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.

She was also much older than Dick in the Adam West series. Her and Bruce were sort of dating in thag version. So for someone who was introduced to her there seeing her with Dick is a bit Jarring
