Well  with  all  his death  and now  Batman  Incorporated ,  the truth is  that  not  much  has been  shared  with  Damian  and  treatment  a distant ,  not  as it has  been  with  Tim .  I think Bruce  does not  care much  for  him.

In fact  those who  have taken charge  of him and  improve  his  attitude  have  been  Dick and  Alfred , they do  that take  all the credit.    

Bruce is a bad father and a bad father figure.  This has been obvious since the first night he allowed Dick to go out on patrol with him. 

Bruce should spend more time with his son and less time with his "UN of Batmen". 

WHAT?! something batman isn't the best at? the fanboys must be so upset.

Depends really, being a father is hard work, and there is a certain meta element at play here. Batman is sort of like a guy in real life who is the best surgeon in a particular operation, that only really he and 2 others can do, with about 5000 people who will die without that surgery on a waiting list thats constantly growing longer with not much of a time limit either. Its sort of a case of work life vs personal life. Batman never intended to be a father, but now that he is... well. His current plans however actually (if executed right) should create a more ideal future for people who are similar to him. If there were 30 Batmen around right now, Bruce could probably be a better father. Just like if there were 100 surgeons in my example, those guys could be better fathers as well. I do think in shorter terms, and instances he could be though as well.

Maybe Bruce came up with Batman Incorporated to avoid having to deal with being a father? :P

LFMAO xD. Haven't laughed that hard in quite a while.

Cut him some slack though, Let's not forget to mention that 
1. He is a child of rape 
2. He is a jerk 
3. He was raised by Assasins  
4. He is kind of like Jason Todd... and Bruce hates mistakes, much less repeating them.  
5. Plus Dick is just a better Father

"@Jackiet: Maybe he dosen't think Damian is his son as far as I know the DNA test still haven't been revealed.Though I could be wrong "

I don't know, Jason how do you feel about it?

he certainly doesn't deserve the father of year award

Well, as it turned in the Epilogue episode of JLU, he did a good job being Terry's "old man" after Warren McGinnis was killed.
 
Bruce Wayne: You're a stubborn piece of work - you know that?
Terry McGinnis: Just like my old man...

Any person who would intentionally put his children in situations where they could be brutally murdered by a psychopath on a daily basis is an awful father 

hahah maybe he's still mourning over not being a bachelor anymore.

With what we have scene from Batman & Robin #1 and 2 is that Batman does refer him to his son but does not respect him because he is not at the same  respect level that Dick, and Tim give him. Damian is not good socially but While working with Dick as batman he made better strides than so far he was with his father. with how im guessing the series is going they will fight most of the time, have a story that brings them more together but next story goes back to the old status quo.

He ls letting him run around in his underwear and  jump off tall buildings, when all these football stars won't even let their kids play football. Also remember how he said to drake during Knightfall "your only back up"

A year and a reboot later this issue has finally been tackled in the first arc of the Batman and Robin series.

Yeah Batman may be many things but a good father he really isn't.

Of course he's a bad father but to be fair, Damian is a bad son.

Bruce is not a bad father.....Okay,he is.

Bruce is a bad father. He is hard with Damian, and he doesn't trust him. He is always comparing him with the other robins, and that hurts Damian's feelings and confidence, because when bruce does that, Dami thinks he isn't good enough for being robin, and always is trying to gain the others approval and looking for attention (maybe doing somethings that aren't exactly correct). If Bruce just accepts him the way he is, damian will grow up as a much better person. He's only a kid, and Bruce should understand that.

I think he's trying, but it's kinda hard to be a good father when you've never had an example of a father (good or bad).

Bruce is a bad father, in both a real world and super hero world sense. He wasn't a good father to Dick or Jason either. I don't mention Tim because his father was alive for most of his time as Robin. And then I wouldn't say he started to look at Bruce as a father until later. In Bruce's defense though, Damian is also an awful son who doesn't show much respect. Then there's the fact that i'm sure Damian wishes it was Dick he was fighting beside instead of Bruce, as Dick's someone he's grown used to and respects and who then respects him in turn. Bruce can't relate to Damian and this leads to Damian feeling inferior, not only to Bruce but to his older brothers as well. As I said before, this whole deal of him challenging the others could've been avoided if Bruce spent some real time getting to know the boy. But back to defending Bruce, Damian's a product of rape by a woman Bruce is no longer in love with. Really seeing Damain's probably like a slap in the face every single day. Really both are to blame for the way things are between them, but its Bruce's responsibility as the adult to confront the situation.
