Can't the comic just happen in December after everything else? Also on the Catwoman thing I'm not sure if she stayed there the full 11 years before 1977 tbh, because Wonder Woman seems to not have seen her for a long time so I think the implication is she left paradise island by some unknown point in-between. Honestly it gels pretty well with the Vs Two-Face movie (set 2 years later) with her actually trying to finally reform into a hero and is in an actual relationship with Batman now. Just my take really on the Earth-66 reality

In the idea of a merged reality, I'd find it amusing that these two would likely know each other.
Are we sure Legends of Superheroes is 66 canon either? I've always seen Wikipedia label it as a Superfriends spinoff, just live action.
Are the Lois, Perry and Jimmy we see in Batman 66 actually themselves from the Adventures or are they just variants
They can probably be the same. Although Flash 2023 implied they were separate, at least pre-flashpoint. I know there's a point of contention with the Superman show having Batman comics but Batman is in his 30s in the Batman series so he could have just started in his 20s or something allowing there to be comics in the 50s

It has Batman, Robin and Riddler in it. It's a live-action adaptation of Superfriends within the 1966 continuity as far as I'm concerned.
Might be a reach, but technically each chronobowl is set at different points in time. Perhaps they are the same universe and Jay has just split off from the 1950s setting? Also, The Flash movie dealt with Earth-1 and Earth-89 being melded together, so maybe some universes had elements temporally split off from one other.
Honestly, the only major DC shows in that 1950s to 1970s period with barely any evidence of being linked is Shazam and Isis. It would have been cool if the young Billy Batson in Batman '66's final issue was a younger version of the 1974 TV series version who eventually joined the Justice League with a recast face.
See the Shazam series was made by filmation so I always saw that as practically being a Superfriends show in live action. Just made the most sense to me personally. I guess I wouldn't be against it being part of Earth-66 though.It has Batman, Robin and Riddler in it.

I mostly just want this Earth to be Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman because I think it's fun that each of them are from a different decade, it gives them each a really unique vibe
Also Green Hornet.... Technically due to the NOW comics every version of Green Hornet up through like the 90s iirc is the same continuity and part of the same family. They did get the year the TV Green Hornet started wrong though but that's just a minor continuity error imo, and doesn't take away from the intention of canon welding all 3 versions together (plus the Lone Ranger)

Yeah, no, I agree. It also fits with the aforementioned Superfriends-inspired Legends of the Superheroes. Batman and Wonder Woman talk about starting a team in a period of 1977/1978, then there's a Justice League in 1979. We don't see Wonder Woman and Superman but it's easy to imagine that they're the classic TV versions.
If someone can actually find a way to make that all fit, more power to them. Throw in the movie too, honestly. It'd be entertaining to see a merged Green Hornet thing.
I'd leave out the Dynamite comics just because that connects to the Dynamite pulp universe version of Lone Ranger which is different from the radio show one. Plus that brings in Dynamite Zorro which is part of the Tarantino Realer than Real universe iirc (I know the Prophecy crossover implied all those might be part of an even bigger Dynamite universe but I don't see any reason to think the Time Dagger can't also access alternate universes. Those time window cameos can be alternate universes for all we know. One of them is literally Project Superpowers which practically has to be it's own universe seeing as how radically different it is as a present day Earth with alt history stuff)
Legends of the Superheroes and the Wonder Woman crossover are weird to fit together because you either have to put Legends before the crossover to make sense of Robin not being Nightwing yet, or place it after so Wonder Woman's talk about forming a league actually makes sense as a tease
Also it's crazy to think how Showa Godzilla was almost part of this universe because of that cancelled Batman 66 crossover film. I still hope we get a comic adaptation of the cancelled script but it probably won't happen

Just say he became Robin again. Why not? He's flexible.
I really want to do a full Earth-66 timeline with all crossovers and everything. I started one but can't find the motivation to continue it rn. I actually found some reasonable cut off points for crossovers so it doesn't turn into Tommy Westphal but there's still like over 1000 episodes of content I would have to go through

How do you cut off Charlie's Angels from the 1970s sitcoms? That must be insane.
I forgot how but I think you can cut off the sitcoms at the sitcoms that appeared on the love boat because most of them don't have real crossovers outside of Brady but that show can be discounted anyway because one of their spinoffs had a different wonder woman or something iirc

Zachary Smith from Lost in Space should be 21 in Batman '66, which is very funny.
