				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This project started as the Tomasi run on Detective Comics, but then expanded as it crossed over into Joker War.  Eventually, it became my version of post-Rebirth Batman, similar to the <a title="Batman:  The post-Crisis Chronology" href="http://comicbinding.com/mapping/batman-post-crisis">post-Crisis chronology/map</a>.  I am not including Tom King&#8217;s Batman run in continuity, nor am I following Tynion&#8217;s Detective Comics run that started the Rebirth era.  I am also not trying to reconcile with Scott Snyder&#8217;s Justice League run and related Year of the Villain plotlines, other than what is needed for the ongoing storyline in these Batman comics.  These volumes are mapped to go around the main <a title="DC Rebirth" href="http://comicbinding.com/mapping/dc-rebirth">DC Rebirth</a> books, but there is not much overlap.  Mapping past &#8220;Infinite Frontier&#8221; is still tentative.</p>
<p><a title="Detective Comics #1000 and #1027" href="http://comicbinding.com/mapping/detective-comics-1000-and-1027">Detective Comics #1000 and #1027 had multiple stories.</a>  The specific story in the map will be indicated after the decimal point.</p>
<p>Tremendous gratitude to the work of the <a href="https://therealbatmanchronologyproject.com/">Real Batman Chronology Project</a>, which I heavily referenced for issue placement.</p>
<p><em><strong><a title="Dark Nights:  Metal" href="http://comicbinding.com/mapping/dark-nights-metal">&#8220;Dark Nights:  Metal&#8221;</a> takes place prior to these volumes.</strong></em></p>

<p><em>The stories are gathered in this way because most of them reference specific dates, but the book also became a bit of a catch-all.<br />
-Batman Annual #1 contains several Christmas stories.  The first story spans the months of September through December, and the second shares a page and takes place on Christmas.  The rest of the stories are out of continuity.<br />
-Batman Annual #4 takes place over a span in March and April.<br />
-Batman Annual #3 takes place on Father&#8217;s Day weekend.<br />
-I originally had Detective Comics Annual #2 placed close to publication order after Detective #1005, but moved it back here based on the <a href="https://therealbatmanchronologyproject.com/thenewage/years-16-19/year-seventeen-part-2/">recommendation of the Real Batman Chronology Project</a>.  There is a line of dialogue on the first page that places the issue on Bastille Day, which is in mid-July.<br />
-While some of these issues contain stories by Tom King, they do not impact his run nor do they contradict any other continuity, so they have been placed here.</em></p>
<p><strong>Batman Universe (HC)</strong><br />
Batman Giant #3-14 or Batman Universe #1-6</p>
<p><em>This is the serialized story by Bendis that originally appeared in the Giant issues offered at Wal-Mart.</em></p>
<p><strong>Three Jokers</strong><br />
Three Jokers #1-3</p>
<p><em>While the plot for this was set up in DC Universe Rebirth #1, the story itself did not actually tie into the Rebirth narrative.  It has been placed here based on <a href="https://therealbatmanchronologyproject.com/thenewage/years-16-19/year-seventeen-part-2/#year-seventeen-part-2-n-5">context determined by the Real Batman Chronology Project</a>.</em></p>

Detective #1001-1016<br />
Year of the Villain:  Riddler #1<br />
Year of the Villain:  Joker #1</p>
<p><em>As mentioned above, Detective Comics Annual #2 was originally placed between #1005-1006 but moved due to it&#8217;s July setting.  The Mythology arc in #994-999 takes place around Batman&#8217;s birthday, which the BCP places in February.  The thought would be that not enough time has passed for it to be July at that point.  If this book is too big, there is a decent volume break possible between #1007 and #1008, with the second volume containing the &#8220;Year of the Villain&#8221; stories.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Doomsday Clock&#8221; occurs here, as <a href="https://therealbatmanchronologyproject.com/thenewage/years-16-19/rebirth-year-eighteen-part-2/" target="_blank">determined by the Real Batman Chronology Project</a>.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>While I don&#8217;t count Tom King&#8217;s run as part of continuity here, it&#8217;s obvious that some version of certain events of that run did occur.  A volume break has been put here to indicate that those events happened &#8220;off camera&#8221; around this time.</em></p>
