    Agree with the above which is why I welcomed the prison and shooting Black mask. Development isn't just one way and growth comes from failure and **** ups. It just feels like Damian has been doing nothing but Fucking up.

    The Jail
    accusing jason with no proof
    Strapping a bomb to himself and threatening to blow himself up WTF
    accusing jason with no proof again
    no caring about Alfred's being in danger in the last Batman issue

    4 out of those 5 **** ups are also extremely out of character

    This isn’t ultimately Damian’s fault. It’s a Sofie’s choice.

    That and the Arkham Knight arc in Tomasi's Tec had him as a competent hero and partner to Bruce.

    The secret prison in Teen Titans was an idea that had to go wrong.
    He accused Jason of betraying him with not enough evidence for his
    claims and got beaten up by him pretty badly in the same book.

    Bendis made Damian accuse Jason as the person behind Leviathan (without Bendis coming up with any good explanation how Damian came to that conclusion, but Bruce goes along with that theory anyway. Why?) and he is most certainly wrong.

    And now whatever that is going to be.

    There is making a character lose from time to time so we know they can still fail and then there is throwing a character under the bus over and over again.

    Just watched Lego Batman Family Matters. Enjoyed it a bunch. Damian was a cross between RobinDick and Damian which wasn't a problem everyone was a tad perky so didn't mind Damian being extra perky. It is a kids movie after all

    I enjoyed it a lot too. Damian in it reminded me of Damian in Tec

    At the end of the day it's the fault of Bane and Thomas for being villains.
    It just irks me that a) King sees the rest of the batfamily only as angst-fodder and nothing else for his mediocre run and b) Dick got shot in the head. Definitely not his fault, he did nothing wrong. Tim got punched in the face, because he tried to be nice. Not his fault. Damian? Yeah, let's just make this child think he's responsible for Alfred, basically his grandfather, getting his neck snapped. He hasn't enough on his conscience already apparently.

    Jesus Christ. I seriously hope this run ends soon. I seriously, seriously want it to end. King only writes "well-written" characters when everything is up in the air and everything's ambigous. Characters with strong personalities? Don't think so. Damian killing Nobody? Sick, I admit, but ultimately in character. Turning supposedly evil in Beyond? Again, a possible route for his character and one that is backed up by a coherent backstory in universe. This? This sick, twisted writing? Nope. The latter part of King's run will probably do a Zero Hour and be forgotten, hopefully. Can't wait til I forget about it entirely either way

    spoilers:
    SOOOO Damian saves a citizen and his pet from getting killed by scarecrow and zsasz. Find Thomas Wayne Batman. Thomas initially tries to reason with him. Damian(I'm trying to be unbias here but...) acts all arrogant and throws the usual verbal insults. Thomas tells Damian that Alfred suggested the bat fam not come for fear of his life so that Damian wouldn't try to invade and get himself killed. Thomas outclasses him and it sounds like he really didn't wanna fight Damian. Damian still with the verbal banter, Thomas puts him down hard with 2 kicks. Damian knocked out is tied up in a chair. Alfred is talking in the background, pleading that Bane doesn't kill him in front of the boy. Thomas is also regretful of this outcome, but it is not his city, it is the city of Bane and Bane snaps Alfred's neck. Damian is crying and Thomas tries to sympathize with him, but tells him now that Damian is the hostage replacing Alfred. And Thomas ends it off hoping that the Bat fam wont be as childish as Damian was and makes the same mistake.

    Thanks for the breakdown i dropped Batman a while back and wasn't planning on picking this up but was curious anyway.

    Thomas isn't the best judge or the best at making decisions so I'm guessing the wise move is not to listen to him anyway.

    I'm tired of dc trying to sell their books with controversy and shock value. I have no plans to pick up any of King's issues.

    The new TT wasn't better either.

    spoilers:
    The whole team minus Emiko now decides that with D'Jinn's power, they will "fix"(mind mess up) super villains and give them new civilian identities and monitor them. Example: Brother Blood is a gardener now
    end of spoilers

    Screw DC, I'm not buying anything anymore, except for maybe detective comics. Sorry if I sound salty, but DC isn't for me anymore. Not if they pull crap like this every few weeks.

    WHAT! I said Djinn was evil no way is Damian that persuasive.

    The plan will fail since we know Black mask is fine
