Duke Thomas Height Weight ?

[Aahz]

I recently bought the new "Batman Character Encyclopedia" that has short profiles and stats for the new Batman Characters.

What I found strange is that Duke was listed as 1.86m (~6'1'') and 58.5kg (~129 lbs) which doesn't really fit his appearance in the comics.

But my cops of the book seems to be a "translated" one which has all stats in metric units. There seems to be an other version of the book with imperial units. Does anybody own the "imperial" version of the book and can tell me if these stats are correct or if it the translator made a mistake?
my guess is that the numbers were switched and the correct would be 1.68m (~5'6'').

I think you're exactly right. I'm 5'5" and around 120 with a similar build, so Duke being 5'6" is very plausible.

[Jadeb]

The Character Encyclopedia has crazy stats for a lot of characters, even prior to translation. I love that sort of trivia, so I wish they put more effort into creating realistic heights and weights.

[Aioros22]

5`6 seems the most plausible. 6`1 is just too much, IMO.

Out of curiosity what are the the stats for Tim, Jay and Dick?

Do you have the untranslated version?

Dick 1.78m 79 kg (= 5'10'' 175 lbs)
Jason 1.83m 82 kg (= 6'0'' 180 lbs)
Tim 1.68m 59kg (= 5'6'' 128 lbs)
Damian 1.37m 38 kg (= 4'6'' 84 lbs)

I have actaully a list where i collect the stats from different publications for the Batfamily, that why I'm trying to reference Dukes hight.

Could you please post it? I'd love to know the official numbers for everyone.

Here, the "injustice" stats are from some wikia, I couldn't really track down where the stats in the wikia came from. And the one from Batman Character Encyclopedia are roughly conveted from metric, they may be a little bit diffrent in the original.

Btw. the stats of Luke Fox seem also not really fitting, if any body owns the imperial version of the book it would be nice if he could check Luke as well.

I wanted to ask id somebody can finally answer my initial question.

I recently bought the new "Batman Character Encyclopedia" that has short profiles and stats for the new Batman Characters.

What I found strange is that Duke was listed as 1.86m (~6'1'') and 58.5kg (~129 lbs) which doesn't really fit his appearance in the comics.

But my cops of the book seems to be a "translated" one which has all stats in metric units. There seems to be an other version of the book with imperial units. Does anybody own the "imperial" version of the book and can tell me if these stats are correct or if it the translator made a mistake?
my guess is that the numbers were switched and the correct would be 1.68m (~5'6'').

I was also thinking about which of the official stats seems the most fitting for me. I would probably go with:

Bruce Wayne 6’2”, 210 lbs.
Dick Grayson 5’10”, 175 lbs.
Jason Todd 6’0”, 225 lbs.
Tim Drake 5’6”, 145 lbs.
Damian Wayne ???
Barbara Gordon 5’7”, 126 lbs.
Stephanie Brown 5’5”, 129 lbs.
Cassandra Cain 5’5”, 127 lbs.
Alfred Pennyworth 6’0”, 170 lbs.
Helena Bertinelli 5’9”, 120 lbs
Selina Keyle 5’9”, 135 lbs.
James Gordon 6’0”, 180 lbs.
Kate Kane 5’11”, 145 lbs.

Even if I would make my own stats I would consider to increase the weights of Barbara, Helena and Selina (especially Helena) and to give Cass stats similar to Shivas (5'8'', 141 lbs.)

You've got Jason Todd weighing more than Bruce and being shorter. Probably want to swap those weights. Most of the other male weights seem to be fairly close. (Although I'd probably increase Dick's weight a bit. We're the same height, he's more muscular, and I have 10 pounds on him. )

I always see Cass as shorter. Maybe 5'3" or so.

The women are all underweight, especially Kate. They've all got muscle. Check out some of the MMA heights/weights to give you an idea of what a muscular woman would/should weigh. Then factor in that they try to stay within weight classes as well. (Ronda Rousey is 5'7", 135 lbs, for example.)

Helena's even worse! She'd be a literal rail with those measurements.
Maybe add 15 - 20 lbs to each of them.

This site is great for visualizing height/weight ratios (for regular people, in fairness):

Young Animal was kind enough to give the height and weight of the newest Gothamite, Violet Paige: 6'0", 180 lbs.

I like the idea of him being more muscular than Bruce.

She is ften drawn like that, but I just think that kind of ridiculous that such a small and skinny girl is supposed to be one of the top fighters of the DCU. And her parents are also quite tall.

Helena's even worse! She'd be a literal rail with those measurements.

Yup, but I think that at least the 5'9'' seems more fitting than the 5'11'' of the alternative stats. And like I said was just looking at the official stats.
