When about in DCU time (esp.Batman) does DC2 take place? I'm mostly a Batman fan, so we'll go with him. About how many years after his return to Gotham after his training does DC2 Batman issue #0, #1 take place? Has he met all his main rouges yet?
Thanks,

In my Batman series, he's just started off. So... He left Gotham at 18 and returned at 25/26.
If you want, PM a villian you wanna' use and I can help. (Batman is my title until... Hell, I'm not saying...)
But all titles relatively take place six years since their debut.
And I'm introducing some of them villianous so and so's in my run. If and when I finish, the title will probably jump up to where Tec is, meaning they run side by side.

Do you mean six years from when the characters debut? So how far along would 'Tec be?

This is a good question, and I'm glad someone asked it.
To clarify what houseofmystery said, all regular continuity titles (with the exception of The Immortal Legend of Hawkman, JSA: Legends of the Golden Age and Batman) take place concurrently--- at the same time (so crossovers are a possibility). Batman takes place six years prior and Hawkman and JSA 60+ years prior, but all three are still in DC2 continuity.
If we measure time in the DC2 using as our starting point the debut of the first modern superhero, Superman, we are at, chronologically, DC2+6 (six years since Superman heralded in the modern age of heroes). Batman donned his mask the year after Superman, in DC2+1, and Wonder Woman showed up in DC2+3.
So the six years is not relative from the individual character's debut, but from Superman's; the modern age of heroes is six years old.
A interesting point of diversion from the DCU: our Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, will make his debut in the current timeframe. DC2+6 will be his rookie year (and, boy, what a year it will be for the Emerald Knight)!
Does that clear things up?

Yes, it does. So that means that Batman has met all of his main rouges (Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, Mad Hatter, poison Ivy, Vantriliquist, Riddler etc..) since he has already been on the job for five years (in Detective Comics, that is, I know you're using Batman as kind of an early years title).

You'd have to check with houseofmystery on who he plans to use (I know he plans to bring Batman up to the current timeframe eventually, but I'm not sure when), but I would say that yes, it's a good bet most of the rogues gallery will have made an appearance by Detective Comics Issue 0.
But you never know...! They don't call him the houseofmystery for nothing!

Aquaman has been out and about as the protector of the oceans for around three years in which he has become known to the public and has met other heroes. He liberated Atlantis and became it's King some number of years before.
