NopeI believe there are apps that will display it on the live tile.
I find is strange why they left such basic things as date/time and battery off the start page...

It's there... you just need a small swipe of the charm bar. I think it looks neater without a date and time stamped on the start screen. or a bar plastered along the top of the screen. I mean, how often do you have to look at the time that you constantly need it there?
Although, I do agree about having the battery percentage when displaying the time.
I really hate not being able to see the time when in a app in Metro, I am a clock watcher and this is unnerving.
Actually, since I haven't worn a watch in years it is VERY IMPORTANT to have the time available to me. Since Windows Phone 8 is locked down this is a core feature (it should either be available full time (like the competing OSes) or at least as an option.
Buy a watch.
