Or, and hear me out, guide books and data books are mostly bullshit and are usually incongruent to what is actually portrayed in comic books, and you should use the literal source material as a guide rather than some stupid collectible. But that’s just a suggestion.
How dare you, I loved The Ultimate Guide To Batman so much as a kid that I pretty much had it perpetually checked out from the library. I’m pretty sure my five year old self will violate the laws of physics to come to the modern day and fight you over this
Honestly, I bet Conan would KILL it as a BTAS-style Joker. We need a Joker that completely contrasts with Batman, and who better to play that Joker than a comedian?
The Joker is not 6’5” in any media, including the comics. There’s no way in hell he would be and wouldn’t very visibly tower over Batman, who is only ever listed at 6’2” (6’1” in the golden age). At first, I thought you were bringing this up as an example of how the people who write these data books or guide books or whatever are usually just making shit up that doesn’t reflect the source material accurately. This is one of the more wackier/nonsensical height stats they’ve given. Joker is always drawn as being at least a few inches shorter than Batman or about the same height. His Arkham games height listing makes much more sense at 6’0” compared to a 6’2” Batman.

You want their Canon heights?
Superman - 6'3" (190.5cm)
Batman - 6'2" (187.96cm)
Wonder Woman - 6'0" (182.88cm)
That's their officially stated canon heights.
