Damian weaponising his being "the cute little kid" seems entirely in character, and there's something in his high pitched voice which makes any threats he makes instantly hilarious.
I'm actually a little surprised, based on this shows usual approach, that they never depict his actual ruthlessness once he starts fighting for real.
Damien makes a good point about Harley's age. People play her off as a young ditz, but she is a fully qualified doctor who specialized in forensic psychiatry, and then gone onto develop a criminal career. She has to be in her early thirties at the youngest.
I love Damian's voice. I wish more shows had kid characters voiced by actual kids.
I know the logic behind having adult voice kids is that an adult's voice is permanent, while a kid's voice will change as they grow (especially if they are a boy). But I liked Avatar The Last Airbender's approach to the problem: "if it happens, it happens!"
Damian was hilarious in this episode, his very last line (not in the clip, the episode) and batman's reaction was priceless. I also loved Harley's instincts NOT to fight a 12-year-old...where was that restraint during the Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker flashback???

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
