Robin-the other Robin-you're important to him. You might not be from our universe, but you're the same man, and he needs...he needs Batman. Even if he intends not to, he'll look to you for guidance and acceptance. [His eyes remain masked but they bore into the bat cowl with an unwavering gaze.]

Don't let him down. [It's not fair to Batman and he couldn't care less. Grayson was needy in a way that Damian never would be, and Bruce was the father to him that he had yet to be to Damian-time and circumstances had never worked in their favor. Whatever Grayson intended, he would end up looking to this man, of that, Damian was sure.

And if there is a subtle implication in the statement that Damian doesn't need him, well, he isn't going to protest it.]
