In their push to make all their characters so young, which I find a bit silly, did DC ask that Barbara be made even younger than she is in the current series?

I don’t think so…by the time they were figuring out those kind of details and nailing them down, I was involved already, and the chronology was already decided that she had been Batgirl for one year, before the Killing Joke. Then three years in the chair, and most of a year in rehab, I think is the chronology. Which makes her 21 at this point.

It’s still a bit of disconnect at time, but as her story fills in, I have a much more complex timeline in mind that resonates with the pre-new52 stuff I love so much.
