this is MY PERSONAL interpretation of dc events in as linear a fashion as I can manage. set only post-crisis and pre-flashpoint, so no new 52/rebirth characters or events will show up. this ends with batman the return. "year 1" is when bruce became batman. in my world, that was 1992, and this timeline ends in 2011, just like new earth did. characters are gray until they pick up a vigilante title. they go back to gray in event of their death (regardless of whether or not the rumors are overexaggerated) or when they go on break from the hero life
