It scares me how S_D's opinion suddenly seems to have shifted in Damian's favour! I mean, why? He's still the same annoying, over-the-top, unrealistically-clever-and-badass-for-his-age, spoilt brat most of us started out hating! He's just all out disagreeable!
Well, for my part, it's because he's so effing unintentionally hilarious. There's nothing he says or does that doesn't crack me up. I've got over the biological determinism thing. DC has shown no sign of getting what makes the Bat-verse tick in years and I have give up all hope that they ever will.
They have an established character cycle. First they do something atrocious to them, followed by something fucking awesome, followed by nonsensical character regression. (Barbara's crippling, becoming Oracle, then unceremoniously disbanding the Birds and moving into her former mentor's discarded base/ Killing Jason Todd, bringing him back in awesome fashion, crapping on him ever since/ Firing Dick in the worst way imaginable, making him Nightwing, then crapping on him for the majority of his own book/ No Man's Land, introducing Cassandra Cain, making her go evil for no reason whatsoever/ That Whole Fiasco With Leslie Thomkins/ Tim Drake. Nuf Said) I'm waiting for them to do something awesome with Damien before they flush him down the toilet with the rest.
