Damian was the one who had to watch Alfred get his neck snapped. Yet they let Bruce have traumatic visions about that before Damian. They let characters blame Damian for Alfred's death with nobody truly correcting these characters or apologize to Damian for blaming him, a boy who was only 13 at the time and just lost the first person who took his side in the batfamily. Jason blaming Damian was bad, then Bruce couldn't get off his ass even after Barbara told him to do so to comfort Damian and then Tim just went "Anyway, here is my story about Alfred". And nobody ever truly adresses just how much they failed Damian afterwards. Even the apologies from Bruce never truly hit the mark on what went wrong. The other characters weren't even made to apologize.
Some Tim Drake fans are still pissed because of Damian becoming Robin, but the lack of respect Damian has been treated with?
I don't want Damian to kill him, but let him beat Bane's ass.
He deserves it.
