Did you know in one universe, there was a radiation explosion or whatever that turn Peter Parker into the Hulk? And a Spider that was in the explosion bit Bruce Banner, who became Bullet Points Spider-Man. And I believe Steve Rogers was Iron Man in that universe. I think Steve and Peter died. And I think Peter killed Steve. And I believe they were buried next to each other. I think Peter does fighting Galactis or something... Lots of universes out there...
That's why I can't get into comics. I don't know what is part of what universe and/or storyline.
I know of some key events in Batman, but I don't know the chronology or if they are even part of the same thing. I know Dick Grayson goes off to do his own thing, Jason Todd is RIP (but he comes back?!), Damien is his son biologically and the current Robin, Barbara Gordon is paralyzed by the Joker in The Killing Joke. But what's the timespan between all of these events and Year One? And there are some interpretations of The Killing Joke where Batman kills the Joker, but those can't be right because the Joker still appears in later comics (or is Barbara's paralysis separate from the Killing Joke?). And where does The Dark Knight Returns, Justice League, Crisis on Infinite Earths, New 52, and Batman Beyond fall into all of this? I'm guessing The Dark Knight Returns is just a fun "what if" scenario and not part of the chronology (because even that has its own Robin). New 52 just confuses me even more because I read it was supposed to be a redo for everyone, except Batman (he and a few others are the only ones who retain their memory from non New 52 stuff or whatever).
