But Morrison *also* knew that Damian was popular and was very, very well received. Other writers clearly didn't mind using him or simply avoiding the use of him in other stories, so it's hardly like the other writers were being forced into using Damian. At this point, removing Damian from the proceedings just seems to go against everything Morrison was trying to do, frankly. We've gone from the bold innovation and teamwork of Batman and Robin, and the quirky team-ups of Batman Inc to Morrison basically going 'fuck it, I can't change anything, Batman is THIS' and actively contributing to it in the worst way possible by basically lumping Bruce into the worst place he's been in since Jason's death, arguably. Other writers have arguably changed Batman's status quo and bounced, but with Morrison, he's added so much and now it just feels like he's saying 'if I'm not playing with these toys I've made anymore, no-one else can', which just feels fundamentally wrong in terms of what you should be doing as a writer for an ongoing character.
