When did it come to be that Bruce is ten or fifteen years older than Kal?
Back in the day (Silver Age, '60s and beyond), they were very close to the same age. There was even a Superboy* story wherein teenage Supes met angry teenage Bruce (who was dressed in black, but was still sorting things out regarding his crime-fighting career).
*(Not the semi-functional clone, but "The adventures of Superman when he was a boy.")
I mostly quit collecting and reading comics in the late '80s. But in several that I have read, and in some of the small-screen and big-screen productions of the past couple of decades, Bruce often seems to be considerably older. When did TPTB make that change (which I hate)?
