The common notion is that Joker is much older than Wayne, probably stemming from the TV show and the 1989 movie, however it seems like they're the same age.

Joker's age is never directly mentioned in the comic books. He was 34 on the shoot for The Dark Knight

*At the time of the shoot for Batman Begins Bale was 30, making him the youngest actor to play the character in theatrical Batman movies, and making him 4 years younger than his comic book counterpart. It is interesting to note that at the time Clooney described Batman as being a "35 year old guy", whether it was a lucky guess or did DC supplied him with the info on the character is unknown. George Clooney was 36 at the time of the Batman & Robin shoot.At the time of the Batman Forever shoot Val Kilmer was 36.Michael Keaton was at the age of 38 when he was shooting the first Batman.

At the time of the shoot Adam West was 38 and finished up at the age of 40, which would make him 4 years older than the comic book counterpart at the beginning of the series.So in contemporary timeline, Batman is purging crime from Gotham City's streets for 9 years One noticeable difference between the two continuities is that Modern Age I establishes that Bruce debuted as Batman at the age of 25, Year One in particular. Batman #599 states that Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered when Bruce was nine, nearly 25 years ago. This is very much in line with Batman's age established in Modern continuity - 34. Cary Grant was 35 in 1939 when Batman/Bruce Wayne was born creatively. Lets start from the genesis of the characterīob Kane mentioned in the late 1980's that he envisioned Bruce Wayne as being like young Cary Grant ( via BRT). Wayne always had one age at which he stopped aging in the comic book continuity, one age that was given to him to last and be one of his defining physical characteristics. The "contemporary" age of Bruce Wayne is actually relatively easy to pinpoint.
