So Damian Wayne:

Is the son of Batman and Talia AL Ghul and the 5th and current Robin since 2009.

I've noticed though DC has a tendency to villainize him and paint him as the "bad Robin". I mean there was his portrayal in Injustice where he joins Superman's fascist regime against Batman, Teen Titans Rebirth had him secretly imprisoning villains in a super prison, DC's plans for future state involved turning him into a villain.

Now in the current Batman run We have
Damian defend Bruce lobotomizing Jason, imprisoning former villains who wanted to redeem themselves and in general Zur setting up an authoritarian regime in Gotham. He had him reject other characters telling him this (obviously) isn't Bruce by yelling about how his father can finally do what he was meant to do now the others aren't holding him back anymore and has him weirdly pleased that it's just him and his father now.

Even if Damian figured it out in the end, he was the last one to figure out the obvious, he aided the villain and now he's being held hostage by Zur by his own fault until the "good" Batman and Robin free him. And if they have to sacrifice anything to rescue him Damian is going to be blamed for it.

NGl it feels really weird and a problematic to always do this to the Robin that is a POC, especially when it is used to contrast with Tim as the "good Robin" like the current Batman run is doing

He was doing so good til the bold part   I wonder how his twin DragonSJ or whatever his username is doing.

yeah, the important thing about his character is that hes a quarter vague hand wavy 'middle eastern', not that he was raised and indoctrinated from birth by an immortal eco-fascists assassin death cult
