My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-
If I were casting Damian (or Cassandra, for that matter), I would try casting someone who of mixed heritage with the most storyline-important ethnicity first (some degree of middle eastern descent for Damian, some degree is Asian descent for Cassandra) and backwards extrapolate Talia and Shiva’s ethnicity from that.
I’ll be honest and say I get the complaints about not doing Duke if you want to do diversity, but still am happy that Tim is making it regardless.
Ideally, you would eventually have both, and then work hard at differentiating them without screwing anything up.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
Birth of the Demon came out long before Batman Inc. Just because Morrison tripped on continuity doesn't invalidate all the prior established backstory and cultural influences that influenced the Al Ghuls. I don't see why future artists can't draw Talia or her mom as Chinese/Arab or why a woman of that ethnicity couldn't have a name like 'Melisande' either as an alias or something her parents gave her to better blend in to society.

DC can ret con race as easy as back story. Currently Etta Candy is black. They can easily make Damian looking more Arabic than white anytime they want. Who looking like who has as much validity as continuity so it comes down to what you choose.
So I choose this.

Lycurgo is also in The Batman in an undisclosed role. Is he playing TWO different Robins?

I still would have preferred to bring either one of the black Batfamily Members or Teen Titan Characters on the show over race bending Tim.
Btw. is there a time jump or how are they explain, that there is allready a new Robin.
