* CallBack: The arc is about Damian grappling with his past being raised as an assassin. Dick helps him get over it at least partially by reminding him of their time as Batman and Robin.
* ChildrenForcedToKill: Damian remembers his past, being trained to hurt people remorselessly, and wonders if it's possible to do enough good to make up for the pain and fear he's caused. Dick asserts that his young age when this happened means it wasn't his fault, but Damian insists he still did those things.
* HumansAreFlawed: Dick argues that all humans, even good ones, do bad things and make mistakes. The part that matters isn't what Damian did with the League of Assassins, but that he chose to follow a different path once he realized that he had done the wrong thing rather than choosing to double down.

While facing a team of Ra's al-Ghul's assassins, Damian gets an unpleasant reminder about his past.
!!These episodes include examples of the following tropes:
* ArrowCatch: A variant; when Bruce disturbs Damian while he's throwing blades at a training mannequin, Damian accidentally throws the blade at him. Bruce catches it midair.
* BigBrotherMentor: Damian can't bring himself to talk to his father about what the assassin said. However, on encouragement from Bruce, he calls his adoptive older brother, Dick.
* BigShutUp: In Damian's usual SesquipedalianLoquaciousness way, he yells at the assassin to stop talking.
* CallBack: The arc is about Damian grappling with his past being raised as an assassin.
* IAmAMonster: Even though he doesn't admit it to the man, Damian feels very upset by the assassin's taunts that he's really no different than the TykeBomb raised in their company. When Bruce asks what the man said, Damian answered that he didn't say anything that was a lie while looking unhappily at his reflection in the blades.
* PercussiveTherapy: Damian's initial method for getting over the evening's events is throwing blades at a dummy. He's so focused on what he's doing that he doesn't hear Bruce come in.
* TheyStillBelongToUsLecture: The assassin Robin catches taunts him about how he's still one of them, even if he now wears the Bat-insignia rather than that of the assassins.
