In the first issue of the second volume of Morrison’s Batman Incorporated, Bruce and Damian are in hot pursuit of the goat-faced, gun-toting Leviathan rank and file. The chase leads them through a slaughterhouse. As bullets and bone saws fly, things get really, really bloody. With the bad guys subdued, but drenched in animal blood – Damian makes a life decision. Chris Burnham and Nathan Fairbairn execute this unforgettable moment … adorably!
Damien has become one of my favorite characters at DC. Grant Morrison has brought real depth of character to him, and the other Bat-writers have picked up on it as well. His final lines in Batman Inc. #5 had my eyes fill with tears of sympathy for the little jerk.

He has been a stellar part of the DCU and one of my favorite characters as well. When he’s written well, the result is storytelling gold.

All I can say is I have always loved Damian and I still do.
He is a great character and a rather intriguing Robin. :)

and he’s going to make an even better villain when he turns on the Bat-family.

I do not see that happening for that is far too pat and cliche and has been done to death with Jason and to a certain extent Roy.
Damian has a very acute sense of right and wrong, and he does not wish to be like his grandfather or mother.
He will be a Batman that will make choices that neither Bruce or Dick could make for the greater good.
I loath the term badass as it is bandied about so much by fanboys and some fangirls that it seems just a joke, but he will be the ultimate one.
