[sherkahn]

Fallout from their encounter with new foe NoBody begins for Batman and son. ComicBookResources has the preview. 2 pages behind the cut.





The Wayne's have a dynamic discussion (I know that you know that I know....), which leads to (once again) Alfred showing the World's Greatest Detective that his missed something.

Oh i agree that he is not handling Damian well. i think that Damian is so different from all the other Robins that he just doens't understand HOW to deal with him. like i said, he is trying "Boys like Puppies right?" but he really should talk to alfred or dick about him. it might be easier on him

I'm pretty sure Damian being (a) his biological son, and (b) having been raised by Talia are contributing factors. Unlike the other Robins, Damian was trained from Day 1 to be an assassin, and his being blood-related to Bruce causes him to feel more entitled to Bruce. Bruce on the other hand acknowledges and accepts that he is his son but remains emotionally unattached to him and sees him more as a 'kid who needs fixing.' So yeah, there's considerable disconnect between the two.

But again, we've seen that Bruce forms emotional attachments* to children quite easily, especially those who in some way need his support.

* Which I mean in only the most wholesome of ways.
