Why Damian Is Overated.
i was like you at first but then the character developed and he started to grow on me. the little bugger.
The only problem I have with Damian's character now is his age. I simply can't justify a 10 year old beating some of the people he fights. I understand skill overcoming the average crooks. However, when he faces somebody with the slightest bit of training his stature and strength should lead him to lose.
I hated the kid at the beginning, mostly because he forced out Drake. Luckily the Red Robin series took off and Damian has grown to be a more sympathetic character. If he was 14-15, then I think the character would be vastly improved.

He's a Robin. Dick was 8 when started kicking criminal ass. Damien has been trained from birth by some of the deadliest people on the planet. He was brought to term in a tank, so if you have some problems with the sheer physicality of a ten year old being able to match some of these opponents, then just assume Talia had a slight bit of genetic modification going on.
Plus a human at age 10 is extremely light. I think you'd be surprised how fast, agile, and acrobatic one of those little suckers could be if trained at brutally as Damien was.

more detail is needed for a convincing argument. Sounds more like a hate thread without reason.
The only people that hate Damian are the ones that haven't read Morrison's run in order. He starts off unlikeable on purpose. That's his entire character arc.
I hated him for a long time, but recently he's started to grow on me as his character has developed more.
He's little arse but that's what makes him enjoyable. Same as why Emma's btchiness makes her great. Hate her guts but she's a great character. If all characters were likable fiction in general would be extremely boring.
He's a robin that offers something different, He isn't lil happy go lucky Boy wonder. That's why I like him at least.
He's fun and way more interesting than Tim. He's unique and different than the other Robins, he might be a little brat but that's kinda what makes him feel like a breath of fresh air compared to Dick and Tim. Most of the people who say they hate him either only read the beginning/middle of Morrison's run, or didn't read it at all and just formed their opinion from Tomasi's Batman and Robin. Damian is more of an underrated character, in my opinion anyway.
Damian Wayne is one of my favorite robins. Sure, he may be a bit arrogant, but that doesn't make him a bad character. This kid Kicks-Ass!

Nice. So instead of posting a well thought out argument, you decide to say what amounts to nothing. The fact that you decided to neither put an argument nor state anything consequential leads me to simply deduce that you aren't looking to make a justification for yourself, but to let others make points against and for you rather than actually being productive about it.
Damian's the most hated Robin there is. I'm not sure how he can possibly be overrated. I think people need to read Morrison's entire run on him to really get a good feel for the character and then judge him. He's not the best Robin by any means, but he's a little more than people make him out to be.
I actually am starting to like this kid. He can be a jerk but...idk...he's growing on me. I think he is important for the Batman continuity....and he did a lot for Grayson's character (probably his most redeeming quality). I think it will be interesting to see him as he grows up (what persona he takes, when he finally takes the cowl, etc)
