Well, he's not a baby, IMO, but I don't much weight behind this creative decision, either. DC has loved making heroes behave immorally, even murderously for some time. Out right heel-turns, even, are not new. There seems to always be a hero or two falling to the darkside now, and I do not like it at all. Does a great deal of damage to heroes, IMO. Of course, most won't stay bad, but that just makes it more meaningless. Also see retcons where brainwashing or similar is applied.
Obviously, dark and gritty has been in style for a while, but I'm not sure when the-hero-goes-bad plot (for more than one-off) became normalized and routine. Hal Jordan turned bad, but that was intended to stick. I mean in sort of the same sense where it's planned (or at least kept open as a possibility) that the character will returned to herodom later when the storyline is played out. Much the way character deaths happen now. Cass Cain did it, so it's not even new for Bats.
I don't really care about how other characters in DC universe become or not become bad :/ I want who I like keeps in a health side :/ even he has not being health in the good side two, but still better than go back to the League :/
In my heartcanon he is still a baby '^-^)/
But even if he is not a baby, and if he is 14 instead of 13, still too young to be throwed in the evil hole.
Yeah the heel turn is nothing new and Damian is too young to be anything but batman's sidekick. The TT's heel turn is even more reason why he needs to be more under Bruce. Not Dick or anyone else.
Bruce is his parent. Bruce is so into collecting and parenting other peoples kids about time he focused on his own kid who really needs his guidance right now.
It so sad that Bruce made a vow not to let any kid down but he's let his own kid[s] down. Time to reevaluate what you are doing Brucie
Damain being Magistrate or this 01 guy fits with the character arc they have had him on for this past year. In a world state where he’s not going to be Batman and Tim is forever Robin, they had to find a way to write him out of those roles.
Whelp. The new TT put me in such a bad mood that I'm actually reading DCeased to feel better XD

I don't know what has me more pissed. That Damian managed to make Jon give up on him with just a letter. Or that we never find out what the letter said. Either way, the next time I tell myself I'm not gonna read something, I'm gonna listen.
With the way things are heading in teen titans, Damian's coming back but under a ~mysterious~ disguise.
december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
My loyalty to the Titans name, and to Damian, keeps me coming back against my better judgement. I can't help myself lol. The only Titans run that was so bad that I dropped it and never looked back was the New 52 run.
And now that the real Titans are about to make a return, I'm hoping things start changing for the better. Roundhouse is still alive so things won't be getting too much better. But hopefully I can get some enjoyment like I was starting to before Djinn's arc ended.
