Tier 3 Release: DJSHORT S03E01 - A Riot in Gotham
Added 2025-09-25 15:45:34 +0000 UTCAs a storm front descends upon Gotham, reports of a monster roaming the suburbs causes fear, even from the supervillains themselves!
Damian is hot on the case and intercepts a police radio call referring to the old Gotham Ironworks. With no officers able to attend due to keeping the peace as the storm hits the city, Damian heads to the Ironworks on his own, with no immediate back up.
After investigating, he finds the monster in question. Riot! Who takes an immediate interest into the pretty Robin that has entered his nest. The pair attack one another, but when Damian starts taking blow after blow and even put through a wall, his armor buckles from Riot's savage assault.
Exposed, Damian has to watch in horror as Riot's violent demeanor changes and uses his muscles to arouse himself. Damian fearing what could happen if he doesn't escape fast, manages to stun the monster, but it isn't long enough for him to call for back up or escape...
Riot pins him down and forces Damian to submit, and doesn't let up at all. Soon Damian feels Riot's knot swelling rapidly inside and as the storm encompasses the Ironworks overhead, Riot destroy's Damian's soul as he breeds the boy wonder heavily...
Thankfully friends are right around the corner, but will they get to Damian in time, or has Riot got more love to give the pretty Robin.
This animation was potentially the biggest challenge as it was from a 5 piece image set that was never intent on becoming animated. Not only that, the pack created a large story arch in the DJU for Damian that was explored on Discord, so I felt it had to be put into the animation too as it was part of it, and was the beginning of the characters' growth. This is also perhaps the darkest animation I've done, as there is various horror elements you'd come to expect from my content, but also a psychological element to it. As well as animating Riot who is known to be savage and focused from his source material, is pretty violent in terms of prolonged assault.
Damian's story continues in episode S03E06 so a bit of a wait, but the two shorts although linked are self contained stories as Episode 6 will explore the aftermath in a very contrasting environment and set up.
Bit nervous for this one just cause it is very different, it also weighs in at 11minutes so its a bit longer than the average short, but it is the first of the season so I'll allow the slight overrun lol. Feel free to comment on what you think in the comments below and I hope you enjoy!

2025-09-27 10:01:01 +0000 UTCAnimation Gorgeous animation. I like the action sequences, and Damian's smirk at the start was great. Sexy Damian's face is real. Good animation with all of Damian getting tossed around. Riot is so fluid in his movements. I love it. The leap from the roof to the tackle was amazing. Damian’s face when the Riot goes in and he grimaces was fantastic! Riot's little wiggle as he goes in was a nice touch. Your animation skills just improve with each animation. There’s so much attention to detail. It’s fantastic. Well done with the Damian crying moments. There was one moment early on, when Damian was on the bike when he first arrived…It looked like he was going into T pose rather than sitting up on the bike. Story The story was fantastic. Great start with the montage of the city. I love details like that to set things up and use the boys as cameos. Little details like that are what make you stand out. I loved Tim checking in, and Damian slowly becoming hopeless. You really captured the start of this arc without going too dark…then that ending, holy cow, Tim and Damian are a couple for real. I love how Tim just gets it and protects Damian. Really made me emotional. Great Job. Feel bad for Damian. His slow descent from smug to afraid was well done. It was just dark enough without going overboard. Spicy Bits- Riot sticking his tongue down Damian's throat was amazing. Kind of wa. Really love the frotting at the start and then later when Riot had one in and one out. Nice touch with making the bike basically a third character. Love how Riot was playing with him. Great positions. I like how Riot was just covering Damian the whole time. Really showcases his overpowering nature. Great idea to do 1 in and one out. It helps sell what Damian is going through because one of them is always visible. My one minor complaint was that Damian cumming was a bit disappointing. Feels like people who were going into this for Damian got cheated, as it was like 1.5 seconds long. That was a letdown. It should have been like 3-5 seconds to give it screen time. As a side note to this, I feel like this is kind of a recurring issue that I’d like to see corrected. Thinking back to Dante in Happy Campers, Jason in Clayface, and Damian in this one. It seems like sometimes “starring: characters got cheated a bit. They are billed as starring in the animation, but then they end up getting treated as afterthoughts. Damian’s climax was one of those moments. Riots fine, but I’m here for Damian, and a blink and you miss cumshot was a let down. Pretty much every animation this season has at least three characters in it, so make sure everyone has their moment and not just a “here’s 5 seconds at the end for them,” kind of thing. Just something to be mindful of when plotting, I would say. Make sure that one character or character moment doesn’t get pushed to the back of the animation and has to get cut short. Damian got tons of screen time in this, but just that cumshot should have been a bit longer…but it is sort of connected to my other point, haha. Other All the sound effects fit well, and I loved Damian’s dialogue in this. Perfect. It was never like, “Please shut up.” The lighting effects with Riot were amazing. The silent credits were chilling. Hurricane Dante was great. Damian’s leg being a recurring moment was great. The Audio was spot on. That scream as we transitioned to the time moment was chilling. Really feel for Damian. Final Thought Great season opening. It definitely set the tone; this is what a season premiere should be. I love the character bits, got into Damian’s head. It’s better than anything in season 1 or 2 by far. Season 1 was basic sex scenes, season 2 expanded on the idea by doing more story elements, and then this added more character elements, and I love it. This is how you bring the DJU to life. There’s so much I want to ramble about, but I’ll stop, haha. Thank you for an amazing animation, DJ! I'm sure I forgot to say a ton. Very respectful to Damian while also getting the dark theme across. Hard line to walk, but you did it to perfection. Final Rank-10/10
