Hi, I'm the OP. Thank you so much for working this out! As you have probably guessed, I am terrible at math. I tried to do the calculations myself and eventually gave up and typed a random number of "greats".

But it all turned out OK, because now there is an entire thread discussing the mathematics of Kathryn Janeway hypothetically being Batman's descendent. This is why fandom is awesome.

I don't think I'd say you're terrible at math based on this assumption. (Or even the fact that you gave up on figuring it out...it takes a lot of assumptions to come up with any of the numbers.)

It's very common to overestimate how many generations you have to go back to cover a given largish span of time - it's instinctive to call a century (most likely longer than anyone we know has been alive) a LONG-ASS time, but to also call a generation a relatively short period of time (at least once we get to be adults and grown-ups aren't all ancient)...and to estimate a LONG-ASS time as taking more short periods than it really does.

On the matter of calling generations a short period of time, I wonder if social generations (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y) have influenced that. The social generations tend to be around 20 years apart.
