I love that book so much. Not bothered about Damian losing and someone give Rose, Damian, connor and Flatline a title plz.
Robins was disappointing in places and okay in places. Didn't like Damian's Gauntlet.
Bruce didn't make Damian Robin, Dick did so not sure what Seeley was playing at. I'm sure he didn't forget.
The choice to use Damian pushing Tim off the Dino as his gauntlet while ignoring his actual canon gauntlet which was Saving Tim's life in BFTC is odd since showing both would have highlighted the growth and difference between when Damian 1st arrived and when he became Robin.
Damian tried to kill Tim when he arrived and risked his life to save Tim just before he was made Robin. That mission and that growth is what showed that Damian had promise and was right for the mantle.
That was a disappointing omission. Seeley instead went with the incorrect fanon that Damian was underserving of the mantle and simply got it because he demanded it. I expected better.
