he cares about the ideal that it represents though even if he always thinks of himself as too tainted to really be able to live up to that ideal. i see a lot of damian fans who think damian's reaction to the prospect of killing would be repulsion and thought him getting excited at being able to use lethal force without them dying in robin (2021) was ooc but
tbh i don't really agree. he cares about giving people second chances like he was given, because he thinks that if he judges people as being deserving of death and carries it out then dick and alfred and eventually bruce and stephanie were wrong about him
