What happened to the "Damian is a harbinger of doom" storyline?

As I understood it, if Damian survived to adulthood and became Batman, the world would become terrible and apocalyptic. His death was a neccecary tragedy.

I understand that comic characters are revived from death just because they're popular, but did they ever "explain away" the fact that he's basically just like... Damian from The Omen?

Like did they make any effort to retcon the impending doom he represents?

No the world is going to be a terrible hellhole. But Damian as Batman would utterly fail to stop Hurt and the world would burn

Alternate future.

There you go.

How is this "alternate" if Damian lived...?
>>
>>91264096
It was a possible future, Bruce and Dick's influence probably averted it.

where was that a thing?
just because of Batman 666? All possible comics futures are shit. That was just a story where Damian becomes Batman and Gotham reflects the edginess that he would bring to the role (which matches Morrison's background idea that Gotham is a living thing that reacts to Batman)

>where was that a thing?
Toward the final issues of the Morrison run had Dr. Hurt getting Gotham nuked if Damian became Batman in the future. Bruce saw that during the Final Crisis timetravel arc and it was trying to prevent it.

To answer OP, Damian was killed in that run, so in the context of that story that was prevented. Tomasi bringing him back and fucking up old plot points is just how comics work.
