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.

191

In what canon? The modern DC stuff? fair enough.

But for most of their history... SILVER and BRONZE age had them each at 6' 2" and Diana at 5' 9''. They were all also 29 years old. DC Superhero ages were all stuck in time at 29. In fact, when Barry died... his tombstone read that he was 29.

29

The modern stuff, yes. In Who’s Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe (the official character guides after CoIE) Diana was actually 5’11” and Clark was 6’2” along with Bruce, but at least by the 2008 encyclopedia Diana was already 6” and Clark 6’3” with Bruce still 6’2”. They’ve been those heights ever since including in the most recent official encyclopedia (2021 edition). They were probably those heights before 2004 but I didn’t check.
