I was just wondering....

If all of the enemies that Batman had fought in the past are old, retired, dead, in prison.

And BOP are to fight the younger generation of Villians like Harley and possiblly the children of Batmans villians. Then wouldn't that make Bruce Wayne an old guy? I mean how far in the future are we in this show exactly?

We need to do some math.

Ok Helena was 16 when her mother died right? So then that means that Batman is 16 years older than when he hooked up with Selina. Then you add another seven years......that's 23 years all together. Now Bruce lost his parents when he was a child at about what 10 years old? He didn't become Batman until his early twenties, I think. Of course we don't exactly know how many years past before he met Catwoman. Then Robin comes in a few years later when his family is killed and he was in his early years. Barbara doesn't show up until much later and I believe she was in College when she became Batgirl. Robin becomes Nightwing and leaves Batman. So one must ask the question how many years was Robin with Batman before he left?

I just lost myself in the equation. I'm not surprised because I suck at math.

Maybe someone else could figure it out.

Bruce Wayne is in his mid-late 40s, in the current timeline (with Helena now being 23 years old).

Selina Kyle didn't look that old in the pilot, and her and Bruce are about the same age.
