You had me curious, since you hinge on Batman Inc a lot I figured I would look into it.

In The New 52, Batman’s only been active for six years or less, as according to Batman Annual #1, Bruce returned from his trip around the world six years ago. There have been some concerns about that: how Damian is ten and how Bruce has gone through all the Robins. Do you think this has impacted the story at all?
CB:
Only if you let it. I think tying long term comics down to a specific timeline is a stupid idea. I think [the editors] already regret it. I don’t know why they didn’t just say “years ago” and just leave it at that. We try our best to ignore whatever continuity screw ups happen, because it’s all fun.
What’s the timeline like for Batman Incorporated in The New 52? Jason referred to some Inc events in Red Hood #17 so I was confused at the chronological placement of Batman Incorporated?
CB:
Well, the thing with comics is that they’re fake. I mean, that’s the thing: it’s fake, it doesn’t quite make sense. The legitimate problem is that there are eight Batman titles written by eight different guys who’re on eight different schedules. You have so many balls in the air, keeping everything perfectly in line… it’s a miracle it works as well as it does.

Geek: Is your story taking place before or after the events of #13? What about the others?
CB:
All the other stories are pretty stand alone and could probably take place whenever you wanted them to
And:
Is there going to be an effort in this to more concretely tie Batman Inc. to the New 52? It always felt pretty separate to me, outside of some cosmetic changes, mentions here and there in the other books and, of course, the repercussions of Damian's death.
CB:
Burnham: There are very few references to any continuity of any kind here. The focus was on telling punchy little stories, not ticking off a chronology checklist or making stupid "how about the Joker's face, huh?" comments.
Your argument hinges on one artist who intentionally doesn't care about continuity, despite every other comic falling in line with a chronological order.
