She was roughly 25 years old to Dick Grayson's 18 when she debuted in 1967. With Crisis on Infinite Earths we see her referred to as the largely the same age. It was originally presented as Dick Grayson falling for an older woman. It not until Batman:TAS which had Barbara depicted as a graduate class below Dick did they stick with that in the comics. If you recall The Batman had Dick four years younger than Barbara. I like it with Dick being the same age as her. It does also make it odd her not being a Titan in retroactive continuity. She was the oldest of the first sidekick generation. Linda Danvers herself was just fresh out of college when she was killed COIE#7.
