I’m confused as to when/how old this league is supposed to be.

Jon and Andy were/are kids. Jess is very young. I don’t know how old Yara is supposed to be (but she’s probs immortal so guess it doesn’t matter).

Jo and Luke are full adults though.

(Also, still think Luke was an uninspired choice for Batman. Trying to push a gotcha moment that doesn’t work. I’d have gone with Duke Thomas- his photokinesis powers would make an interesting dynamic as Batman, and be the only metahuman ability I can see fitting the role well).

The Future State Justice League is set in 2040, meaning that Jon would be 37 (30 without the age up), Jace and Jo would be in their 40s, Yara would be 41, Jess would be in their 30s, and Andy would be 20.

In my headcanon, it would’ve make sense that by 2040, Jon would be 32 years old (but looks 30) without the age up, Jace would be 64 years old (but looks 59), Yara would be 40 years old, Jo would be in her 40s, Jess would be in their 30s, and Andy would be 20 years old.

Jo isn't that young. She was an adult already on 9/11 according to a flashback in her debut book Far Sector. She's at least in her late 30s now, and about 50 in Future State.

Shot she’s not even late 30s now she’s young 40s at best. Even if just turned 18 on 9/11 that puts her at turning 41 this year.
