Yeah, if they made him a goody two shoes like Dick or Tim (don't get me wrong, I love those characters but its been done) it would be boring. I've seen that all before. Having a Robin who comes from a drastically different background makes the character unique and memorable. It also forces Batman himself to change. Damien is his son. He can't just "fire" him or give up on him. He has to show this obnoxious screwed up little weapon how to be a hero. The alternative is seeing his own son become an assassin. And Damien, with all his flaws, knows that being a hero is the only real way out of the life that was laid out for him by Talia. He desperately wants to be a hero, which I think brilliantly plays into his rivalry with the former Robins...he's trying to prove to himself, more than anyone, that he can be the best Robin ever. This manifests itself into obnoxious behavior because, frankly, he's a kid with a lot of growing up to do. He's immature. There was an issue of, I think, Batgirl (pre reboot) where Damien is talking to Stephanie and they laid it all out for the reader. And I remember that is precisely the moment I started to like him. Even the notion of Robin's role is handled well. Robin doesn't exist to keep Batman from becoming a maniac. The Robin role exists for Batman to take angry traumatized kids and mold that inner need for revenge into something positive. Damien, in many ways, is Batman's toughest challenge because he was already well on his way down a dark path. |

yeah, that's kinda how it worked for me too. if Morrison had been the only writer to use Damian, i would probably still hate the little prick. b/c even though he created him, i think he writes him the worst/with the least depth. it was when other writers used him, guys like Dini, Miller, Tomasi, etc., that i finally started to come around on how much fun he can be. |

|

and yeah, this paragraph is what i said earlier. totes agreed. and as to the bolded part, it's almost like, and i hate to say this, that Damian has been Jason Todd done right. |
||
|

|

Yep. Even though Jason is alive somehow (I don't understand how nor do I care to find out) he still represents a failure for Batman. He's the one Batman couldn't "save". He couldnt mold Jason into a hero like Nightwing or Red Robin became. Jason became a villain for a while and now hes some sort of stupid Punisher wannabe or something. The anger consumed him. If Damien goes down that road, the consequences could be far worse. |

Enough explanation why DC would kill him off. |

Misleading covers aren't exactly a new phenomenon in comics. |

Probably, his days as Robin are probably done, though. |
||
|
||
|
||
Tomasi probably didn't know what Morrison was planning, either. That would be par for the course when it comes to DC and Morrison |
||
|
||
|
||
I don't know why you'd think that, unless they go ahead and grow him to his Kingdom Come version. |
||
|
||
|

And apparently DC spoils it themselves in every issue that has a "Channel 52". |
