How is it 2023 when John Blake becomes the new Batman? I'd always assumed he found the cave a few months after Bruce's death, where did the specific 2023 date come from?

 

[THE WOLF]

I thought The Dark Knight took place 6-8 months after Batman Begins

That was never confirmed though. It was on a TDK DVD extra that wasn't shot by Nolan. So it's possible but so is a few years. I think there's a good enough argument for both.

The 2023 part was random and just speculation. Blake obviously finds the cave in early 2017. But does it take him 6 years to become Batman? Probably not. Maybe a few years tops. It would be more reasonable to write down 2019 or 2020.

The rest is the way I see it as well. Including the gap between TDK and TDKR information. And I stand by that, just like this guy does. And it's why I believe the Nolan brothers could easily make another Batman movie if they wanted (if the DCEU went to s**t and are afraid to reboot again so soon). The "clean slate" line from Batman, Alfred's line about Bruce not being down in the cave in a while, the "confirmed" sighting line being said by Blake. Yeah I totally agree with the article. For that at least.

The 2 years between Begins and Knight instead of 6-10 months is interesting. As well as Ras' line about Bruce fighting for "years".

 

[The Joker]

Joker's line "A year ago these Cops and Lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you" is very telling, as it had to be less than a year between BB and TDK.

Yeah I think it's about 10 months myself, but there is an argument for 2 years if you see that line as "batman didn't really make a mark until a good year or so into his crusade".
