    In secret origins whatever, the Grayson story, they said he was 5'8" and weighs like 176? lbs. So they made him a little shorter, and slightly heavier.

    It says 80 kg (=176 lbs) and 178 cm (=5' 10'') and additional pound is probably just roundet up, since 175 lbs would be 79,5 kg. So he has still the same height and weight he has in most sources since the mid 80's.

    And according to the new secret origin he is still 21.

    @aahz:

    That kind sucks. Nightwing was probably the best dc ninja representation. On Grayson he seems very muscular in last issues. I liked when Nightwing had small and light body and Jason was taller and muscular being perfect for militar type characther.

    @vitalius: ???

    Based on the stats he has still the same body he had before.

    I'm not sure bout Jason's height/weight in the new 52. Especially since there are three different values for his weight (180, 190 and 225 lbs) in the books before the new 52, his height on the other hand was always 6'0''.

    But I think Tim is taller now. According to the ultimate character guide from 2011 even as Red Robin he was only 5'6''. Which was only 4 inch taller than Damien was according to the same book.

    @vitalius: I don't realy see a difference between them when they appear in the same volume, but as long as you don't go with the 225 lbs (which would make Jason more muscular than Bruce who is usually 6'2'' and 210 lbs) the difference between them is not so big.

    By the way technically Dick is also shorter than Barbara Gordon, Helena Bertinelli and Kate Kane, who all are acording to most sources 5'11'' and at least Barbaras Costume included high heels.

    @aahz:

    I personally dislike how Jason is being treated, he is almost a different characther. Batman is male power fantasy i understand the art design even thought most of time doesnt make sense in terms of logic. Helena and Kate seems to be taller in art style, at least Helena is taller than Dinah who also has perfect bodytype for ninja. Sure Jason wasnt obivious overmuscular that it was clear that Jason was bigger than Dick

    Jason, in my opinion, should always have been more muscular than Dick, in the same way that Bruce is, specifically due to his different fighting style. He's far more brutal, which would lead to him focusing on different areas of his body to work on. As an acrobat, who relies on speed, Dick doesn't need the same musculature that the other two do. At the same time however, I also thought that Dick always should have been the taller of the two for similar reasons.

    But you know, different artists, different renditions.

    I tried to make a visualization of the hight of the different Bat family members. You can see the result below. The values (with exception of Cassandra) are taken from the "DC Comics Ultimate Character Guide" from 2011, which is afaik the most resent source, but still based on pre 52 (Tim is already Red Robin and Steph is Batgirl).

    Other than when Dick was a kid Babs has never been shown to be taller than Dick. All info always says she is either 5'6 or 5'7. However this could be a case of several reboots changing age/height/etc. I have just personally never seen Barbara drawn to be taller than adult Dick Grayson.

    @richardjohngrayson: I know that it is never drawn that way, but according to most sources Barbara is 5'11'' (there is only one I know for 5'7'' and one for 5'6''). And by the way Hellena Bertinelli and Kate Kane are also 5'11'' (and fight crime in high heels) and are also usually not drawn to be taller than Dick.

    And Commsioner Gordon is officially only 5'9''.

    But the official values for height and weight are anyway quite questionable and inconsistent in my opinion.

    @aahz: Well, his height before being Nightwing is inconsistent. His Nightwing height has practically always been 5'10

    @nightwingism: I don't think there are any sources where you find his height pre Nightwing.

    But you are right Dicks (5'10'', 175 lbs) and Bruce stats (6'2'', 210 lbs) are really consistent, the of of the other Batfamily members have more variation.

    @aahz: I think in those Character Bio books, with every character in the universe, it has his height and weight. I could be wrong though
