How did Damian even get Klarion's wand?
I honestly wasn't even thinking of any non-Bat hero when I said that. I've long since accepted that, for some reason, Bruce has claim over Gotham and no other hero is allowed to help make that place less of a hellhole. That said, you would think at least one member of the family would be smart enough to anticipate Damian doing something like this (especially Tim). But I guess they were all like me and thought that even he wouldn't be this dumb.
Damian didn't technically act out of character but, once again, it feels like his arrogance and overall lack of common sense were exaggerated to levels that he shouldn't be at anymore. It's kind of the same issue I have with him in Teen Titans (kinda funny how that series is the most mature and immature he's been) I don't know if puberty has put his brain out of whack or something but sometimes it feels like his judgement was better at ten years old (post-death) than it has been lately. This is the third time in a VERY short amount of time that he's gotten his ass kicked for being an idiot. I hope this is the time he actually learns something.
Like I said, he doesn't necessarily feel...wrong or out of character. Just....slightly off. Exaggerated even. I hope they're going somewhere with the fact that he's had more fuck ups, thanks to his hubris, than victories in recent years

So will Batman now get and AI butler?
Its still amazing to me how bad King's Batman is. Batman gets beaten by his father despite the fact that Batman should be a much better fighter than him. I really hate King's run and cant wait until it ends.
Keep in mind that Batman wasn't at his peak condition when the fight occurred. He has been through hell, both physicaly and mentally. You could easily explain the loss this way. Plus, cant remember if it was ever explained what kind of training Thomas had. For all we know he could be better trained than Bruce

We don't know that. Before being revived in Rebirth, Thomas was in all of about 5 or 6 issues. We don't know the extent of his training.
Not to mention Bruce is fighting a father he long idealized. Yes, it's an alternate universe version, but it's still the face of a man he based his entire life mission behind avenging. Needless to say, his heart probably wasn't fully in that flight.

I don't think Alfred is dead. I think we'll find out that Thomas replaced him with a double for reasons, and the double was killed while Alfred is still locked away. Or at least that's what the next writer will say to undo the death.
I had high hopes for Damian here, especially when he took down GG, but then he got his ass beat with a punch and a curb stomp. Meh.
