The influx of child characters after OYL (Sin, Chris, Helena, Damian, Jai & Iris) was... fascinating, and I took an instant liking to all of them (with the exception of Damian of course). I have to admit that I'm a sucker for superhero moms and dads, so the cutesy moments were right up my alley. :p Still, it amused me that only Jai & Iris stayed till the end, the rest all got sent away with faked deaths and whatnots.
Damian just confuses me. I can only assume the Batclan has some weird sense of genetic loyalty to Bruce, which annoys the hell out of me. Just because he has Wayne DNA doesn't mean he gets to be Robin.
The character himself really doesn't help much, the constant brattiness is what grated on me the most. I can even wank the whole thing if he had been raised just like most kids, but the fact that they told us he was trained with the League of Assassins since birth? JUST NO.
