#tho marv wolfman gave a lot of contradicting info for dick--which would require a separate post

[batbaffle]

sources under the cut since there's actually a lot on jason's age:

tim says he's 13 in a lonely place of dying (his intro), so that's straightforward.

now for jason, his age wasn't technically stated in any panels, but they established that he was 12 in the q&a section

this is further supported by character bios saying jason was 9 when he met batman, and the story with his intro was said to take place 3 years in the past (so 9 + 3 = 12).

if you'd prefer some evidence from within the story itself, jason says he's in 7th grade (7th graders are typically 12-13)

aaaaaand if you do the math on this imaginary gravestone, he's 12 (1974 - 1986).

i'm just gonna assume that jason would've also turned 13 by a lonely place of dying if he were alive, since i don't see any reason to think tim was meant to be older than jason. several months passed between jason's death and tim's intro after all.

#batman #jason todd #tim drake #dick is supposed to be about 10 years older than them btw #tho marv wolfman gave a lot of contradicting info for dick--which would require a separate post #there's more angst with tim and jay being the same age imo. but since they retconned jason to be 15 when he died..... #i just go with him being 2 years older than tim :/ #aaaand i keep jason's original age gap with dick #(i prefer to keep the oldest given age differences when possible. like barbara being at least 7 years older than dick) #dc 571 #b annual 12 #b 441
