They were seemingly in their 20s in the 1880s, so should look less than 10 years older than Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, etc., and be perceived as guys in their 40s.
Obviously if Bruce looks like he's aged 20 years, it's a different story.
The absurdity is almost kinda fun now.
EDIT: I know the post-COIE origins had the Twigger twins in the Civil War, but I hated it as it got the characters entirely wrong. The original comics were less than consistent, to say the least (especially that wild mention of the wireless in Johnny Thunder), but overall 1880s seemed most likely to me.
EDIT again: Oh, at a 1/8 speed, the 80+ year-old lookers would remember before the Americas were found by most of Europe. Black Death. Some even the founding of Tenochtitlan. The invention of Gutenberg's printing press. So many implications.
