Batman had to have been born in the early 60s. Since if the animated series is canonically in 1992. The main reason being is the Robin issue. Bruce Wayne clearly had been Batman a few years before the start of the series, since he adopted Dick Grayson when he was around 7-10. Dick Gray is at least 17 or 18 by the start of the animated series since he's in college. So this means that at minimum he was Batman 7 to 10 years before the start of the series. Hence he had to start his career around 1983 to 1986. Batman is clearly in his 30s during much of the animated series, and its heavily implied he's at least mid career at this point. Outside of Mask of the Phantasm we get very few accounts of early Batman adventures in this universe

The League makes jabs at Bruce's age in Justice League and JLU several times... Pretty sure he would be nearing 40 here. Last episode of JLU, superman says batman is getting "soft in your old age". Look at the flashbacks of "robins reckoning"; we have a young Bruce, but still not as young as he is in flashbacks of "Mask of the Phantasm" and that was around 5- 7 years before the actual events of "Robins Reckoning"... so how much early was the flashbacks of MOTP?

Honestly, these Character Age History episodes are some of my favourites; it kinda makes me wonder if it's possible to piece together ages for some of the lesser-seen characters like the majority of the Expanded League Roster (Elongated Man, for example, has to be one of the older ones, considering his comment on being "at this longer than you have" to Wally, meaning that he's been active since at least the mid-to-late 1990s, and as such was likely born in the early-to-mid 1970s, if not earlier).

Oh, but I think these people DO think about it. The people behind Batman always find little ways to mess with our heads. For example, if you freeze-frame the scene that introduces Vicki Vale in the 1989 movie, you'll notice that the newspaper Kim Basinger is reading mentions "President Truman" - who, of course, stopped being President in January 1953. This despite the fact that we also see color televisions in the movie (color TV not being introduced until 1954 at the earliest) and hear Prince music on the Joker's boombox (Prince's first album being released in 1979). Of course, my reasoning has always been that Vale is inside a newspaper office, and that what she's reading is a back issue.

So Bruce Wayne left Gotham and started his training to become Batman at 18 in 1980, that works I suppose. Given, that the The Grey Ghost episode of BTAS showed the cover of a magazine with date of October 19, 1992, that means that Bruce was born in 1962, so he was 30 in 1992. Wow, so that make Bruce 15 years older than me! I assumed he was in his 30's in the 90's considering he was a kid in the late 60's to early 70's. This makes a lot of sense.

Therefore, the passage of real time doesn't affect the passage of time in the animated universe properly/synchronously. *several epsiodes would take place in overlapping timeframes, so years don't pass at the same rate as it took us to watch them*

What if the Darkseid invasion that took place in superman gave earth new tech, creating a technological revolution. Which explains why between the end of The new Batman Adventures and the beginning of Batman and Harley Quinn, they went from Black and white TVs and Giant computers, to smartphones and hollograms. Then the Near-Apocalypse of '09 happened, bumping it back to what we see in Batman Beyond

Great video! Keep up the good work! There is another subject that I believe would be important to ask ourselves. I was always wondering for how many years each Robin was working with Batman. I don't know if the animated series and the Arkham games would have different results, but playing the Arkham games it would seem like during the events of Arkham Asylum, we are already at the point that Robin is Tim Drake, while Batman still looks in his mid 30s (or his prime). That would mean that each Robin has not been with the title for very long, but on the other hand we usually see each Robin starting pretty young as a Robin, and getting visibly older before they stop or "die".

A major rule in comic books was that no major superhero could pass age 29, and then in the late 80's changed that no hero could age pass 36, so I know it doesn't make sense but mainly Batman is between 36 and 42 yrs old according to a question I asked and answered Neal Adams, Dennis O'Neal and other key people that have worked on the Dark Knight for years, but as for the animated series i think he is in his late 30's let's say 38 ish..

I'm sorry that I can't quote where I read it, but I once read a Marvel editorial on time and aging in comics and they stated that Daredevil has been 32 years old for his entire comic book run. While Spider-man aged under a decade during the same time going from getting his powers at age 15 (in the 60s) and only aging to his early 20s and stopping. Comic book Tony Stark built his first suit of armour during the vietnam war but he isn't in his 80s in the comics. They had to retcon his origin to "Fix" the inconsistancy. Nailing down an age for a superhero and then trying to force it to be concruent with our own timeline just doesn't work, but it is fun to try. Very well done. Great video. :)

A while back there was a timeline that used the 50 year timeskip, placing Bruce in his late 60's when he quit being Batman. I cannot find the website. I thought it was quite an interesting take on the timeline.

I'd imagine 25 in the Mask of the Phantasm flashbacks 35 during the current time events there late 30s, early 40s during JL and New Adventures 45ish when Tim Drake get fucked up by Joker 60ish when he quits 80ish when he meets Terry 90ish in Epilogue

Here’s what I think: In Batman: The Animated Series he is 25-35 years old. In The New Batman Adventures he is 35-39. In Justice League he is 39-45. At the very start of Batman Beyond he is 56. In the TV Show he’s 70-75. At the end of the show he’s 80. Oh, and int just scene where Tim Drake is tortured by The Joker, I believe Bruce was 45. Also, great video!

I came up with the same conclusion over ten years ago, the clues are all in Batman Beyond. I think Bruce retired about now-ish when he pulled the gun, and Terry will be born in the next few years.

Keep in mind that in the Animated Series, he's already had a Robin for at least 8 years, meaning that it's impossible for him to be 25-30 based on logic. He would likely be at least 32 or so.

Kpengie p. Could’ve changed it in the animated series, let’s assume he had Dick for 2 years in TAS timeline, then Bat-Girl was there at the same time as Dick and then Tim came in probably a year after Dick punched Batman.

I'm gonna say it was around 1962 that Bruce was born. Something about having him turn the square, even 80 years old in "Out of the Past" seems right but maybe that's just me being particular about numbers.
