In the midst of the former Robin ’s readying for the upcoming Lazarus Tournament , Damian has found himself on the same island where al Ghul has been in ego - imposed expatriate , seek to learn from his recent failures at the manpower of Batman and the Outsiders .

Not having much of a choice due to his consistence needing sentence to mend , Damian presently begins learning from Ra ’s al Ghul on how to well train his judgement for battle , despite his grandfather ’s good word that he bide far aside from the League of Lazarus and their Tournament . However , Damian is stubborn and decide to learn about this mathematical group that has been hidden from him for his full life . As a result , the Son of Batman begins learningfrom the Demon ’s Head , one of the Dark Knight ’s great foe . That being said , al Ghul ’s teachings seem to be quite beneficial for the former Robin .
Not only that , but Damian ’s grandfather reveals some key information about himself , including the valuable view that he does n’t see Batman as his enceinte opposition . Instead , Ra ’s al Ghul ’s greatest opponent is Ra ’s al Ghul , believe himself to be his own worst enemy .

give Damian ’s twofold identity as the son of Batman and the successor to the Demon , combined with his current battle for identity and estrangement from his father , it does seem as thoughRa ’s al Ghul ’s teachings are fairly criticalfor Damian ’s future as he settle what kind of person he want to become . In any lawsuit , Damian ascertain himself on Corto Maltese at the yield ’s end , investigating further into the dealing of the League of Lazarus just before the Tournament set out in earnest . Hopefully , Damian will recollect the guardianship ofRa ’s al Ghul , who in reality has valuable lessons to teach that will hopefully make the formerRobinthe honorable he can be in the DC Universe .
