While I don't care for Damian as Robin, I enjoyed this one, especially when
Some very awesome panels in this one as well.

the past Robins show up and Damian tries to beat them to prove himself. I also thought the very end was sweet. He still cares for his mother. AwSome very awesome panels in this one as well.

This line really should be just Robin. Or maybe Robin and Batman. Damian is really the star here, Batman just sort of appears to playing the annoyed mentor and father when things go well but not quite to his standards. In this volume we deal with some henchmen that are looking to collect the bounty placed on his head by his own mother. Terminus and the Saturn Club are our villains of the volume, which are great storylines here but my favourite are the Robins trying to get along, with Damian needing to somehow prove that he is the best.

OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO GOOD!
This is one of the best story lines right now in the New 52 world. What I love about this volume is that we get to explore Damian's character more. We get to see a little of what it was like to be raised by Talia which I love to see more of as time goes on. I loved that we got to see all of the male Robins together and how they work and not work together. One of my favorite parts of this volume was Damian trying to prove himself to other Robins and his dad. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

This volume focused less on Bruce and Damian's struggle to find understanding with each other, and more on Damian's want to prove himself as a Robin. The antagonists in these issues lacked the same depth that Nobody possessed in the previous arc, but they were still interesting characters and each plotline remained engaging regardless.
I was very fond of the moments in which the Batboys were all together, though I do hope their rivalries are eventually able to grow into healthier ones with less animosity. Overall my favorite scene was the last one included in this trade, since it was truly touching and showed a softer side of Damian. The Wayne family may be unconventional, but I've come to find their personalities and dynamics highly appealing while continuing to read more comics involving them.
