When I told you that if Gotham no longer needed Batman we could be together, I meant it. But now I’m sure that the day won’t come when you no longer need Batman.
Bruce doesn’t seem on board with two people rocking the cowl at once. I like that Damian, who initially challenged Dick’s right to the mantle even when Bruce was thought dead, is the one to dismiss his father’s hesitation in this panel: “We need all the Batmen we can get, Father.”
(Batman and Robin #16)
And that dismissal was what lead Bruce to the idea of Batman Incorporated.
