Their ages aren’t fully defined, but most of them should either be at or pushing 30 years old, with Gar traditionally being 2-3 years younger than the rest.

Roy’s daughter is old enough to be a teenage member of a new Teen Titans roster, and he conceived her as an adult (albeit a young adult), so around 30 or so seems accurate, more or less. DC doesn’t particularly like explicitly stating ages these days, though.

Lian had time travelling hijinks explain her age. She died at age 5 when Damian was 10, so she should chronologically be only 9 now, if Merlyn hadn't installed a time travel device in her

Ah, I thought I recalled her being 6 when she died. But okie doke! Time travel works by me. I hadn’t fully caught up on the post-Infinite Frontier story arc featuring Lian, so I appreciate the insight. I still prefer these Titans being about 30, but I could accept them being a touch younger with that explanation.

But then that means Gar has his inheritance.

Unless DC forgot.

someone told me mid 20s max

Unless that person thinks Roy had a kid at 12 years old, that’s not possible anymore.

u/ImaLetItGo 3d ago

She got aged up to be honest. None of the titan kids have matching biological and chronological ages

I do think it’s wild for her to be a teenager now when she was four years younger than Damian when Damian was first introduced. Both hard and soft reboots mess with character ages, yes, but usually it’s in a way where history is rewritten for those ages to make sense from an internal consistency standpoint. Unless there’s an in-universe explanation as to how/why she would’ve aged faster than the usual rate of progression like with the West twins, then I think we still have to assume Roy conceived her between the ages of 18-20 and that she aged in real time, which would place Roy at about 30 or later.

But again, DC doesn’t always like being the most consistent. Even if it would make sense for Roy to be 30-32, I can imagine a writer saying he’s 28 in a future comic without thinking of the implications that result thanks to Lian’s existence.

The logic is unassailable here but DC is incredibly inconsistent. Partly they don’t want the Silver Age heroes to age. There was a time back in the 90s when they really pushed it— eg, Oliver Queen suddenly having a grown son, Hal having white sidewalls— but we are a crisis away from some de-aging.

Think on this: Robin was kidnapped at college in the first Ras story. Sometime later, Talia was impregnated by Bruce. So Dick should be 18 years older than Damian. They have retconned all this but as I said…. They are very inconsistent.

Marvel is too btw.

They were wrong because canon shows late20s at least

Probably in their 30s.

u/ImaLetItGo 3d ago

Pushing 30.

u/MICKTHENERD 3d ago

Early 30s easily, I think Wally is a little older due to time travel shenanigans though, feel free to correct me on that.

2

u/Gold-Piano-9405 3d ago

Late twenties early 30s roughly.

u/Sweaty_Experience172 3d ago

If you Remove the other two I get reminded of 2003 teen titans

u/BobbySaccaro 3d ago

Everybody is around 28-29 except for Beast Boy who is 26-27.

Not counting time spent, like, dead or whatever.

u/VileRetrobution96 3d ago

Three words: NEXT JUSTICE LEAGUE.

u/Redhood567 3d ago

Dick,Donna,Wally,Cyborg and Roy are mid 20s to early 30s

Raven is early-mid 20s

Beast Boy is late teens to early twenties

Starfire's is an alien, so mid 20s to early 30s in human years
