This is true. DC won't mess with Batman popularity.
Big fans of Batman don't want him to be too old either. It is usually fans of other Bat family member who want this, because they want their own favorite characters are allowed to grow a bit more.
To be clear, characters growing isn't common in manga either
There are many manga where the characters remain at the same age all its run. And even stories where the characters grow up, they will hardly be over 30 (if they are over 20).
less than 30's is so exagered :/ Ok, he can not became 55, but 30's is too young :/
In my opinion Batman will fall sometime, because the younger genation will like more the younger heroes. Star wars move foward, the past language make no sense, I think Bruce is not a hero for younger generation like he was to the old one.
Marvel had overcome DC for some reason. I don't think keep a same idea forever is the best way for earn money. I was so full of listen people saying "Deadpool will never be made because people are not used with a anti-hero in movie theater", "Black Panter will not make sucess because never was a black protagonist hero", "spiderman in Spider Verse will not win the Oscar because the academy will never give a Oscar for a movie about comics", "Joker can't be a good movie because is a Batman Movie without Batman", "Teen Titans Go is not good and will be cancelled soon", "BTS will never win the BillBoard because they are Korean", "Parasite will never win the Oscar because thi is not a ocidental movie".
The best DC animation avaliation in IMDB is Under the Red Hood, changes happens.
Damian, Helena and Kori are like Batman Beyond: next generation, can't not be so popular as Batman, but sell animation, comics, merchandising.
The younger generation could like new heroes (in fact, that happened with New Teen Titans for a while).
However, Batfamily members (including young Batfamily members) are too connected to Batman. If Batman falls he will probably drag each member of the Batfamily with him.
Batman is likely one of my less favorite members in the Batfamily, but I won't deny he supports the popularity of the members in the group.
PS: That a younger generation likes younger heroes is another reason why DC doesn't want Batman to be too old.
I expressed my self not very well.
This "fall" is not a "total fall"... hummm.
Batman can always keep going, and be the principal DC's focus, but he can't stagnate other characters if we want to read (want = pay for).
Like, Batman sell more than Batgirl, but there is enough people wanting read Batgirl's focused stories for DC produce her comics. Instead of thinking "we don't need to do Batgirl's comic because it will never sell more than Batman" they got this is what many people wanted. So now many peoples buy batgirl AND Batman. We can buy DCeased (with the new trio) and Batman with the old one, I can read/ watch a storie when Bruce is 55 and there is older Damian and the kids I want and read/watch the 30's Bruce.
This is good for moments we need a break too, I like the normal story way, but was so good read Lil' Gotham, "#Bruce wayne is a good father" isn't a popular fanfics tag for nothing.
Dick's age when he met Bruce has changed several times: he has been 8, 10, 12 and 15 years old.

Hello...
Could someone write down in which titles Damian Wayne is now in??
I know for sure TT and BB....
Thank you... Hope you are all safe❤️❤️
Heck wouldn’t an easy thing to do be that when he died in Snyder’s endgame his reborn body was younger then when he died? I mean they did something similar in Dark Knight III Master Race, so I’m sure an age reduction wouldn’t be too upsetting.
