So the World's Finest 2022 came out and it said Dick is around 18 and set in the not too distant past. So I know he and Kara had some romance and it had me wondering, how old is she meant to be in this? Is she older or younger?

Why is this thread a thing?

I think what's going on here, is that they're going by pre-Crisis continuity, when Kara would indeed be around Dick's age, or slightly older. The problem is that she was rebooted and is now closer to Tim Drake's age. Though if they explain her 2005 return as a resurrection instead of a reboot, Kara would now seem younger due to not aging when she was dead.

with Dick said to be 18ish, we can assume Kara is too

Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
Yeah, this is about as much in continuity as Taylor's Superman run.
Writing about comics https://bookofhsssh.blogspot.com
Either Waid or his editor didn't factor that into the equation or has a surprise in stored. During his AMA Waid struck me as a guy who doesn't pay attention to the current comics. So, it's up in the air for now, we just know this is Mark Waid writing his dream book. He want to write his stories without trying to figure out how it fit to other books, hence no married Superman and Dick is Robin. It can be retcon'd anytime without much fuss, I'm guessing. Correct me if I am wrong.
So, my question is: If Dick is 17-18, does that mean Jason died one-year into being Robin? Tim was Robin for six or seven years? Damian has only been Robin for three years? So, how long has Jason Todd been back alive?
Maybe I am overthinking this. My math is off, I just know it.
You're not far off, Damian was 10 when he became Robin and is now 14. Jason was resurrected probably five years ago in-universe, it would've been not long before Damian showed up.
