If you read the entry on Batman (or Joker or others) on Wikipedia
you get a sense of just how complicated an convulted the comic book universe is. DC comics had the merge to clean things up and be able
to restart things. They also rebooted Superman (and probably others) so that they don't have to worry about continuity with
issues from the 1940's.

Marvel comics does not have as many versions of things within the comic but they do have the time-problem. Peter Parker was in High School in the early 1960's, so he should be about about 60 now.
And his Aunt May has been in bad health for all of that time also- she should be over 100 surely.

Unlike Mathematics, Comics need not be consistent.
