My understanding of the "10 years" comment is that the DCU must've been about 15 years into the "age of heroes" prior to Flashpoint. Using Batman as the standard, this roughly makes sense... he's usually assumed to be in his late 20's at the start of his career, which means he would've been around 45 when Flashpoint hit. Dick Grayson started around the age of 10 and was around 25 when Flashpoint hit. The timeline was reset so they were only 5 years into the age of heroes instead of 15.
