I love Damian, and I love him precisely because he's an arrogant little shitheel. I suppose it would get old after a while, but I believe Alfred will give him a good smack by issue 5, and he will be all the better for it.
I really liked this issue. It's just so *nice* to have Dick being reasonably upbeat. It would have been so easy -and so dully predictable- to have him go the broody & grim route as a result of Bruces' death, so Morrison's writing of him as calm, cheerful and confident in himself is just wonderful.
