"And please for the love of God. I really hope Damien does not turn out to be the next Jason Todd."
Actually, I didn't think about this until I read this bit, but yeah, Dick's giving the costume to Damian for just about the same reason that Bruce gave it to Jason, with the previous holder of the costume being just as affected by it. Hopefully there isn't any crow-bars in the kid's future--he's a whiny brat now, but there's no such thing as a bad character, just wasted potential waiting to be used.
