Super Sons Special is a ��. Sending in my last page today. Woot!
He looks a little young but, if my nephew is any indicator, he could still pass for someone who's just turning 14 (which...yeah, according to his book, it was a very recent birthday). I actually like that he's kind of a runt. Him being smaller than the rest of the Batfam is actually something I'd have stick even when he's an adult. Makes for a more agile fighter lol

I actually have an incredible dislike for Damian being 14 (and I had just as much of a problem with Damian being 13 at the start of Rebirth). Publishers should never state the exact of age of a character because it cements that character at a particular point in time and forces a set of unreasonable expectations on how that character should be depicted thus disallowing flexibility in the interpretation of said character.
It's one thing to say Damian is 14 and another to say he's a "teen." 14 sets the expectation for him to look 14 at all times, but what exactly does 14 even look like? Instead, simply saying he's a teen and leaving it at that actually allows for some consistency in his artistic depictions because there's at least some consensus among artists about what a teen looks like, but not what 14 looks like.
It's why I ignore "canon" ages and instead focus on what point in their life they are at.
As Blue said, Damian is chronically on the small side and that's been one of his most consistent traits. Whether he's 10 or 14, he would, or at least should, not look like his age.

For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
I'm still amazed that we never got this. And I'm pissed that we probably never will
