#I am fine saying Beryl is still 17 and inside a pub

[zahri-melitor]

How old do you think Tim Drake, Damian, and Beryl are in Batman Incorporated? (I'm just asking for fic research purposes)

I mean first of all, which version of Batman Incorporated?

Batman Incorporated 2011 period is pretty clear in that Beryl is 17-18, Tim is 17 and Damian is 10. I'd have to reread Knight and Squire to get the exact references, but the impression I got from it had Beryl as very much implied to be doing her A-Levels during it and that the village expected Cyril to pay for her to go to university.

Batman Incorporated 2012 is very much the direct sequel to the pre-Flashpoint story. The ages might have shifted a little, but I would still pitch Beryl as 18, Tim as 16-17, and Damian as 10-11. That's the thing - Cyril dying derails all of Beryl's future plans right as she becomes an adult.

Batman Incorporated 2022 I have not read yet, but Beryl's still only in her early 20s here if she's matching her timeline to everyone else's.

#I am fine saying Beryl is still 17 and inside a pub#during Knight and Squire#because it's a BRITISH pub in a story written by Brits#that's just normal behaviour and in that particular pub she could probably even get served a drink with a wink#but in terms of selling it to American audiences you might insist she's turned 18 just to chill people out a bit – @zahri-melitor

I concur, I didn’t register that she was in a pub as being anything unusual or even remember it till you mentioned it.

And yes she probably could, with a winking bartender, order a drink herself at seventeen. But if she were in a pub together with an adult who ordered a drink for her alongside a meal, that would be perfectly legal (and quite normal behaviour).
