And you say you're batman....  Heh, what can I say I have been up for the last 5 nights battling an army of my rogues gallery and I missed one important clue. If only I had Robin. ROBIN, NOOOOOOO! Just kidding. I did the Batman thing as a tease from so many things where Batman wins by saying I'm Batman. I could not pass up the chance to do it too. |

ok here is an odd question that just struck me...
What is Bruce's current age?
What we know...
Started his Batman career at 28.
In the Year One story line there is no Robin so we can assume at least one year passed before Dick shows up.
Dick started as Robin at age 12.
Dicks current estimated age is 20 something.
Tim started as Robin at age 14 or so...

Tim started as Robin at age 14 or so... Interesting question, I think he is mid 30's now (or was, remember DC just rebooted). However, the reason it is interesting is that in one of the canon issues one of the Bat-family made mention that Batman never seems to age or something like that (they were not saying it because he was not aging). |

However, the reason it is interesting is that in one of the canon issues one of the Bat-family made mention that Batman never seems to age or something like that (they were not saying it because he was not aging). going by Dicks age (as robin and current) that would put Bats near or in his 40s. Keep in mind Dick's aging process retarded shortly after the introduction of Tim. Tim is still listed as a teen but it is apparent from his storyline that he has graduated HS so he is 18 or 19 at this point. (add another 4 years minimum to both Dick's and Bruce's ages.) |

I did not say the math made sense. Just telling you what they have it at in the comics. As far as I can tell they did not take him out of his early 30's |

But math wise it should be his mid 40s going by Dicks current apparent age. |

Guess they hope no reader notices. |

People coin terms for everything. Wither or not they're fully accepted is something else. I mean technically the little plastic bits on the end of your shoelaces are Aglets. The 'aroma' of fresh rain hitting grass is called "Petrichor". Having trouble getting out of bed in the morning is called Dysania, etc etc etc. lol. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xJQyj8dSCg&list=TLnuge4CrXMF86-20rHRAHk_oyeFTAPKzq |
