Teen Titans #89 preview, now with more Damian

[sherkahn]

DCUBlog has the preview for the Teen Titans as they have to deal with a pain in the ass.

Two behind the cut.





"CHICK" FIGHT!

The artist does impress. Damian does have his father's scowl down.

The problem with that logic is that Damian isn't bullying anyone that can't stand up to him, he's mouthing off to very strong-willed men and women who are more than willing to "hit him on the nose with a newspaper".

Some kids learn when you tell them not to do things, others learn when they burn their hands after they were told not to do things.

But he's not learning because there's no real consequences. In fact, I'm genuinely confused as to why people continue to work with both Damian and Dick. Damian keeps coming out with these comments and Dick's silence when he hears them is a tacit acceptance that this sort of conduct is okay. Damian doesn't care when a woman tells him off for his conduct because he doesn't think they're remotely equal to him. That's why he keeps reducing them to objects; they're not people so what does he care? He does, however, care about Dick's opinion, Dick knows this, so Dick not calling him out on it and correcting his behaviour reflects badly on him too.

But when has Damian suffered anything that he would consider a negative consequence for his misogyny? He's had a few fights with Steph (but he seems to enjoy that) he had an earnest but incredibly mild talking-to from Kara (which he ignored), and....?

No one has ever looked him sternly in the eye and said, without humour, "you are an insufferable, over-entitled little child, and until you get enough sense to grow out of that you aren't worthy of the name Robin. I'm surprised Dick isn't ashamed to be your mentor, because I sure as hell would be"

That's the kind of response that might actually get him to think about what he says.
