User blog comment:Thailog/"Spoiler Request" ages/@comment-4928331-20120901025150

This is sort of only tangentially related, and I apologize in advance if you folks feel this is merely clutter. But honestly I can never understand why the obsession with "how old _____ is" for Young Justice. I have not seen this in any other sort of comics-based fandom (the DCAU, X-Men, X-Men Evolution).

To me, it's not really important in the scheme of things whether I knew Miss Martian was actually 40 years old, Devastation is 1 year old, or Lois Lane's age is a spoiler. I'm certainly not going to enjoy the series less if I don't know why Sportsmaster looks awfully spry for a retiree, why Klarion is ageless, or why the charlatan Xanadu's age is top secret.
