Why was Damien Taunting a Baby, yes an ACTUAL BABY (!) to come and fight him at the end?


Just ridiculous, makes no sense...

He's got that reporter woman to take him to where he thinks the final baby is. Yet once he gets there, rather than looking for a little baby in a cot or something to murder, he starts sh-t talking the Nazarene to come out and give him a square go!

What was he possibly thinking? That the baby was going to come waddling out from behind the cloisters or something, like Yoda in the Star Wars prequels I guess, standing upright and give him a fight?

Pure nonsense.

He knew the prophecies said he was to confront the Nazarene. I think he was panicking pure and simple. He was losing his powers and he was almost just killed.
