"Why were you Robin?" Arms crossed, Damian stood in full Robin gear beside the console demanding his presence be acknowledged. Gotham had been relatively quiet for the night and his body still hummed with unspent energy.

I usually avoid Damian stories like the plague but your summary intrigued me. And I liked this! He's still a jerk but there's hints of soemthing human in there. *squints*

For a kid who's supposedly smart and tough, he sure misreads everyone around him.

Thank you. I'm glad I got around your quarantine. I personally didn't take to Damian until after reading Batman 666 which I didn't read until after a few issues of Batman and Robin came out. When Damian admitted he booby trapped buildings because he could never be as good as Bruce or Dick I suddenly found him a lot more interesting.

Do you know what issue your icon is from? I ask because I was trying to find it for this. It's the passage that Damian isn't knowingly referencing when he suspects Dick thought in terms of forever as a child. I was thinking it was Detective Comics 725 but that was Dixon's "Remember? Us versus them."

And now I seem completely OCD.

Sorry, I don't know what issue my icon's from. You could check with the icon-maker (she's credited in my Icon Page).

I LOVE the theme of Batman and Robin as "Us Against The World!" In the early days it was just them out on the streets relying on each other. And it certainly wasn't as grim with Dick along! He's just what Bruce needed! Still does. :)

I got it. It's Nightwing 75 by Devin. I was way off. This is also the first issue Dick runs into Catalina dressed as Tarantula.

I'm going to pretend I didn't learn these things.

Yes, it's better not to know certain things. :)
