For me, each Robin have their own uniqueness, but I just find that Damian's stories entertain me the most. I know Batman since little from TV, but my first comic book is DickBatman and DamianRobin issue. To be honest, one thing that makes me prefer Marvel over DC for years is outside underwear. I can somewhat tolerate Superman because at least he has smiley personality, but for full-grown adult to be egdy and say something like "I am the night, I am vengeance, I am Dark Knight who streak fear upon my enemies yadda yadda" while wearing outside panty is just pure cringe for me (personal opinion, no offense). So when I see Batman with his outside underwear costume but less dark, less cringe edgy line, and more smiley, with Robin who is not once defenseless kid that get roped (or lead on) to world full of crime and insanity by responsible adult, welp I'm in. That maybe what @Godlike13 means by antithesis. Then, when I read about them more, I'm drawn to Damian. That kid is divisive. That kid is like loose cannon. He usually is the one who instigate something, not just reacted on some condition. And for me it's fun. Not everyone will feel the same for me, and that's fine, because Damian is not the relatable character for everyone type.
And about friends and relationship, personally I prefer him as he is, cannot and will not get along and befriend with anyone. So Damian's little circle of people never bothered me. Even though Glass's run truly overdone it, and i can't tolerate the bond Damian has with other people which already painstakingly crafted by one writer get ruined by another writer.
