How old is Jason suppose to be currently?

How old is Jason suppose to be currently?

Thats not really clear. He is often treated as if he was in his early twenties, but technically he can't be much older than Tim (who is still 16).

I figured he would be at least 21. He is old enough to drink alcohol legally in the U.S. right?

Well, legally, Jason is still dead. So, chances are he's using a fake ID anyway. But 21 would be the legal age.

If Tim is 16 (again), that would make Jason 18-19 years old. But Rebirth/New52 may have bumped Jason's age up a year or two for all I know. And technically, he and Cass are supposed to be within months (or less) of one another as well.

That was pre flash point, the new Cass seems to be Tims age or maybe even a bit younger.

I miss adult Cass. Some fanfic writers made her and Jason half siblings (with Cass being older), which doesn't really make a lot of sense because of their different ethnicities, but it was an interesting dynamic to explore. It's different from the romantic Robin and Batgirl dynamic of Dick/Babs or Tim/Steph.

The real kicker here, is that the two have barely interacted at all.

A number of fanfics have interesting interactions between them that seem like they would fit within comic continuity though.

Shiva was one of the 3 candidates for Jason's biological mother in DitF.

And it is possible that Shiva was originally also only supposed to be half Asian.

Btw. it is kind of strange that they have cast Cass with a fully Asians actress for Birds of Prey, while many of the asian characaters in the TV shows are played by Half Asian actors.

Does anybody know where to find higher resolution version of this?

Hey Aahz, whilst I didn't find a higher resolution of the image sequenced like that, I did find the separate character models in a slightly higher resolution.
They kinda differ in sizes though, sorry. The teen Robin one is much bigger for some reason, and the red hood one seems like it was originally facing right, as seen here, and must have been reversed in that low resolution image of the character models all together.

I believe those designs are from Jon Suzuki by the way, as are these...

Talk about quite the switch.
