Batman visits the closed Blackgate Prison (built in the early 1900s, closed "five years ago"; it was probably reopened soon after this story. This is probably the earliest reference to it.
This story takes place over a week. Batman may appear in other stories during this week, but chronological analysis is incomplete.
