LITERALLY everyone in Gotham is convinced he's an old man twice divorced father of three but he's barely the legal drinking age. The bats watch people easily twice his age listen to him implicitly and they just KNOW that if they exposed his real age no one would believe them
Thinking about the newer bats (Duke, Cass, Steph, Tim) speculating on Jason's age because he looks like a recently divorced 30 y/o but he's younger than Dick, and he acts like a 50 year old man (he still has a Nokia, out of the loop on Internet and pop culture, primarily listens to dad rock), and after they've exhausted all their guesses Dick breezes in, informs them he's like 24, and then leaves.
The bats then have to come to terms with the fact that Jason NINETEEN when he took over the criminal underground.
#jason todd#dc#It's honestly worse if they DO believe it#I imagine the entirety of Crime Alley would adopt him in a heartbeat#suddenly the Rogues he's been having professional meetings with are calling him “Son” and “champ”#the exception are assassins/mercenaries who trained jim they knew damn well and they bring it up at every available opportunity
