*Ages of this post based on information from Jason and Tim's original runs in the 80s, as im still in the process of reading the comics and I respect original runs more anyway

Jason was 12 (pre-crisis, not contradicted) when Bruce adopted him at some point after Dick left, and Dick had left Wayne Manor for about 2 years by the time Jason died (Batman #436) making Jason 14 at death, to turn 15 that year if his birthday is August 16th

Tim is 13 when he introduces himself after Jason's death (Batman #441)

They have like, a 1-2 year age difference

Jason returns to life 6 months after his death, spends 1 year in the hospital, then 1 year on the streets before someone recognizes him as Robin, then 1 year with the league of assassin's before being thrown into the pit (Batman Annual #25)

A total of 3 years with Jason running on just instinct and muscle memory before being healed by the pit

Therefore, Jason, while physically older, is largely missing 3 years of his life

Jason is younger than Tim

Thank you coming to my ted talk

(Dont take this seriously please bcksbdjsnks)

#tim drake #jason todd #red hood #dc comics #batman comics #sometimes i see posts saying jason attacked a kid when referring to the titans tower attack on tim #jason is very much still just 1-2 years older than tim #at the absolute barest and most unreasonable minimum tim is a 16 yr getting attacked by an 18yr #as jason was 18 when put in the pit. im gonna take a wild guess here and say he spent awhile training and planning instead of immediately #starting the red hood arc #so for fun i decided to take the age situation to its extreme and say jason is younger lol #ever since jason attacked. Tim has been in a semi time loop to be 17 for the rest of his life #and is just getting younger than jason instead of aging. this is so sad #im like 100% “jason is younger than tim” has been said before by others its just so fun to me.#and i like taking a million pictures for reference whike reading comics and then getting to use those references #comic reference #OR. jason could've been 13 going on 14 when he died. which is so devastating to think about i choose not to #but it Is a possibility #timelines are so hard to think of without exact dates
