From his wikipedia bibliography, I can't find any title he's been on for over a year since 1992, when he hopped off X-Men. He drew Uncanny X-Men for almost a year uninterrupted and then he did the first year of the second X-Men title uninterrupted.
DC to REBOOT???

Lee has 12 issue stretches on both BATMAN and SUPERMAN in recent-ish years. Batman was mostly on time (until the end) and Superman had some lateness issues.
ALL STAR-BATMAN was plagued by lateness--I think there was a year between issues at one point. Then there was the AUTHORITY relaunch where he got one issue out before it crashed and burned (or maybe 2?).

Yeah, I was thinking that, when Lee isn't trying to work two full-time jobs, he's not an especially slow artist.
But--although I'm less aware of how much his job at DC entails than how much his job at Image and later Wildstorm must have entailed--my concern would be, if I cared about Johns' Justice League, which I do not, that having those two creators also working what seem like full-time jobs on the side is a bad idea.

It's more like 20 years.

From what I've read, under the reboot Batman's been operating for only five years, not twenty.

The whole thing seems pointlessly convoluted with what has and hasn't happened.
Should have just been a clean reboot.

The present day of the New DC universe is five years after the first appearance of the Superheroes. However, I'm guessing that they will have Batman running around in the shadows for a few years first - but nothing like 20 years.
^ Yup. But even going through four Robins in ten years is a bit excessive.
The fictional time-lines in DCU or Marvel have never made any sense and never will - you either decide not to think about it, you stop reading or you go mad....
Marvel's did for about a half decade in the mid and late sixties.
The Ultimate line's did too, for a while (maybe for its entire existence, upright men abandoned that foul place when Jeph Loeb came upon the scene). I would say that would be one of the advantages (however brief) of a serious reboot.
They knew the job was dangerous when they took it.
Or they didn't, which is why Bruce picks children (that and the hot-pants he likes them to wear).
Oh, I know. It honestly doesn't bother me, except for moments where you realize that Tim Drake was in high school for 15 years of publication time.
With the reboot almost here, I cannot help but wonder what sorts of new superdickery we'll be getting in the pages of Action Comics, Justice League, and Superman? Hopefully, it'll be updated and more-relatable.
Well, if he wasn't always out having adventures, maybe he'd be able to do his homework and actually pass his classes.

Sorry, that just made me think of the scene I just read in Last Son, where Clark tells Chris/Lor-Zod that he can't meet Batman untill he's sixteen and Wonder Woman until he is eighteen. I don't about anybody else, but if I were to have kids in the DCU, I don't think I would want them hanging around Batman. I really don't think he would be the greatest influence on a well adjusted kid.

There is a nice little bit later on in that story where Chris is talking to Supes and is all excited that he was able to meet, of all superheroes, Robin. "I even got to meet Robin!" I think is what he said.
Since it's a new magazine, probably. That said, look at cover galleries from the 1980s and 1990s and you'll see it was Batman: Detective Comics for the longest time. And in the 1970s (for those of us who actually appreciate comic book history, as opposed to certain penny counters at DC) the comic was branded "Batman in Detective Comics".

Superman had something similar in the 1990s with "Superman in Action Comics".
However, I think the relaunch of the title is still officially called Detective Comics with "Batman" added for more direct brand recognition. As you mentioned, it has been like that for a very long time.
