The Batman Chronology Project

I thought I’d share some wonderful recent projects inspired by the Batman Chronology Project. These projects have been completed by myself, longtime regular site contributor Martín Lel, and fellow site contributor Jack James.

On Imgur, I’ve built an infographic, which details the post-original Crisis Modern Age timeline (1985-2011). For the full infographic, please click on the following link: https://imgur.com/gallery/B9LmB56

Batman: A Complete post-Crisis Chronology infographic by Martín Lel

I have also assembled and cut together special digital comic book reader (cbr) files—basically a few fan-made volumes that collect all the stories set in the post-original Crisis (Modern Age) Batman’s early years in chronological order. To download the early years portion of these volumes, please click on the following Mega link: https://mega.nz/folder/ZB1mFKbJ#rJqzB57SGuh741GRPfnaNQ

The Saga of the Batman Vol. 1 by Martín Lel

Not to be outdone, Jack has also assembled comic book volumes that collect all the stories set in the post-original Crisis (Modern Age) Batman’s first year or two in chronological order.
