He's the perfect mix, the child between two of the most powerful people in the DC Universe: Batman (need I say he's Bruce Wayne?) and Talia al Ghul, (considered) the heir to her father, Ra's al Ghul. Genetically perfected in an artificial womb, he was born in the blood of the attending midwife whom his mother killed. Damian Wayne was raised without the knowledge of his father by the League of Shadows, a secret assassin society headed by his grandfather. After finally revealed Damian's father's identity to him, Talia sends her son to train under his father as way to disrupt Batman's work. Unbeknownst to her, he truly wants to help his father since it's his duty as the true born son. He attempts to take over the role of Robin from Tim Drake by fighting him, unsurprisingly forming a tense and difficult relationship. It also doesn't help that Damian has practically no social skills. After Batman's "death", his oldest son, Nightwing (or Dick Grayson) —though none of his ruthlessness—regain a little bit of his lost childhood. The two brothers bond over as Batman and Robin until Batman's return. His mother becomes doubtful of her son's loyalty and eventually sends Heretic, Damian's clone to kill him. However, Batman was recently able to resurrect Robin with a Chaos shard.
Honestly, Damian Wayne is a bit of a controversial figure. Most fans either love him or hate him—there's no in between. Fans of Tim Drake, the former Robin no doubt resent him to some degree for taking the place of their favourite, but I like to think that Damian eventually grew on them. When Batman disappears, Dick Grayson takes the cowl with Damian as his Robin. Under the tutelage of his adoptive older brother, Damian begins to lose some of his coldness but none of his ruthlessness.We have to keep in mind of his upbringing and the fact that he's still just a child. In the League of Shadows, showing emotions is considered weak. Gradually, Damian does express his caring side to others though in peculiar ways. And I find that adorable. Despite his brattiness (hence the nickname, "Demon Brat"), he does have his endearing moments like:

Now that makes all the infuriating moments worth it.
