I do agree that your fanwank is necessary in regard to the Judson Pierce Blackgate scenario. Lots of food for thought here. First you said Robin arrived in year 3 then you say Dick came along when Bruce had been Batman for 6 years. Honest question, which one is it? My chronology has Robin debut in Year Six. As to reasoning paraphrased from previous section of the site : Unlike DC publishers, I hold to canon a stricter more literal reading of Long Halloween and Dark Victory , both of which detail a later Robin debut.
Furthermore, I view Zero Hour as a soft reboot as opposed to a hard reboot. DC does not, meaning that my timeline is less compressed. DC had Dick as being born somewhere in the to range. I specifically place him as being born in , and debuting as Robin in at age So Dick is right around years-old by the time Flashpoint comes around. I am kinda fascinated by the work you have done here.
The ages of characters is super interesting to me as it gives a kinda microcosm to the time line as a whole. Do you think you could include a page that gives the know birth years of the major characters for each timeline like the unauthorized chronology of the dc universe did before? Hi Trevor, I think an Age Page for each section would be very cool. I have something like this as a footnote in Modern Age Year One, but not for the other sections.

He would return for sequel Batman Returns , also directed by Burton. Like with West's Batman, the Burtonverse doesn't spell out how old Bruce is supposed to be, so the logical thing is to look at Keaton's real-life age.
Oddly enough, Keaton was also 37 when playing Batman for the first time, which makes him 40 in Batman Returns. However, the fact that Batman is treated as a relatively recent development in Gotham during Burton's first film would suggest that Bruce is supposed to be a little younger, perhaps 32 or A tie-in to the legendary Batman: The Animated Series , Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is Batman's only animated theatrical release, featuring regular actor Kevin Conroy voicing the character. Obviously, with a voice role, an actor's real age has no real bearing on the character's age.
That said, Batman Beyond is a sequel show set in the future of the same universe, and official marketing material establishes that Bruce is somewhere in his late 70s to early 80s. This logically puts him in his early to mid 30s during Batman: The Animated Series , and thus Mask of the Phantasm , aside from the flashback portions.
Batman Forever also doesn't firmly establish Bruce's age, perhaps because filmmakers want to avoid him being seen as possibly too old for his job.
Val Kilmer is about eight years younger than Keaton, and was 35 when the sequel released to theaters. That leads to a bit of an age conundrum, since 's Batman Forever is continuing in the same world as the Burton movies, yet Kilmer is 35 six years after Keaton was However, if Keaton's Bruce was intended to be around 32 or 33, that would put actually Kilmer at closer to how old Bruce should be in the Burton timeline.
George Clooney was actually the same age taking over the role, 35, as Kilmer was when he starred in Batman Forever. If the Burtonverse movies are taking place roughly in the same timeframe as their release years, that would mean Bruce should be at least 40 by this point, if not a few years older.
Yet due to the different actors being cast, he's kind of in age stasis, at least as far as appearance goes. He carried guns with him for a short while as the storyline was scrapped very soon. Long before Batman and Robin became a thing, Bob Kane, the creator of Batman, though it would be a good idea to give Bruce Wayne a sidekick and it would be an even better idea for that sidekick to be a kid. But, at the time, the comic book's editor didn't feel like adding another dimension to Batman and thus, Robin was planned for only one appearance.
When the comic book edition featuring Robin was released, fans loved their dynamic so much that Robin then went on to become the main feature. One can't become Batman just by wearing The Dark Knight's iconic suit. Bruce Wayne is rich as hell and that's the reason why he can afford being Batman and has all the perks required to be a vigilante.
A lot of debates from comic reading fans have been based around Batman's exact age because unlike Marvel, DC has shown a tendency to reboot things, including their characters. It's very young, isn't it? That's an age when a person is expected to enjoy his life but Bruce hasn't grown up the easy way. Almost every comic book has shown their superheroes battling through World War 2, with Captain America's origin story being based on it. Batman didn't go right into the mix of the battle, instead, he stayed in Gotham and tried to take on the Nazis who paid a visit to his city.
And yes, he did come in contact with Adolf Hitler, although from afar as he tried to hit him with a couple of tennis balls of all things. In one of the most iconic superhero crossovers, Batman and Wolverine were fused together to form a single character who went by the name of Logan Wayne.
