<<<< Earth-1 Batman Quick List Years 1-10 <<<< |||

1. ^[1]COLLIN COLSHER: Because everything is still in flux for a couple months following Crisis on the brand spankin’ new Modern Age timeline, this allows for a few more final Silver/Bronze Age stories to close us out neatly on our timeline here. Everything from this point forward occurs after Crisis but is still part of Silver/Bronze Age Earth-1 continuity. (As such, Doug Moench finishes his long mega-arc as the definitive final Silver/Bronze Age Batman tale. Plus, we get the added bonus of the final issue of ‘tec by Harlan Ellison!) DCU Guide lists several other Silver/Bronze Age stories as occurring during this post-Crisis period, including WFC #323, Heroes Against Hunger #1,  New Teen Titans Vol. 2 #18, Batman and The Outsiders Annual #2, Batman and The Outsiders #28-32, Justice League of America #250-255, and Swamp Thing Vol. 2 #52-55. Scholar Mike Voiles also includes New Teen Titans Vol. 2 #18-31. There’s no indication that WFC #323 and Heroes Against Hunger #1 take place after the Crisis, so I’ve kept them prior to it. Batman and The Outsiders #28-32, JLofA #250-255, and Swamp Thing Vol. 2 #52-55 are definitively post-Crisis, in the sense that they are decidedly new continuity, so they shouldn’t be here. Batman and The Outsiders Annual #2 is tough as it could fit (with only minor caveats) here or in the Modern Age. However, I’ve pushed it into the Modern Age because it directly connects to Batman and The Outsiders #28-32. Scholars seem to be most confused about JLofA #250-255. This run gets placed in the Modern Age, Silver/Bronze Age, paradoxically in both at the same time, or split up between the two. Despite this confusion, there is a heap of evidence that places JLA #250-255 in the Modern Age. New Teen Titans Vol. 2 #18-31 is also a tough run that could go either way, but it seems to build toward ongoing Modern Age narrative, plus it references Crisis #12, so I’ve marked it as Modern. Thus, for Batman, Moench’s Batman/Detective Comics finale arc occurs below. The only other comics that go below are Superman #416-422, Action Comics #577-582, DC Comics Presents #89-97, Legion of Super-Heroes #19-27, Infinity Inc #26-29, Warlord #101-112, Green Lantern Vol. 2 #199-201, Fury of Firestorm #43-47, and Lois Lane #1-2. Since these other issues don’t involve Earth-1 Batman, we won’t worry about them. Suffice to say, this is one of the most complex and confusing periods of DC’s history, and it’s nearly impossible to properly interpret canon in a way that is simple or makes much sense.↩
2. ^[2]FRANK FERNANDEZ: Following Crisis, Bronze Age stories continued to be published for around a year or so, right alongside new Modern Age material. As such, this flux period uniquely sees pre-Crisis characters and post-crisis characters existing in the same publication line. As such, it’s highly possible (if not irrefutable) that this messy flux period sees pre-Crisis characters co-mingling with post-Crisis characters within the very same comic book issues themselves. This concept, backed by various folks on the DC Fandom website, is the case definitively in the Modern Age, where the remnants of the Silver/Bronze Age flittered in-and-out until fading permanently at the conclusion of the aforementioned flux period. Therefore, we could (and likely should) also include Batman and The Outsiders Annual #2, Batman and The Outsiders #28-32, Justice League of America #250-255, Swamp Thing #52-55, and New Teen Titans Vol. 2 #18, all All Star Squadron issues through #60, Legend of Wonder Woman #1-4, and a few others on both the Bronze Age and Modern Age timelines. There’s no need for scholar Mike Voiles’ theory of a “Merged Earth” with a separate timeline for these flux tales. Voiles is surely onto something, but he goes a bit too far. The “merged” stories can simply appear on both primary timelines with caveats added where needed. Again, this is all up to headcanon, but this path seems just as if not more valid than others.↩
