Re: A Lonely Place of Dying
This is kind of an issue I have with Damian, actually. Because I agree there are class differences--Bruce is a billionaire so they're just there, and I like it when they come out naturally. I do think that his adopted kids have all had a slightly different relationship to Bruce's money and class, with only Tim, imo, seeming to easily take them as his easily.
Then there are the personalities of each person, which sometimes map a little differently. Jason now is "too angry" which can be linked to his class, Steph has some blocks that make her limited (which I wouldn't link directly to her background as Jason's anger is in the text), Babs the daughter of a cop is fine, as is Dick the carny.
But Damian has the rebellious, antagonistic reaction to being taught of Jason or Steph (but far beyond either of them) yet doesn't seem to suffer for it the way they do. And his blood is the only one that seems explicitly tied to his being a hero no matter what his behavior says.
