Dick's 6' Pre Crisis and 5'10" starting later Post Crisis
Kori's 6'3" Pre Crisis and getting shorter as time passes until she's the same height or shorter than Dick depending on the artist
Bruce is always 6'2"
Babs used to be 5'10-11" and changed to 5'8" starting New 52
Jason's official bio tend to go with 6'-6'2" but the art always makes him shorter than Dick starting New 52 because they like that Batfam stairs

It's too inconsistent too mean anything. Like the skin tone, hair cut, eyes' color. Birthday. In the end is a visual medium, they may use characteristics and design to tell a story or just because it looks cool, whatever fits the mood.
5'10" is what I remember for Dick. Or maybe it was 5'8" or something. I think he was the exact average height for an American male, which is pretty short by superhero standards.
Not that height means anything in comics or is ever treated with any consistency. But I like it when Nightwing is short compared to his peers.
So a preview for Batman 99 is up. I'm glad the Ric nightmare is almost over. I still probably won't read the book until Jurgens leaves....but I gotta admit I'm tempted to grab 75; it's been a long time since I got an issue of Nightwing and I'm feeling the itch.

The benefit of being included in the actual event for once and not the event's sub-event is good art lol.
Damn, that preview was like a cup of water in a desert. Been too long Nightwing was in something that seemed like it could be even semi competent.
Hang on I'm counting again
Rebirth backstory timespan is around 10-15 years
Dick here is based on New 52 around 16 years old
He's adopted as a child in King's Batman, unclear age
Okay yeah I can work with this
Say as an example Rebirth back story is 15 years
Current Nightwing - 25 years old
9 years ago - Justice League first meeting - 16 years old
4 years further (13 years ago) - Adopted - 12 years old
That still leaves 2 years - 15 years ago - Batman Year One
I mean there's no set age for his childhood so it can range between 10 to 12 years old but placing it at 12 conveniently set it in Batman Year Three
Well it makes sense if it's just Dick but you add Tim and Jon, and you have Dick meeting the League for the first time around the same time Jon was born and Tim already Robin and meeting Kon
