Damian Wayne first appeared in Batman #655, published by DC in 2006. That places it in the Modern Age.
Why this issue matters
Bruce Wayne's biological son with Talia al Ghul was reintroduced into main continuity by Grant Morrison here, having first existed as an unnamed infant in a 1987 story that wasn't considered canon at the time.
