17 We know Barb was still Batgirl around Valentine's Day. We


can assume that it was not Valentine's Day 2013, because
learning how to live with paraplegia usually takes month of
physical (and emotional) therapy. At the time of AMoF, Tim
was still rather insecure and unexperienced in his role as
Robin, as evidenced by some of his lines in-game.

17 This is probably the most tricky part of the timeline, as we


have no solid information on when Jason was captured, when
he escaped and when Tim approached Bruce. What we do
know is that:
1) Jason had been Robin long enough to get to investigate
crime scenes on his own.
16 2) Jason was Joker's prisoner for more than a year.
3) It was six months into Jason's captivity that Joker got a
picture of the new Robin to show to him, which means that he
must have been captured at least six monts before AMoF
14 (August 2011 the latest).
4) The batcomputer stats for Jason Todd and the Arkham
Knight are an exact match, which means Jason must have
finished his growth spurts before he was abducted, which
means he can't have been too young when it happened.

14 We know from Dick's story in BAK that Bruce basically sent


him out of the manor 'like a parent sending their kid of to
college'. It would make sense that he was legally old enough
to live by himself at that point.
11 This is the first appearance of Robin. Since Bruce had to have
had time to take in, train and quite possibly adopt all three
Robins and Dick must have been an adult when he left, he
can't have been much younger than 15. We know Barb
hacked into the batcave at age 15.
11 We know from in-game dialogue that this happened ten years
before BAK. Barb was 15 at that time.
9 We know that Batman's crime-fighting career started two
years before BAO, as stated in the game.

We know from Alfred's story in BAK that it has been thirty


years since Martha and Thomas Wayne died. We know from
BAC that he was eight years old then. Ergo, Bruce is 38 at the
time of BAK.
