Then find me a recent comic that says how much older Bruce actually is.
Zero Hour (I think) said Batman and Superman was 35, and the last time Dick's age was provided he was 24. What we know is that Post Crisis Dick became Robin at the age of 12, and became Nigthwing at the age of 19 (Dick said it was 6 years of being Robin so he must have been closer to 13 than 12 when he joined Batman, or he trained for a year before being active). We know Batman started fighting crime at 25, and we know that he took on Robin in year three, but it doesn't really fit with the current portrayals of their ages.
I think Batman said not to long ago that it had been 25 years since he last saw his parents which would make him only 33, but that doesn't seem right to me.

Comics mess with people's ages all the time.
Example: Zero Hour was in 1994, do you really think that current Batman and Superman are 51 years old?

No but he was looking for the last time Nightwing and Batman's ages were provided and that was it, Zero Hour. Batman 35. Nightwing 24.

How far back was it, in comic time?
Who knows, but not to long ago they referenced an event in Wolverine (and I forget what it was and the issue), but it implied that something like last 10 years of Wolverine comics was a year in the Marvel time line.
On the comic facts never changing matter. Franklyn Richards was 4-5 when Amiko was a baby. Now Amiko is 16-18 and Franklyn is 8-10. Maybe the kid keeps dying and Reed clones him Dr Venture style or something.

Marvel tends to use around a 10 year sliding scale, that's why Reed, Ben and I think the Punisher's military history keeps changing.
Now, let's look at things using MK's "common sense". Zero Hour happened when Bruce was 35 and you just stated that a recent book mentioned an event that would place Bruce's age at 33. which would mean that Zero Hour won't happen for two more years in 'comic time".
MK's logic doesn't seem to add up, does it?

Quite you fool, Grant Morrison will hear you! We don't need to give that madman anymore crazy ideas.
