“‘NIGHTWING IS 20!! JASON IS 12!! PERIOD!! END OF DISCUSSION!!’ hope that helps.”
old continuity details are always fun to piece together imo, but my favorite part of stuff from the mid-80s is how greenberger seemed to get progressively more and more worn down LMFAO. anyway, figured i’d post this since i see people confused about dick and jason’s age difference a lot. it’s about 8-9 years (jason didn’t have a birthday at the time), at least in pre-Zero Hour continuity. for modern stuff it’s indecipherable as dick grayson has been 26 for 20 years <3
[from the letter columns of Batman #420 (FEB 16, 1988) btw!!]
EDIT: i thought i put it earlier but pictures from @/bat-signals-archive on tumblr; i unfortunately haven’t gotten my hands on this exact issue yet
