Batman Question

How old is Batman in the comics?

In Batman Year One Bruce Wayne is said to be 25. He met Robin (Dick Grayson, 12 years old) in his second or third year as Batman. He must have been about 27-28 back then.

Robin becomes Nightwing when he is 18 years old. Batman must have been 33-34 years old then.

He trains Jason todd (Robin II) for six months, and he dies approximatly in the same year. So batman must have been 34-35 then. (Note that he has been at this point already 10 years on the job, but in No Man's Land they say he's been 10 years Batman at that point, which is impossible)

He meets Tim Drake and trains him aproximatly the next year, so he must have been 36 at that point.

Now he joins the JLA, the whole Knightfall Saga and all, en let's just pretend all that only lasted for a year, he must have been 37 then.

Then comes No Man's Land, which last exactly One Year. He's 38.

Then it's Bruce Wayne Murder, Hush, End of JLA until Infinite Crisis. Let's say that lasted another year months. 39 years old

Then comes 52, and ofcourse One Year Later. 40 Years old.

And I'm willing to say that until Final Crisis, all that has been six months. So he's 40,5.

P.S. I think that Tim Drake's about 16,5 or 17,5.


What do you think? Am I right? Am I wrong?

I'm guesing that he is 35-36 right now.He started when he was 26 and it is always said that he's been at it for over or under a decade, so i think that's correct(I only try because i'm usually trying to figure out scarecrows current age, which may be 42-43)

You're gonna get a headache thinking about this. The recons, the crisis, the writers that ignore continuity...But the last i check he was 39 years old. I read it somewhere....This is not helpful at all, is it?

Tim Drake was 9 when he first met Batman; so, going by your assumption that Bruce is 36 when he meets and trains Tim, Tim can only be 13.5 or 14 when Bruce is 40.5
