Battle for the Cowl is the only time I ever remember Damian sounding anything like how Bendis writes him. And that's not a compliment.

I just realized he's writing Talia the same way he wrote Emma Frost.

*facepalm* Yeah. Bendis has no idea who she is.

The tone I am getting from this dialogue is so robotic. I don't feel any emotion from it at all not ever suspicion, worry, humor, or affection. Nothing. That makes me really sad.

Everybody’s super serious and Damian’s just wondering if his mom brought any snacks.

At least he didn't start throwing batarangs.

Although I feel like every batfamily member should at least keep a juice box and a healthy snack in their utility belt for emergencies or even a small army rations just in case.

Now, I am curious has this ever came up in a comic before?

"Hi, Damian, sweetie" sounds like stereotypical mom dialogue to me. Which Talia is not and never has been. Even before Morrison her voice was not this.
I don't know if Damian calling her mom is supposed to be a joke or just Bendis being Bendis.

Battle for the cowl was weird.

I won't spoil who Leviathan is here but from what I've seen on other sites Damian isn't Leviathan. Future Damian is also not Leviathan. I don't know why some people thought that was a good theory but they were wrong. Especially after the end of the last issue.

Bendis being Bendis. The guy cannot write Damian at all, and seems to have never read anything with him in it either. So it makes sense he would butcher Talia as well.
