I choose to forget all the 'death of Damian' bullshit that I have had to deal with in the past couple of years. I think that Damian is one of the great addition to the Bat Family. We always knew that Batman had a son with Talia, the daughter of Ra's al Ghul but who ever thought he would be the coolest and snottiest 10 year old you have ever wanted to meet? I love his love for his animals (including Bat Cow) and the way that he disrespects Alfred by calling Pennyworth and treating him like a servant. You just want to slap the kid for his arrogance but he is more than likely to slap you back.
 
This comic is a good chance to get back with the Robin I know and love. From this preview it looks like he is still up to his old tricks and getting himself involved in situation that should be way above Damian's head to deal with. Underestimating him is everyone's first mistake.
 
Now I have no idea how he will operate in the 'real' world with his new Monster buddy because it's hard to be stealthy with Chewbacca behind you. In some fantasy world this concept would be perfect. I am intrigued enough to keep reading this series. These days everything is so hit and miss. I would be nice to read more than a few issues in a row before getting bored and moving to another title o creative team.
