Finished reading Hope's end issue 5 and TT#43.
Damian's character in Hope's end should be the ideal personality in the main timeline, the latter seems like a total regression.
It was not even regression, it was total slaughter. Like, okay he killed again etc I'm starting to accept that fact, but there's no way he wants other TT members to join him and become 'team murder'? I remember in this same f*cking shitty Teen Titans run he even blamed himself because Red Arrow killed Deathstroke for his sake?
I didn't expect anything good, but I still feel disappointed.
Honestly, I’m strangely not convinced by the pages of Teen Titan #43. It could just be bad writing, which of course is extremely possible, but the problem I’m having is the plot and some of the writing itself.
1. We don’t see Damian kill brother blood, he only says it’s true. Not even a flashback page or even video or something that he truly did it.
2. He leaves dirt behind both for the titans and Batman, for what reason?
3. And at the end he doesn’t kill KGBeast he only cuts off his fake gun arm where if this was really the direction to go he would have dealt a more fatal blow.
I could be wrong but something feels wrong and I’m just not buying it. I'm not immediately convinced that we are getting the whole picture, but I suppose that remains to be seen.

Yeah like I feel if we were going to make a turn where Damian starts killing people, we would actually see him kill someone. Or if we didn't the evidence wouldn't be we found dirt, it would be they found a security camera with Damian on it killing someone.
It feels more like Damian is testing people or something

The current run of the Teen Titan's is...better term is lacking. Honestly, I think an agreement can be made we all just want this run to end. Hopefully Damian's gets some cool off after this whole 'I become a killer because I was born for it' fiasco.
Also something about Hope's End issue 5
Really expected Damian to call Steph fat at the end though.
Even if his actions are a ruse, Damian's thoughts alone piss me off. I just want this terrible book to burn in a dumpster.
At the same time, Damian left clue for Bruce as well. If he really became a killer, it would be strange for him to put Batman on his own track, knowing that he would easily stop him.
I guess there will be something else. Thompson didn't even show Blood's body and the moment of his death.
