It'd be interesting to hear what you all say and the reasons behind your choice!
Of all the Robins, who is the most like Batman personality-wise in your opinion?
Really none of them parallel him. Most just compliment his demeanor. I say iron will in Grayson, intelligence in drake, ruthlessness in Todd, and I the least in Damian lol
Damian, kinda the point of the character.
I agree with this. While they all naturally have shades of him incorporated into who they are, having been trained by him and being his sons, I think Damian is the one that is the most like him, which is where their issues stem from. This is a parallel to Bruce and Dick's relationship, in which the two clash over their differences more often than not. Bruce and Damian clash over their similarities.
@childoftheatom: Agreed.
@entropy_aegis: The point of Damian is that he was conditioned to believe he would replace his father, but he never had Bruce's upbringing. He didn't suffer through loss like Bruce did, and never had the same drive that Bruce did because he had everything handed to him on a platter. His growth comes from making his own choices, independent of what his genes or upbringing tell him.

That's his character ARC not the character itself.
@entropy_aegis: His character arc informs his personality and the persona he puts on.
Tim's probably closest, but no one is near Bruce's level of moodiness. Actually, Jason might be the closest in that particular trait.
Damian for me.

Lol. The kid spent the first ten years of his life dedicated full time to training, studying, and killing for being able to beat up his mother in a combat in his birthday for the right to met a father that he didn't even know. Doubt very much that Tomasi is going to change his own story. Damian wants to be Batman, that hadn't change a little bit at saw in Nightwing and the Teen Titans
