Morrison and Kubert are creating a classic. This, I feel, is a story that will have repurcussions on Batman's world for years to come. I know he doesn't really need any more characters in his already overwelming cast, but this, could prove to be a welcome addition. Talia claims that Damian is Bruce's son. But, she hasn't provided any proof to back up that accusation yet. First of all, this kid is a spoiled brat. Secondly, he's a dangerous brat, because he's been trained by the League of Assassins. And finally he doesn't feel that he has to earn the respect, or prove himself to anybody. This kid's got a dangerous combination going on. And worse yet, now that Bruce has adopted Tim, how's he going to take it? This kid accomplishes 3 things in the short time of this book, first he behead a criminal that Batman is chasing. Batman basically has everything wrapped up, and as he finds the villian, he finds him headless. Then he provokes a fight with Tim and the 2 of them duke it out in the BatCave, it ends with Tim looking like he's seriously hurt. Then he shows up on the rooftops of Gotham, dressed in a Robin outfit of his own making, saying that he's come to help his father fight crime. When asked where the real Robin is, Damian just replys, "He quit. Father." Like I said, the beginning to an instant classic. I know Morrison and Kubert won't be on board for a long time, but I'm looking forward to every issue that they do produce. Sheer poetry.
