Detective #1000 Enter the BatCave

Damian looks really good here. Nearly as pretty as Jim's Dick Grayson from ASBR who is hands down the most aesthetically pleasing Robin

So is Damian going to be Tomasi's Robin on Tec? This is a cool cover

The Oath

Where's Goliath these days? Glass not a fan?

I'm having The Lion King flashback when I saw Damian comparing paw prints with his dad

"Sigh... ten more years... at least"

Panels like that touch me the most because I can recognise them from my own life. Tomasi's Batman was relatable.
What happened to his IPod?

His music and Art have been ignored by writers or perhaps he hasn't had time for leisure.

The first issue of Robin: SOB revealed that the iPod was a spying/communication device of either Ra's or Talia. Which answers one of the questions brought up by the long forsaken but still the best Damian tumblr @deconstructingdamian of where it came from and who gave it to him. Although Damian clearly didn't know that, given his reaction to Ravi talking on it, and I suspected it was Talia not Ra's as she's much more likely to take advantage of the lack of communication between the bats and drop of a small present knowing that Alfred, Bruce, and Dick all would assume the other got it for him, or maybe even Tim.

Oddly enough, the lack of his practicing his art, music, and theater doesn't bother me like it should because it explains his attitude and behavior regression. Way back in September @irene asked me if I thought Damian's mental health was better than Bruce's despite his past, and the answer was yes because of his nonviolent creative pursuits. His explanation to Carrie about why he wanted to get into theater is actually one of the reasons listed by the American VA and various young offenders rehabilitation programs as why acting and staging productions are highly effective treatments for C-PTSD. Creating art, be it music, crafting, painting, or sculpture is widely regarded as one of the best and most effective ways to work through and recover from traumatic experiences, particularly combat. So his not doing any of those things correlates with his going down a dark path and making terrible decisions in response to Metal, No Justice, and the cluster of emotional abuse and neglect that is King's Batman direction.

The iPod, though, that was some impressive long range story planning on the parts of Tomasi and Gleason.

Have you guys seen what was revealed about Damian in Tomasi's new issue of Detective Comics?

That's a cool way to think about it. He's not indulging in his creative hobbies anymore because of his current state of mind/behavior. But I wish this was actually addressed in story. Ever since TT began, Damian's been regressing and it's never acknowledged. If writers actually showed something like this, showed maybe Carrie or someone wondering why Damian cancelled his lessons, or a family member commenting on a change in his behavior--something to signal that there's something going on, then I'd be happy.
