Why can't Earth 97 become canon as Earth 95 regardless of the cancelled sequel plans though

 

[Pro Bot]

Then again it's a joke so it could be molded to be canon (which it would be called Earth 95)

And if that's the case why can't Earth 95 be canon?

Why can't Earth 97 become canon as Earth 95 regardless of the cancelled sequel plans though

I feel like that's like asking an atheist "why can't God be real?" I have no idea how to answer a question like that. (Not attacking religions BTW, just that you can't really convince someone of something by asking why it can't exist.)

"Why can't this thing I made up be canon?" Well... it could. It's not though. In theory, Iron Man 3 could be a different universe to Iron Man and Iron Man 2 if you ignore the fact that they're sequels and have already been designated. If some Marvel guy made a joke about Iron Man being Earth-2008, you'd be asking why can't that be canon, and once again, I'd make the argument that it's a joke and part of an existing universe already, and you'd respond with the argument that we could ignore all that and follow the joke.

In any case, Crisis Aftermath acknowledges that 1995-1997 are Earth-89, and jokes that Arnold's Mr. Freeze comes from Earth-97. If we're using your source, we have to acknowledge everything in it. Since they confirmed it's set in Earth-89 as well, then we work with that.

The Mister Freeze from Earth 97 is probably a variant then

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah, could be.

 

[iceman109]

And in all honesty I didn't mind that Gotham looked different in Catwoman anyway

 

[iceman109]

Idea what if the canceled sequels are Earth 9597

I personally don't think Catwoman took place in Gotham. It might have, but I just don't think it did.

Where do you think it's set?

 

[selfishmisery]

Where do you think it's set?

Southern California it looks like. San Jose or around there, not far from Shaq's Steel lmao.

Unrelated to this thread, I think Birds of Prey (TV Show) and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman fit in the same world tbh.
(Maybe 2011 Wonder Woman and the 1997 JLA pilot too in that secondary 90s/2000s TV universe)

Yeah, suppose so. Both are kind-of Burtonverse adjacent.

 

[iceman109]

I mean why can't it be Gotham City though? It doesn't really look West Coast to me

Where would the Birds of Prey Gotham and Lois and Clark Metropolis be?

 

[iceman109]

Would this also (hopefully) be the last timeline modification?

That's always the hope.

 

[Rojinn]

Any chance you'll do a Lois & Clark Timeline in this thread as it is Burtonverse adjacent?

If the Burtonverse and Donnerverse merged Post-Crisis to Earth-96/Earth-789, is it possible that Earth-66 and Earth-76 merged to Earth-66 post-crisis? That could explain the crossover Comic, rather than have it only in one of the continuities

1. The Burtonverse and Donnerverse may have merged into Earth-96. However, I've changed my timeline to reflect this:

Earth-89/Burtonverse
1989 - Batman
1992 - Batman Returns
1995 - Batman Forever
1997 - Batman & Robin
2002 - Batman: OnStar 1x01-1x06
2009 - Catwoman
2019 - Supergirl 5x09, "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 1" [Pre-Crisis]
2013 - The Flash [Alternate Timeline]

Earth-96/Donnerverse
1989 - Batman
1992 - Batman Returns
1995 - Batman '89 #1-6
1997 - Batman '89: Echoes #1-6
1998 - Batman vol. 3 #135
1998 - Dark Crisis: Big Bang

This is because Earth-97 was inherently non-canon and was always just a unofficial number based on release dates, and that there's two different universes with the events of Batman 1989-1992, and only one of them are canon with Superman (1978-2006) while the other was pretty much confirmed to be Earth-89 to begin with.

2. It's always possible that Earth-66 and Earth-76 did merge, I agree with that.
