DCU Trade Paperback Timeline & Reading Order (2011-present)

I was recently inspired by the Batman Chronology Project to make some DCU collected edition (trade paperback) timelines.

The Post Crisis TPB timeline, which was built by cross referencing the Batman Chronology Project with a few other chronology sites, focuses on Batman but goes far beyond just that single character. I’ve kept it as up-to-date and accurate as possible, although the haphazard and sporadic nature of DC’s collected edition department doesn’t always make it easy.

The Post Flashpoint (New 52, Rebirth, and Infinite Frontier) TPB timeline is based off of the Batman Chronology Project, with the change of separating the Rebirth trade dress (but pre “Superman Reborn”) books from the New 52 books, instead placing the former into their spots in the Rebirth section. This was done more so for simplicity’s sake as opposed to reading order. The Infinite Frontier portion of the timeline includes every release since the start of the Infinite Frontier Era, and so far I’ve placed 122 out of 137 Infinite Frontier era collected edition titles released thus far. (If anyone happens to know where the remaining titles fit, your insight would actually be greatly appreciated.)
