My favorite thing about this book is that it's not dragging Damian through all these negative experiences. These were all things that were done to him previously by bad writers and bad editorial. Instead, this book is doing what none of those writers and editors ever intended on doing, and that is using those past negative experiences as obstacles to overcome on his path of personal growth instead of justifications for unnatural character development. This book is doing what far too many writers are incapable of and this is building their characters back up after they had broken them down, except Williamson wasn't the one who broke Damian down, DC editorial was and they never intended for Williamson writing Robin to be the end result of their efforts. In fact, it's the exact opposite of what they intended to do.
