Hi Kurt, there seems to be a kind of struggle sometimes with fans between a lack of progression with characters and wanting some parts of fans to stay the same. The website Fantastic Four: Great American Novel addresses this quite a bit:

How do you as a writer personally handle long term changes to characters who don't really age? After all, even in the post-crisis continuity, Batman really only got to 44 years of age at max before the New 52.
