Sounds like the Superman and Batman Magazine series might be the trickiest to track down, actually... Who sells magazines?

Resorted in terms of publication order (except for Harley and Ivy, & Batgirl Adventures which I basically put in an approximation of chronological order)

Possibly will add Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans Go, The Batman Strikes, and Super Friends later, if there's any interest.

Believe it or not, I actually went and tracked down the shipping weeks for the annuals and such as best as I could - individually. No real continuity reasons, since most of them could take place anytime, so I just stuck them in publication order. (note: This method of figuring out the shipping week involved two things: Reading the "Watch This Space" column in the comics to see what shipped the same week, and finding a website that listed what shipped for that year and narrowing things down as best as I could.)

I did take a rough guess at where to place Batgirl Adventures and Harley and Ivy- I just wanted a rough semblance of chronological order, which is why I put it that way. (Obviously Harley and Ivy had to take place SOMEWHERE before Batman Adventures 16.)

I may just put Batgirl Adventures in just after Lost Years 2, since your reasoning is pretty darned correct on that, especially since between 2 and 4 is a one year gap that would explain Batgirl's costume. (both BGA and LY 2 were published the same month, I believe.) In fact I will do that, just looking at the difference in Batgirl's costume.

So amendment here:

Lost Years 1-2, Batgirl Adventures, Lost Years 3-5.

I was tempted to do the 'what doesn't fit, put in another book' approach BillNolan sugested earlier, but ... eh, I just wanted a good mix of publishing + chronological order. I think it reads very well that way.

And one last fix to the list, since I did a quick approximation of page-counts and some of it is unbalanced. Anyone want to take a stab at an actual page-count?

Last comment: In reading Harley and Ivy 1-3, I keep getting the feeling I could stick Batman Adventures 14 in between 1 and 2 without any continuity issue, and still manage to keep a semblance of publication order. Since BA 14 was published the same month as H&Ivy 2, and there's a gap timewise between H&I 1 and 2, it seems to match up. Thoughts?
