UPDATED Canon Batfam Ages/Heights/Weights Pre-Reboot
Reblogging AGAIN because it is really useful and I haven’t done so in a long while
(Plus someone reminded me about this post)
Last time had added the 3 Batgirls to the list. Which was a PAIN to compile the info for. Anno can vouch for that. Now there are a few extras at the end.
A reminder that this list is for PRE-REBOOT and is not at all canon for the New 52, which isn’t surprising since everyone’s height varies so extremely between artists these days.
No one seems to really realize all of this unless they look it up all at once, but the size differences between the members of the Bat-family are very surprising.
~~~ PRE-REBOOT ~~~
Bruce Wayne/Batman: 6’ 2”, 210lbs and no one knows what his age is supposed to be anymore. Birthday: February 19th
Dick Grayson/Nightwing: 5’ 10”, 175lbs, and is roughly 25 years old now. Birthday: March 21st
Jason Todd/Red Hood: 6’ 0”, 225lbs, and is roughly 19 years old now. Birthday: August 16th
Tim Drake/Red Robin: 5’ 5” 125lbs, and is roughly 17 years old now. Birthday: July 19th
Damian Wayne/Robin: (4’ 6” / 84lbs) - (5’ 2” / 120lbs) - (5’ 4” / 140lbs), height & weight varies by artist, appearance since creation, and info source. He is roughly 10-11 years old now. Birthday: ???
Barbara Gordon/Batgirl: 5’ 7” 126lbs, and is VERY roughly between Dick and Bruce’s age. Her age was retconned so many times it’s impossible to get an exact age. However, until it became officially inappropriate for underage relationships in recent years, Babs was always quite a few years older than Dick. Birthday: September 23 (according to an OLD DC calender)
Cassandra Cain/Batgirl: 5’ 5” 127lbs, and is roughly 19 years old. Birthday: January 26th (celebrated)
Stephanie Brown/Batgirl: 5’ 5” 129lbs, and is roughly 18-19 years old. Birthday: August 11th (comic first appearance)
The ages/weights/heights are the proper ages according to several official DC reference pages/books prior to the reboot. Who knows what they are after really. I’m not sure DC really knows either. Every time I post this someone pops in to dispute it, but I’m only going off of what DC has officially said even if it doesn’t always make sense. We can all say DC has screwed up plenty over the years.
Alfred Pennyworth: 5’ 10” 160lbs
Talia al Ghul: 5’ 8” 141lbs (comics) and 5’ 6” (BtAS)
Selina Kyle: 5’ 7” 133lbs (comics) and 5’ 6” (BtAS)
James (Jim) Gordon: 6’ 0" 168lbs
Prudence Wood: taller than both Tim and Steph but shorter than Dick, putting her at roughly 5’6”- 5’9”
Tam Fox: Noticeably shorter than Tim, Steph, and Vicki Vale so likely around 5’3”
Sasha (Scarlet): Noticeably about a head shorter than Jason but a bit taller than Damian, so she is in the range of 5’6”
Conclusion?
-Tim is tiny as all hell, and needs to eat. He really is the ‘Baby Bird’. Tim is officially SEVEN inches shorter than Jason, and 100lbs lighter. Both Steph and Cass are his height but weigh more, even if only by a touch.
-Jason is actually taller than Dick, and heavier than Bruce.
-Damian is going to be built like a damned linebacker, and will probably be larger than Bruce in height AND weight. He is only an inch shorter than Tim and is 15lbs heavier, while being 6 years younger. (if of course going off his larger size range I initially recorded last year, and also believable by FutureBatDamian’s size)
