I like Christian Bale as a Y1 Bat, too. He plays creepy rich psychotics very well.
More links! Connected with the earlier link to the Dark Knight page is more details (http://www.darkknight.ca/faq/comiclist.html) on ages. The person who runs this website probably has the best, most reliable information, because s/he references specific comic books. It's also one of the sites that lists age 14 as the time Bruce heads overseas, and how I calculated my information in my first post.
The DC Universe Calendar (http://members.shaw.ca/TheTimeTrust/calendar.htm) Bruce's birthday is in Feb or April, depending on if you're using Earth 1 or Earth 2 calendar.
Batman year one (http://www.damianobrigo.it/darknight.htm#year one). Goes with the leaving the US at 12, but is gone for 18 years from Gotham (12 years overseas). However, according to a general review here (http://www.thekeeponline.com/reviews/bmanyr1.html), it is only twelve years that he's gone, but 18 years til he gets his 'revenge.' This essay (http://www.class.uidaho.edu/narrative/comics/postmodern_batman.htm) concurs with my age 14 leaving, to England, and then onward, but it somewhat contridicts his return time, saying when he was "of age."
and a little Dick Grayson history here (http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/aug01/art_0801_5.shtml), which throws his age in too.
(I'll have to memory these entries, because I found additional links I hadn't had before)
