Batman/Superman Anthology Timelines

I thought Birds of Prey and Lois and Clark were supposed to be the same earth though

Not at all. That was just Mr. Selfishmisery's theory. It's not a bad one either, since Birds of Prey and Lois & Clark both use Burtonverse designs.

I would argue Lois & Clark is closer to the Burtonverse in regards to creator intent though. I guess we can't know for sure, but I would say so.

Where would the Burtonverse's Gotham and Metropolis be related to each other geography wise?

When you're watching Batman and Batman Returns, it's basically Schrödinger's Superman. Is it Dean Cain (Earth-89)? Is it Christopher Reeve/Brandon Routh (Earth-96)? Is it a dead baby version of Henry Cavill (Earth-1/Flashpoint)? Is it Nicolas Cage? You won't know until you decide which sequel you prefer, lol.

And when your watching Batman 89 or Returns you don't know if your looking at Earth 89 or 96 also

Reminds me of Halloween timelines. The 2018 timeline is completely different to both the 4-6 timeline and the H20 timeline despite the on-screen footage of the original film occurring identically. Schrödinger's Laurie Strode. Is she Michael's sister or not?

I could see Laurie still being Michael's sister in the H40 timeline but that's never publicly revealed but it still floats around as a rumor

I've had that idea float around myself too, but really, that's not the creative intent.

In your personal opinion when you watch 89 and Returns what universe do you see?

It would depend on which sequel I'm watching. I can't really say more than that, it's the only defining element that matters. I guess Earth-89 is typically considered the Batman film universe while Earth-96 is considered the Superman film universe, so we'll say Earth-89.

 

[iceman109]

It probably goes by the reality it originally was intended for

Also why is Batman 89 now set in 1995 instead of 1993?
