What is the timeline for Nolan’s Batman considering the events of Ras Al Ghul in Batman Begins are based in 2005?


Batman Begins takes place in 2005. Based on this line by the Joker,

“Let's wind the clocks back a year: These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you, so what happened? Did your balls drop off? I know why you choose to have your "group therapy" sessions in broad daylight, I know why you're afraid to go out at night: The Batman.”
