Batman has trained many young heroes as Robin, and while they have all been impressive on their own, DC just confirmed that one stands above the others in terms of power: Damian Wayne is the most powerful Robin.
If Grayson is the humanization of Batman, and Drake is the idealization of Batman, then Jason represents the perversion of Batman.
