    It starts off with Justice League V.1 and issue #1 of everything else begins about five years later and the events of most series take place alongside each other. If anything major happens that affects other characters then you can see some kind of reference to the event or even a few cross-overs given the right circumstances. I haven't read that many series personally but I can say that you should read Batman V.5 and V.6 (because it's basically just his origin story re-done) before reading anything else Batman related, though.

    It starts off with Justice League V.1 and issue #1 of everything else begins about five years later and the events of most series take place alongside each other. If anything major happens that affects other characters then you can see some kind of reference to the event or even a few cross-overs given the right circumstances. I haven't read that many series personally but I can say that you should read Batman V.5 and V.6 (because it's basically just his origin story re-done) before reading anything else Batman related, though.

    To be fair, it's not his origin. That has stayed intact. I feel like it's more of his Year Oneelaborated, rather than redone.

    Everything else is correct. Zero issues were published between issues 12 and 13 for the core/flagship titles. Some smaller titles started off with issue 0 in year two of DC's reboot. Zero issues were single stories dedicated in some way to the characters origin.

    Essentially, every September since the reboot is a gimmick month. Three years ago = Reboot. Two Years ago = Zero issues. One year ago = Villians month. This year = Future's End (five years from now).
