Earth-Two

Earth-Two was the original main continuity for DC comics and The Batman franchise. As a result its mainstream Batman events are set in the early-mid 20th century as Batman's first appearance here was in 1939.

Description

Earth-2 was created in a form of retroactive continuity within the Silver Age of comics. It is the official cannon of DC characters from the Golden Age of comics, roughly meaning 1935-1955 (with the exception of characters owned by Fawcett Comics and Charleston Comics respectively).
