    Hello, I have recently come into the hobby of collecting comic books. Out of all comic book characters however, Batman has always and will always be my favorite. There has however been many eras and timelines where the caped crusader has donned his cape. So it can be quite difficult and intimidating to get into reading pretty much any  DC or Marvel character (it was for me at least). The one era of DC comics that did catch my eye was the ‘modern era’. This time in DC ran from the event ‘Crisis on Infinite Earth’ until the ‘Flashpoint’ story arch, which brought in the new 52. Finding a reading order for Batman during this time was a very daunting and time consuming task as DC hasn’t released an official timeline unlike they have for their other timelines. So, I have taken it upon myself to bring to you a solid batman timeline for the ‘Modern Era’. Some of the timeline could be wrong and if I’m missing anything it would be a massive help if you could leave a comment. :)

    (If the story has slashes next to it (/) then it is a cross over event with the justice league)
