every reminder that damian is canonically a manga kid is such a gift. he's defeating mr. freeze with some ice skating bullshit he learned about in medalist (and then researched and practiced on his own ofc). he's failing to deploy social-emotional lessons from skip and loafer because a lot of the series cuts kind of close to home in a way he keeps flinching back from. he's looking at tasers thoughtfully in a way that would make dick grayson leap in to stop him if only dick had also read hunter x hunter. unfortunately dick once cheerfully identified gon freecss as goku so damian is spitefully never, ever going to share his copies.
