21-25
....
Yeah I think they said in the New52 he was (back to being) 21. But I've decided life is better when we ignore Didio's decisions with Nightwing, and since the New52 (which de-aged him) is Didio's baby I'm perfectly happy to ignore that crap.
Dick Grayson is 24-25, minimum, possibly as old as 27 if you want to keep most of his history and development intact.

Exact ages are irrelevant. Its the age range that matters. Though that doesn't even matter anymore as the character is just fodder for the in house old guys. Who's modern sensibilities give way to things like becoming a taxi cab driver in an era of ride sharing, lol. Bludhaven itself now looks like something stuck in a time capsule even. Titans was brutal when it came to this too. Lets go to a pizza joint and hang out in our old club house by the beach. Im beyond tired of these out of touch creators.

I know man. I know.
It'll get better. We've been through rough patches before with both characters. We got through those, we'll get through this. No matter what Didio and other like-minded creators do, Dick Grayson will outlast them and rise again. He's way too important to DC history and too popular a character in larger media for anything else. It's just a question of how long this low-point will last.
Wally I'm a little more worried about. But he's still got too much history to be gotten rid of for good. Eventually Didio will turn his attention elsewhere and stop taking sh*ts on our guys, and then things will improve.
Tell that to DC!

Well, I mean, on one level we do have reason to hope. Nightwing is coming to Titans season 2 and is a big player in YJ. WB/DC isn't as big on synergy as Marvel is but if Titans continues to do well I could see that maybe providing enough incentive for WB to want to see some emphasis on Dick and the other Titans.
It'll likely result in another Titans reunion that is doomed to fail but it would force DC to put Dick back in recognizable form. At this point, a burned out status quo is better than what we have.
And there's supposed to be that Bat-relaunch sometime this year or next, and a new Gotham-wide jumping on point would.....probably......include Nightwing. Once again, it'll most likely be Dick back in his normal status quo but I'll take that over Ric any day of the week.
And the whole "missing time/Dr. Manhattan" stuff and all the other continuity shenanigans all point towards a continuity reset/reboot, which would, presumably, also potentially lead to a "back to classic form" relaunch. Which would, if nothing else, get us past this Ric bullsh*t.

Here’s the thing though, Ric is just a symptom. A relaunch isn’t going to fix the real problem. As long as the same personnel behind Ric remains, and there continues to be no standards or accountability when it comes to what they produce, we’re still screwed.
