Too soon

"The Batman" is Year 2

"The Penguin" takes place over the course of the end of Year 2 and the beginning of Year 3.

This Batman is raw and unpolished. He's still losing fist fights and barely has a cave.

He has barely established himself as playboy Billionaire Bruce Wayne.

He has no time or need for Robin.

Publication Timeline:

• Batman first appeared: Detective Comics #27 (May 1939)
• Robin (dikk Grayson) first appeared: Detective Comics #38 (April 1940)
  ⟶ So in real-world publication, Bruce was Batman for less than 1 year before Robin was introduced.

In-Universe (Comic Continuity) Timeline:


In most versions of Batman’s origin and continuity, Bruce Wayne becomes Batman around age 25 after years of training around the world. dikk Grayson is usually around 12–13 years old when he becomes Robin.

Writers and retcons have varied, but the general rule is:

Bruce operated as Batman solo for about 1–3 years before taking on dikk Grayson as Robin.

This is true across most major retellings:

Examples from Canon:

Batman: Year One (1987, Frank Miller)

• Focuses on Bruce’s first year as Batman.
• No Robin yet — very grounded and gritty.
• Robin comes later, not in Year One.

Batman: Dark Victory (1999, Jeph Loeb)

• Set during Batman’s second year.
• It introduces dikk Grayson and his origin as Robin.
• So: Robin comes in Year 2

The New 52 / Rebirth Continuity

• States Bruce was Batman for about 5 years total before the Justice League formed.
• Within that time, multiple Robins had already come and gone.
• So dikk became Robin in Year 2–3, again.

Summary:

Source	How long was Bruce Batman before Robin?
Publication (1939–1940)	~11 months
In-universe continuity	~1–3 years

You’re right on the money.

Robin has always joined Bruce 1-3 years after he becomes Batman.

 

[Rekkapryde]

What if Vic lives and becomes Robin in this universe?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

You’re right on the money.

Robin has already joined Bruce 1-3 years after he becomes Batman.

I knew I wasn't that far off lol. Grayson can definitely appear in this..
