Batman Anthology - Timeline (Outdated)

Yep.
Harvey Dent's scarring is different. He also discovers Batman's identity and apparently dies. Also, a different Robin, though that's easier to explain.

Only way they could be linked is if there's two District Attorney Harvey Dents who both had facial scarring. :p
Also, the artist confirmed it is an alternate timeline.
 
hay 5 periodicos en superman return que nos dan fechas sobre los hechos de las peliculas.
1 Superman la película en el Singerverse ocurrió en julio de 1977.
2 Superman II probablemente ocurrió entre enero y febrero de 2000 ya que el periódico del 3 de marzo de 2000 es de cuando superman dejó la tierra.
Louis escribiría su artículo sobre por qué el mundo no necesita a Superman en 2005 y, finalmente, Superman regresaría en septiembre de 2006.
Técnicamente dijeron que superman estuvo ausente por 3 años.
En el año 2000, entre enero y febrero, se produciría el Superman II del Singerverso, por lo que ese año habría habido Superman, pero no el resto del año.
2001 el primer año sin superman.
2002 segundo año sin superman.
2003 tercer año sin superman.
2004 cuarto año sin superman
2005 quinto año sin superman
2006 iba a cumplir 6 años pero en septiembre regresa superman despues de 5 años de ausencia total.

1. 1940s Batsuit
2. 1970s Batsuit
3. "Batman" Batsuit
4. "Batman Returns" Batsuit
5. Knightfall Batsuit (?)
6. Ice Batsuit (?)
7. "The Flash Batsuit

Maybe Keaton's Batman was around longer than he was implied to be, since it appears to be in order of chronology. I guess he probably just shot dead all the criminals for a while so there was no sightings of him, haha.

I think you're deifying him a bit, in Batman 89 it's implied that he's been Batman for a short time and there were few sightings of him. From 1989 to 2013 (the year the flash takes place) there are 24 years apart, Batman Keaton could easily have made those suits in that time after 1992. I repeat, it's 24 years, plenty of time for him to have created and used those suits.

I think he is just joking, is not implying that Batman literally shot dead all of his first foes.

I get that, but look at the suit timeline. The first suit has guns, like the original First Appearance Batman. I'm saying that he had few sightings because maybe he was under the radar - also just freaking shooting his enemies like he did in '39 comics.

So, his suit progressed over time basically. It's a retcon implied by these suits.

1987 - 1939 suit (has guns)
1988 - Blue suit
1989 - Batman suit
1992 - Batman Returns suit
1994 - Knightfall suit (?)
???? - ???? suit
2013 - The Flash suit

Lo entiendo, pero mira la línea de tiempo del traje. El primer traje tiene armas, como el primer Batman original. Estoy diciendo que tuvo pocos avistamientos porque tal vez estaba bajo el radar, también disparando a sus enemigos como lo hizo en los cómics del 39.

Entonces, su traje progresó básicamente con el tiempo. Es un retcon implícito en estos trajes.

Traje de 1987 - 1939 (tiene armas)
1988 - Traje azul
1989 - Traje de Batman
1992 - Traje de Batman regresa
1994 - Traje Knightfall (?)
???? - ???? traje
2013 - El traje de Flash

NoCouldn't he have used the first two suits a few months before? Why must it be years? Batman 89 starts in October 1989, Bruce could easily have used the first suit from January to April, the second from May to August and the one in the film from September , You're stretching it out to stretch, Keaton started in 1989
 
Maybe. It just seems strange that he'd make three suits over such a short period of time. I think one year (12 months) maximum at least, then.
 
One of the designers of those Batsuits has been posting on Twitter. Chris Weston said those holster are for grappler guns not firearms. I saw the original post. Here is a link to article on that. https://www.cbr.com/the-flash-batman-66-costume-grappling-guns/

Best guess is those early suits are prototypes. Given how early it was in his career in 1989 film it's doubtful he operated in those too long. Maybe some field tests at most. Needing holsters suggests the utility belt of the film not perfected yet. Not the more streamlined grappler guns.
 
Just to add food for thought, I asked the writer of Superman '78 when the comic takes place, and this is what he said...



But as he said, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Good job! It would be more helpful if they didn't make the Superman '78 and Batman '89 comics the same continuity unfortunately. There's always the option to ignore the Dark Crisis comic until a more substantial link is made, I guess? Hmm... I suppose the best way to satisfy the official words might be this?

Earth-89 - Burtonverse
Earth-96 (Pre-Crisis) - Superman Returns
Earth-96 (Post-Crisis) - Donnerverse
Earth-97 - Schumacherverse (semi-official number)
Earth-789 - Doppelgänger '78/'89 Reality (Comic Multiverse)

Note on Superman The Movie placement:

Lex says Krypton exploded on 1948, and it took three years for him to float to Earth, meaning he landed in 1951. Clark is stated to be 18 when Jor-El talks to him in the Fottess of Solitude, meaning that those scenes take place in 1966. 12 years pass, as per Jor-El, so the present day section is set on 1978.

No passage of time is stated in Superman II, so, as you said above, it is presumably set in 1980, when it came out.

Superman III is most likely set in 1983. The dates are very inconsistent in the film. It says its the 20 class reunion, which would imply 1985. But, as stated above, clark was 18 in 1966. Also, the Olympics that year in reality would be 1984, 1983. I would branch out a timeline from Superman The Movie, not Superman III.

Superman IV is fine where it is, but for simplicity sake I just place it in the year it came out, 1987.
 
I have reasonings for my placements if you read them, supported by prop dates. Superman IV is not 1987 because the film places itself in 1985. It's the 15 year reunion from the class of 1965 in Superman III, so 1980. Using that, we can assume Clark is 18 in 1965.

I am actually fine with that, though I would say that Superman II would be set the same year as the first Superman, as you know originally, they were intended to be one story, one right after the other. Also, wouldn't prop dates for Superman III place it in 1983?
