It's no fun dying twice -- or so he'd been told.
Damian knows the thing Gotham needs from Robin is Richard Grayson, and by the way Bruce reacts when a villain is on the loose, it's clear that he can't be trusted to live up to those standards.
Maybe it's the anger, or rebellion -- whatever it is, it's driving Damian off the deep end. He'd do just about anything to prove that he, of all people, can live up to his brother's legacy.
What he doesn't realize is that this isn't a matter of trust or capability; it's a sick, twisted game that Bruce knows Damian will never be ready to play.

Or: Damian is a friggen brat and doesn't hide it but we love him anyways.
