Ive Got Just Enough Capital

me messaging a best friend w/zero lead-in:

I think Damian is a very kind person. SO much SO that he forgives his crazy father, Bruce, for repeatedly hurting him emotionally.

And... I think Bruce must be aware of this, which is why he was afraid when Damian said he would stop being Robin.

"HE DID NOT COME TO GOTHAM TO BE BRUCE WAYNE'S SON OR TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE."

What Bruce said to Jason in Batman and Robin #18 is true. Even though Damian is underage, he is capable enough to live on his own without parental guidance.

Damian is different from Bruce's other adopted children, not because he is Bruce's biological son, but because Damian doesn’t need parents to support him in terms of living and everyday needs. (Of course, he's Al Ghul, and Talia has taught him enough skills to survive without his parents.)

Therefore, I’m not surprised that Bruce expressed his fear of losing Damian when he said, "HE CAME FOR BATMAN. IF HE IS NOT BATMAN'S PARTNER ANYMORE, THERE IS NOTHING KEEPING HIM HERE."

It seems that the world's greatest detective and the world's most clueless father are the same person.

Bruce doesn’t even realize that Damian still wants to be the son of Bruce Wayne.

Damian still wants the things Bruce gives to his adopted children so easily : unconditional love & trust.
