as the note he left for batman which bruce found in batman and robin #18 "mother may have given me life but you taught me how to live it", or something quite close to that, over the course of his time in comics he moved from mindless assassin who killed whoever he was told to, to someone who values the people around him and grew to understand the reasons for being a hero and took on the role of robin with truly the best intentions to carry on that legacy to the best of his abilities. i call that good character progression in any story and for comics that level of development is beyond incredible.
