@nathaniel_christopher: Superman is a reporter, I hope he woldn't use a hollow phrase to speak of a friend. That's pretty much the problem at it's best it's a platitude, a niceness because it doesn't say anything about Dick. Imagine it in a resume "Special attributes" "I'm clearer vision of what a employee is meant to be"
Nevermind that I'm pretty sure Batman was meant to inspire fear in criminals.
And if you go for this issue Batman was meant to give up
Platitudes are meaningless statements, which this isn't. None of what Batman says to Damian about the Robin's in the issue is, nor is it even treated as such within the work. As I said previously, there's no way to read this and argue that Bruce isn't showing respect to everyone he's speaking of, Damian included. I can understand wanting him to go more in-depth, that's one thing, but it also doesn't negate the purpose and praise of his speech. Heck, he said he respects Tim's strategic mind, yet didn't provide a single example as to why or for what.
Everyone in the Bat Family inspires fear in criminals and does all of the same things as Bruce does to some extent, so if you just take "inspire fear in criminals" then I don't really see how it's an issue still.
You could read the entire event and know that Batman's purpose isn't to give up, but ok.
