In Frank Miller's Batman: Year One series, for example, it's explicitly stated that Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City aged 25 after spending 12 years overseas. Just like Batman: Year One takes place over the course of 12 months, it can be deduced that Bruce Wayne was approximately 26 years old when he became Batman.
Year One-It establishes that Bruce became Batman at 25. Year Two-Reaper arc with Bruce being 26. Year Three-Bruce Wayne at age 27 adopts Dick Grayson(age 12). Year Nine-Robin becomes Nightwing(age 19) and Bruce adopts Jason Todd(age 13).
Bruce Wayne celebrates his 30th birthday at the end of Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight takes place about a year after that. So, he's approximately 31 in that film.
The series The Batman begins in Batman's third year. In the graphic novel BATMAN: YEAR ONE, by Frank Miller & David Mazzucchelli, Bruce Wayne is 26 years old when he debuts as Batman. If this timeline holds for The Batman then Bruce is 28 or 29 at the beginning of the series.
So assuming he hangs his boots up and assuming he's not irradiated, we would estimate that he'll live to at least age 90, which is our forecast for average life expectancy. However, he could also easily live to 95 based on the fact that he's smart, fit and wealthy and at some point likely to meet the 'right woman'.
In most Batman adaptations, Bruce leaves Gotham city at 18 and returns as Batman around the age of 25. This would make Joker over 50 when Bruce returns, which is a little old for a chaos-causing crime boss.
Bruce is 29 by the end of the series, since by the time of the season 4 episode "A Dark Knight: That's Entertainment", Bruce celebrates his 18th birthday, and since the season 5 episode "They Did What?" takes place over a year later, making Bruce 19, plus the ten year time jump makes him 29 by the time of "The ...
Finally, the film itself gives some concrete info as to Bruce's age, as he celebrates his 30th birthday at Wayne Manor near the end, making Bale very age appropriate casting. 2008's The Dark Knight takes place one year after Batman Begins, so that would make Bale 34 playing 31.
The Joker's age changes depending on the version of the character – for example, in Batman: The Animated Series, he's 44 years old, but in some stories in the comics, he has been portrayed as being in his late 50's, so it's not surprising that the movie went for a younger portrayal.
Probably the most physically-suited actor to date to play Batman/Bruce Wayne, Ben Affleck (age 43 when he first portrayed Batman) is the oldest to portray the character.
In a recent tweet responding to one of his followers, Gunn explained his own sayings and what they mean: "Yeah but people are speculating about both ages. All I ever said was Superman was younger than in his forties and Batman MIGHT be a couple of years older than Superman."
Batman: Year Two was at the time the sequel to the critcal acclaimed graphic novel Batman: Year One by Frank Miller. Before being put as non-canon after the events of Zero Hour.
However, in the tie-in novel, 'Gotham: Dawn of Darkness', his age is given at 14 in season 1, which would put him at around 17 in season 4. Confusing the issue further is the age given for Selina Kyle (Camren Bicondova). Bruce is described as 'barely younger' than Selina, who is 13 in season 1 and 15 in season 2.
at 30, Batman finds 9-year old Dick Grayson after his parents die in the circus and takes him in. Dick becomes Robin at 12 while Batman is 32. Jason dies by the Joker at 17, Dick at 20 returns to try to become Robin again but is unhappy and quits.
Later, Arthur goes to Arkham State Hospital and steals his mother's records, and finds out that he was in fact adopted, and that Thomas Wayne is not his father and that Penny is not his true mother.
The psychopathology Arthur exhibits is unclear, preventing diagnosis of psychotic disorder or schizophrenia; the unusual combination of symptoms suggests a complex mix of features of certain personality traits, namely psychopathy and narcissism (he meets DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder).
This movie is nearly unwatchable in 2023, the action scenes are subpar, the characters are not comic book accurate, the movie is just very 80s in a bad way. Also, I almost died laughing from the terrible cgi bat sillehoute in the opening scene. I understand for it's fine it was ground breaking.
Like in the regular DCU, the Dark Knight in Batman: Year 100 debuted in 1939, the same year he debuted in the real world. Following that timeline, Bruce Wayne should be over 130 years old, seeing as how he became Batman around his early 30s.
Batman Forever was released on June 16, 1995, to mixed reviews from critics, who praised its performances (particularly Kilmer, Carrey, and Jones), visuals, action sequences, and soundtrack, but criticized its screenplay and tonal departure from previous films.
