I could see it in his eyes the moment we met. It was like looking in a mirror. Ever since his mother brought him to me... it was clear to me was going to be a handful. Calling him entitled would be an understatement. To the role of Robin. To taking life. And he never questioned that he'd one day be Batman. He's as strong as he is stubborn. And there is no doubt in my mind that Damian can take care of himself.
