DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

I mean no disrespect from what I am about to say, but you have forced Lois & Clark into the Burtonverse timeline. Earth-789 be darned.

Earth-89 is confirmed to include the Schumacher films by the writer of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and Earth-789 includes Batman '89 (comic book), which is a different universe to the last two Batman films. It makes more sense that the alternate sequel to Batman Returns takes place in Earth-96 (Earth-789) while the film sequel occurs in Earth-89. Since Batman Forever and Batman '89 are different universes, they can have different versions of Superman. There's nothing being forced into the same timeline anymore than Catwoman (2004) or Human Target (2010-2011).

In any case, there's no contradictions between Lois & Clark and the Batman 1989-1997 film series. There are between the DCEU films and the DCU according to James Gunn himself. Can you really argue that they were trying to call a non-existent Justice League? (Again, there's more than the cameo that contradicts)

The Justice League haven't formed yet in the DCU's version of Peacemaker. Even ignoring the Justice League scene, they referenced calling the Justice League for help throughout the last episode. Therefore, it is not ONLY the Justice League scene that is different. James Gunn's statements suggest that those projects aren't canon but are an unreliable memory of what did happen in-canon.

I thought Batman Forever was Earth-97?

Earth-97 was a joke about Batman & Robin's release date. It's like if you asked what universe a Joker who looks like Jared Leto comes from and the answer was Earth-16.

When talking about Alexander Knox and Robin cameos, it was asked if Bat-Nipples were canon in that universe, and everyone said yes. I posted it a few pages ago on the Batman/Superman Anthology thread.

It's hard to argue with someone's head-canon.

If you're referring to me, you're actually referring to the head-canon of Marc Guggenheim, who wrote the crossover.

"So the Bat-Nipples existed in this universe (referring to episode 1's Earth-89)." [everyone says yes, including the screenwriter of the episode]

If you watch the whole conversation, it is obvious that they're agreeing that the Schumacher films are Earth-89.

"Because the movie has one reference to the Michelle Pfeiffer Selina Kyle Catwoman [...] I'm linking it to the Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher Batman Universe, and that universe was linked to Crisis on Infinite Earths [...] with Earth-89."

Rotworld

The story begins as Swamp Thing and Animal Man emerge from the Rot one year into the future, to find that the Rot has overrun the planet, and overtaken any and everyone save those who have a connection - if tenuous - to the Red or the Green. The story unfolds as two separate arcs: [[Animal Man...

I think The Rot will the main threat in Creature Commandos, not Circe, but somehow this ties to the Princess for unspecified reasons.
Plus I think you see zombies in Circe's vision of the future.
