I remember reading that he and Alfred left Gotham to begin his training at around 12-13 yrs old, with Al returning periodically to look after the manor and Bruce's affairs. It was when Bruce was about 17-19 that he was on his own. Then he becomes Batman between 20-22 yrs old, with nearly, or over, 10 yrs of various kinds of training under his belt.

@ScooterinAB 5 лет назад

This is consistent with Batman being both the smartest and strongest living man, capable of doing all the dumb shit he does in the comics like dodge bullets and be stronger than one human being could be. He gets that knowledge in 2-4 years because Batman is a superhero and more than mortal.

Yeah, I would change it to basically starting at around 13ish and becoming Batman around 21-25ish.

@MrBranh0913 6 лет назад

Batman had to have been born in the early 60s. Since if the animated series is canonically in 1992. The main reason being is the Robin issue. Bruce Wayne clearly had been Batman a few years before the start of the series, since he adopted Dick Grayson when he was around 7-10. Dick Gray is at least 17 or 18 by the start of the animated series since he's in college. So this means that at minimum he was Batman 7 to 10 years before the start of the series. Hence he had to start his career around 1983 to 1986. Batman is clearly in his 30s during much of the animated series, and its heavily implied he's at least mid career at this point. Outside of Mask of the Phantasm we get very few accounts of early Batman adventures in this universe

@dcauwatchtower 6 лет назад

You’re right about Batman starting his career in the early 80s, but he adopted Dick only a couple years into being Batman. We’ll be covering this portion of the Batman timeline in future videos!

@prinzessinugk1279 5 лет назад

One explanation that suits everything: It's Flash's fault. He just messed up the timeline (again) and now people have ominous ages like 55-58. This also explaines what's the deal with the Batsuit or where the DCAU Titans have gone. Just sayin'.

The League makes jabs at Bruce's age in Justice League and JLU several times... Pretty sure he would be nearing 40 here. Last episode of JLU, superman says batman is getting "soft in your old age". Look at the flashbacks of "robins reckoning"; we have a young Bruce, but still not as young as he is in flashbacks of "Mask of the Phantasm" and that was around 5- 7 years before the actual events of "Robins Reckoning"... so how much early was the flashbacks of MOTP?

@SeasideDetective2 3 года назад

Oh, but I think these people DO think about it. The people behind Batman always find little ways to mess with our heads. For example, if you freeze-frame the scene that introduces Vicki Vale in the 1989 movie, you'll notice that the newspaper Kim Basinger is reading mentions "President Truman" - who, of course, stopped being President in January 1953. This despite the fact that we also see color televisions in the movie (color TV not being introduced until 1954 at the earliest) and hear Prince music on the Joker's boombox (Prince's first album being released in 1979). Of course, my reasoning has always been that Vale is inside a newspaper office, and that what she's reading is a back issue.

So Bruce Wayne left Gotham and started his training to become Batman at 18 in 1980, that works I suppose. Given, that the The Grey Ghost episode of BTAS showed the cover of a magazine with date of October 19, 1992, that means that Bruce was born in 1962, so he was 30 in 1992. Wow, so that make Bruce 15 years older than me! I assumed he was in his 30's in the 90's considering he was a kid in the late 60's to early 70's. This makes a lot of sense.

Yet, at the same time, I can't imagine him being younger than 30 at the beginning of BTAS. Either way, I enjoyed the video.

@cbennett3228 Год назад

Bruce says in one of the Batman Beyond episodes that he was eight when his parents died, he flat out says it, which adds to the JL and JLU episodes. So any other media that says that he's any other age, should be incorrect, because he says it at least three times on screen.

I’m satisfied for sure!!! Thank you! This is my number 1 question of the DCAU and finally it’s answered, I had about the same guess but damn, we saw Bruce throughout almost every decade in his life!

I always assumed. 35 when Batman the Animated Series starts 38 for the new adventures 40 for Justice League. 60 at the start of Batman Beyond 80 during.

What if the Darkseid invasion that took place in superman gave earth new tech, creating a technological revolution. Which explains why between the end of The new Batman Adventures and the beginning of Batman and Harley Quinn, they went from Black and white TVs and Giant computers, to smartphones and hollograms. Then the Near-Apocalypse of '09 happened, bumping it back to what we see in Batman Beyond

@rikudoubapeck 6 лет назад

I'd say 35 in his first appearance and throughout the 3 seasons of BTAS. Then 38-39 in The new batman adventures. 40 - 45 in JL and JLU. 85 in beyond and early 100s in epilogue when Terry is in his mid 30s I'd say.

@rikudoubapeck 6 лет назад

Yh. I seen an image a couple times of DCAU Bruce throughout the DCAU from childhood to elderly citizen. They always make him too young imo. It annoys me when they do for some reason. Like DC heroes are are quite up there in age in general I've found or at least imagined. I like that they are older. I also imagine Clark as being maybe 7 years younger than Bruce. I'd say when they meet in the DCAU I have Clark at around 31-32 when Bruce is 38-39

i love this channel and i love rewatching it, if theyre running out of ideas maybe they can start doing history videos of characters in the dceu similar to how the amagi does their videos? but not as boring as the amagi. they can cover multiple characters this way and id love to lowkey watch a video hours long talking about bruce's adventures from the beggining to the end and then all the other heroes and villains as well. hope you guys come up w more video ideas cuz id love to see more

Hey, I just had a thought. In TNAofBatman, Bruce Wayne didn't RetCon back to 26-28yrs. old? In 1999, your video says he was 35-37 yrs. old Just a thought. But I just re-watched your video and your DCAU timeline fits with his Batman Beyond age. So I recant. This video best answers his age in the Continuum of the DCAU. 👍

@margaretdaly7302 6 лет назад

Here’s what I think: In Batman: The Animated Series he is 25-35 years old. In The New Batman Adventures he is 35-39. In Justice League he is 39-45. At the very start of Batman Beyond he is 56. In the TV Show he’s 70-75. At the end of the show he’s 80. Oh, and int just scene where Tim Drake is tortured by The Joker, I believe Bruce was 45. Also, great video!

@LiquidSSSnake 6 лет назад

I came up with the same conclusion over ten years ago, the clues are all in Batman Beyond. I think Bruce retired about now-ish when he pulled the gun, and Terry will be born in the next few years.

@Kpengie 6 лет назад

Keep in mind that in the Animated Series, he's already had a Robin for at least 8 years, meaning that it's impossible for him to be 25-30 based on logic. He would likely be at least 32 or so.

@margaretdaly7302 6 лет назад

Kpengie p. Could’ve changed it in the animated series, let’s assume he had Dick for 2 years in TAS timeline, then Bat-Girl was there at the same time as Dick and then Tim came in probably a year after Dick punched Batman.

@thedredayshow9246 6 лет назад

Wait! If Batman TAS is set in 1992, why the hell does Gotham and it's citizens look like they live in the 1930's to 1950's era?

@dcauwatchtower 6 лет назад

Style. Art. I mean, it’s not OUR 1992. Do you remember Batman running around? I don’t. But hey, I was 1.

@LiquidSSSnake 6 лет назад

It was an indistinct era used for style, when Superman TAS came along they matched Gotham to look more modern and to look like the world Superman lived in. In Gotham the TV show they deliberately did this also. For example, the cars are not any newer than the 80's, but they have cell phones.

@YoungCrazyKebeko 6 лет назад

Great video! Keep up the good work! There is another subject that I believe would be important to ask ourselves. I was always wondering for how many years each Robin was working with Batman. I don't know if the animated series and the Arkham games would have different results, but playing the Arkham games it would seem like during the events of Arkham Asylum, we are already at the point that Robin is Tim Drake, while Batman still looks in his mid 30s (or his prime). That would mean that each Robin has not been with the title for very long, but on the other hand we usually see each Robin starting pretty young as a Robin, and getting visibly older before they stop or "die".

@girgrumpyorange1873 6 лет назад

As someone else who grew up watching this animated universe, I always assumed that Batman & others would work multiple cases at a time but individual episodes focus on particular cases. Therefore, the passage of real time doesn't affect the passage of time in the animated universe properly/synchronously. *several epsiodes would take place in overlapping timeframes, so years don't pass at the same rate as it took us to watch them*

@dcauwatchtower 6 лет назад

That is very true! Check out our Vanishing Point show, we did a whole episode on 3 BTAS episodes that likely take place at the same time!

@ChaoticButterfly 5 лет назад

I wouldn't say that each year that passed for us was a year for them. Some episodes cover a week or more of time (Tyger Tyger, for example), some cover less than a day (Harley's Day Out), so it's hard to say exactly how much time passed, unless other dates were posted in the DCAU. In general, he tends to hover around 33. Here's some fun math... figure out Amanda Waller's age in Epilogue... I'd say she looks DAMNED good for how old she likely is.

@dcauwatchtower 5 лет назад

We did a whole episode of our “Vanishing Point” show on Amanda Waller’s age too! And yes, you’re correct, time passing in real-time doesn’t equal time passing within the DCAU, but we never said that’s the case.

@jockonde9661 6 лет назад

DCAU's Bruce Wayne was born in 1960. Here's why: _ In the Mask of Phantasm, which runs in 1993, it is stated that he became Batman 10 years later. In the flash back, he seems at least 20, but less than 25 _Batman Beyond's action does not seem to run from 2039 to 2042. In that case, I think Terry would have turned 18 and go to college, it did'nt happen. So I think he was born in 2023, the shows runs in 2039/40 and he is 16/17. _ Bruce is both mentioned to be "in his 70s" and "80 years old" during Batman Beyond, I think that's because he is 79 first, and then turns 80. So, he was born in 1960. He became Batman at 23, was in his early 30s at the beginning of the Batman TAS.

@dcauwatchtower 6 лет назад

Pretty solid logic. Only real thing I disagree with is the Batman Beyond part, as it does run to at least 2042. Terry is stated to be 16 when he became Batman (we learn this in “Epilogue”) and is said to be 17 a few times throughout the series. Mathematically, yes, of course he continues to age, but we’ll be doing a video on Terry’s age down the road too.

@jockonde9661 6 лет назад

What make you think that Batman beyond run until at least 2042? I've not watched every BB episodes so perhaps I have missed a clue in this regard. In this case Bruce could have been born in 1962. 21 when he become Batman, 29-30 at the beginning of Batman TAS, 31 in the mask of phantasm, 77 in 2039 and 80 in 2042.
