grahamvidger Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 When does Batman: Haunted Knight take place? They mentioned Two-Face so it can't be before Batman: The Long Halloween, and there was nothing about Robin in it, so it made me think can't be after Batman: Haunted Knight, and I find it hard to believe it's in between the two. It's hard to believe this could not be in continuity with Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Haunted Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Haunted Knight is just three Halloween stories, that don't get mentioned again, so I don't think it's cannon. It's just three stories involving Batman facing scary stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 ...and there was nothing about Robin in it... That doesn't actually matter much. Batman stories will often ignore Robin when they don't need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamvidger Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well if Haunted Knight takes place right after Dark Victory then I would expect Robin to be in it, because he had just been brought to Bruce Wayne's world and so they would make him appear for some characterization. If it takes place later than that, well, comment one of the later Ronins at least or Nightwing or Babs, or the JLA or just some fellow super heroes to give us an idea of when this takes place. I'm sure all other Batman stories do at least one of those things to remind you when this story takes place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm sure all other Batman stories do at least one of those things to remind you when this story takes place. DC doesn't always do that. To be honest, the chronology isn't necessarily as important, since most of the characters are icons, and not dependent upon the more realistic details of the character's history. After all, if you want to look at all the minutiae of DC's history, then you'd have to accept all the craziness of decades past. While technically you should be correct, DC's comics aren't as reliant upon extreme attention to continuity, especially with stories that go backwards in time.
