Damian: Son of Batman is a strange comic. Despite ostensibly being a sort of "What If?" extension of Grant Morrison's Batman run, it doesn't mesh with Morrison's work in terms of continuity or in Damian's characterization. The only way this story makes any sort of sense is if you ignore everything that happened after the initial Batman & Son storyline. There's no Doctor Hurt or Black Glove, no Batman Incorporated or Leviathan, and Damian is still as wooden a character as he was in the beginning. Pretending that this book was published in 2007 gives it more context to operate from, but it still doesn't explain why you'd want to read such a story now.
Rather than picking up where a "Damian becomes Batman" story would logically begin, with Damian surviving the events of Batman Incorporated #8 and Batman dying in his place, writer/artist Andy Kubert weaves a completely isolated tale where Damian is a teenage Robin alongside a Batman whose identity is unclear up through the end of this issue. Batman's surprisingly underwhelming death provides the spark for Damian to assume the mantle himself. But as we saw in Batman #666 all those years ago, he has a few fundamental weaknesses that make him a very poor fit for the mantle.
