Ok since no one asked i wanted to explain my Batman age list, since DC is too much of a COWARD to do it themselves i have had to make headcanons that fit 80-ish years of canon history into a sensible rhythm so everyone buckle in!
Bruce Wayne - Late 40's/Early 50's
Starting off strong but theres no way Bruce is anything younger than 45 and that is pushing it, and to be honest this fits w the canon version of whats happening in comics, Bruce is in no way in his physical prime anymore, focusing more on deescalation and team work than direct fights when he can help it, in my mind Bruce was in his physical prime when he was in Scott Snyders run but after Court of Owls, Losing his memory, Death Metal and everything in between he's definitely slowed down physically though he's in no way a slouch right now i just wouldnt call him at the peak of his physical prime, however on the other hand with the years of growth and the fact that alfreds death forced him to come to reckon with being the defacto dad of the Batfamily i think hes ironically in the best mental headspace of his life. I think all this development only makes sense if hes in his late 40's early 50's, any earlier and it feels way too rushed and any later and i dont think it makes sense for him to be this active. The goldilocks zone only works from 45-55ish.
Dick Grayson - Mid to Late 30's
I think it makes sense for the ex-boy wonder to be around 36 in the current timeline mainly because his relationship with bruce was never as clear cut as Father-Son and i think why that was, was because of the age gap between them, Bruce was in his mid twenties taking care of an 11 year old, thats less father son and more brotherly in its relation, so if Bruce s 48ish it makes sense for Dick to be around his mid 30's, plus it works because Nightwings really come into his own right now and i think he's definitely in a prime of his life, so i can see him spending his teenage years as Robin only to switch into Nightwing during his 20's and through all the trials of his 20's (Judas Contract, Death in the Family, Battle for the Cowl) he grows into his own and becomes a more confident sure of himself leader in his mid 30's as Nightwing, i like the idea of him spending his entire 20's settling into his identity instead of right away to be honest. (Side note: In my HC i think he spent his 30th birthday as Ric just because it adds to the melodrama a bit.)
Barbara Gordon - Late 30's
For some reason i always thought of Barbara as older than Dick, that might just because she seems matures but to be honest it just works for me, Barbara might be one of the Batfamily members whos gone through the most. From Batgirl to Oracle (to back to Batgirl again apparently) but i think that history has made her feel like a pillar to the younger heroes in the Batfamily so i think it works if her age shows that, i wouldnt mind her being Mid 30's as well to be honest but a solid 37 just sits right with me for her.
Jason Todd - Mid to Late 20's
Jasons a bit fun because of his death, because if he remained being alive he'd be around his early 30s and closer to Dick in the current timeline but i his death and subsequent lasted quite a while and i think its fair to say he lost around 10 years of his life to that damn clown so when he finally came back he wouldve only been slightly older than Tim Drake. He wouldve been around 17ish when he came from the ground and maybe spent a year or three training to be Red Hood, and i can see his time being a crime lord in gotham to his time in the outlaws(both versions) as enough time for him to reach around 26-27 physically, i think he's in the same phase of his life nightwing was at the same age where hes just trying to figure himself out.
Yeah as mentioned above i think hes just below Jason post lazaruzin and it honestly works, Tim joined Bruces cause around 14 or 15 in my head, not as young as Dick or Jason but more qualified, hes been part of the team as they dealt with No mans Land and Knightfall and also spent time with his version of the Teen Titans and the outsiders, so in my head that leads to a decently competent Red Robin (He is NOT Robin in my book sorry) at around 26 or 27, young enough to have a lot of potential for down the road but old enough that he knows what hes doing.
Stephanie Brown - Mid 20's
This also makes sense with Stephanie and Tim being around the same age and while Stephanie got her start much later than Tim i think her being in her mid 20's gives space for the amount of adventures shes gone with the team, plus shes already a competent vigilante as of right now added with a dash of being an energetic goofball, which just makes me feel her being 25 or 26 as just right.
Cassandra Cain - Early to Mid 20's
I think Cain should be one of the younger ones in the Batfamily, being closer in age to Damian and Duke than Jason or Dick. While she started young i think she only met Batman and the gang when she was around 19ish and given all that shes went through shes certainly no longer a child but shes still young enough that she has so much left unexplored, which makes me think anything from 23 to 26 works well for her.
For me Duke Thomas started off young in the "WE ARE ROBINS" movement but worked his way to Signal throughout a good couple years. While i do think hes underutilized, I think his adventures with the Outsiders and Batman have aged him out of an up and coming vigilante and more towards a young hero with a handle on the vigilante life with stuff left to learn at the ripe old age of 24.
Damian Wayne - Mid Teen's
Only when writing this timeline did i realise i dont consider any of the Batfamily members as teenagers anymore aside from Damian who turned 13 at the beginning of rebirth and went through enough development with his Teen Titans and the Fighting Island that id place him at 16ish, id put him a biiiit older but he seems young enough that he seems like hes only JUST starting to find his way plus we can knock a couple years off considering he died for a bit.
The Rest of the Cast, i dont have a lot of thoughts on but this is what i think their ages are :
Helena Bertenelli - Mid 30's
Jean Paul Valley - Early 30's
Aaaaaaaaand thats my thoughts on the BatFam's official ages, i have thoughts about the rest of DC's heroes as a whole but i think i cant get into that without getting into the myriad of crisis events and this post is long enough as it is.
