@ComicsBornAndBred - Well it could add a bit of an atmosphere. I saw Deadpool in a matinee and it was weird seeing those jokes on a big screen and hearing just one dude in the back chuckling

@Jhuntdaprodigy - Once you and a woman and get over 30 you are considered old, unless you are an Academy Award winner or something.

@dnno1 - True but thats more for movies though majority of the actors on DC TV are in their late 20s to early 30s Laura Vanderbilt who plays Indigo on this show is the same age as Eve Torress

@Ryuk1995 - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturenews/7782247/Leading-actresses-hit-out-at-discrimination-in-entertainment-industry.html this article says that actresses have been criticizing the obsession with the "'youth culture' in film, television and theatre, and said that roles for mature actresses were 'diminishing' and 'deteriorating'". They also said that it was getting worse. I don't know what else I could tell you.

@dnno1 - I agree with you I never said you were wrong Article definitely has alot of truth to it I'm just saying that Eve Torress is around the same age as all the Superhero tv shows even the walking dead obviously age isn't a problem for this genre casting directors even the MCU and DCEU usually cast older

@Ryuk1995 - You said it was more for movies. I just wanted to make it clear that it applies to TV and other forms of media as well.
