Batman/Superman Anthology Timelines

[iceman109]

Why is Batman Revolution set in 1991?

 

[Pro Bot]

It can technically be moved to July 1990.

So two Riddlers in the new continuation novels/comics with different names. There's no issue with that, just interesting.

The author responded to me about thst on Facebook.

If that screenshot does not work - I asked if the Riddler looks like Martin Short?

Reply - Its more complicated than you might think - but will make sense in the end!

It's gonna be like Batman Hush animated film probably and there's a Riddler imposter?

 

[Avilos]

Maybe but considering we just had a book with a Joker imposter I wonder if he would repeat the idea. Sure the Joker was dead and motivations would be different… not sure.

Maybe Edward Nygma is just using this other guy as surrogate.

edit regardless of who that is in Arkham in Echos that is years in the future. Curious how specific this will be. Without restricting future stories. Whether in another book or more comics.

Also in the Fountain of Youth episode ("The Chains of Forever") - Anton Arcane literally spouts "BLOODY HELL! It's Batman & Robin..." sarcastically when Swamp Thing and his human sidekick pop up.

Earth-66 maybe?

@Pro Bot when does the Brave and the Bold crossover take place on Earth 89?

It's on the Viewing Order ^^

 

[Joao99]

Where Superman returns game fits in the timeline?

 

[Joao99]

We could make a timeline with some cancelled movies

 

[Avilos]

So Batman 89 Echos #6 is finally out. With the long delays I have been mostly skimming issues after buying each. With the plan to read the whole thing at once. But now that it's all out I am completely indifferent to the whole thing.

As people who have written full reviews have said, it's impossible to look at all this and ignore the long delays. Which we have gotten no explanations for at all! Maybe if the actual content was incredible it would be easier to overlook. Yet it's mediocre at best. Reading the overall opinions on this and the novel I use to think I was much more forgiving than most. But seeing this last issue has changed my mind. Whatever the goals of Sam Hamm or John Jackson Miller I have this undefinable suspicion that someone at DC said "let's get as many villains in these things as possible".
Anyways.... got that off my chest.

Not a serious suggestion, just curios...

Is it even remotely possible for the Superman Anthology and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman to be in the same universe, depicting the same characters? Or are there hard no-headcanon contradictions?

Again, not suggesting to merge them, just a thought I had

Yeah... nah. Not possible.

Technically it's alright though, there's different sequels to Batman Returns so both versions of Superman can be canon for different Batman '89 universes.

 

[Pro Bot]

Lois & Clark has got a blu-ray release, finally.

 

[Zeitschiene]

Sorry, I need to verify if my understanding is correct:

Pre-Crisis Earth-89: Burtonverse
Pre-Crisis Earth-96: Donnerverse
Post-Crisis Earth-96: Donnerverse (merged with Burtonverse), aka Earth-789 in comics multiverse
Flashpoint Earth-89: The Flash
Post-Flashpoint Earth-?: The Flash (ending), Post-Flaspoint DCEU movies

 

[Pro Bot]

My interpretation:

Earth-89
Batman 1-4
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (possibly)
Catwoman

Earth-96
Superman 1-5
Supergirl
Batman 1-2
Human Target (possibly)

DCEU Flashpoint
Batman 1-2 (Alt.)
The Flash

DCEU Post-Flashpoint
Batman 1-4 (Alt.)
The Flash

 

[Zeitschiene]

My interpretation:

Earth-89
Batman 1-4
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (possibly)
Catwoman

Earth-96
Superman 1-5
Supergirl
Batman 1-2
Human Target (possibly)

DCEU Flashpoint
Batman 1-2 (Alt.)
The Flash

DCEU Post-Flashpoint
Batman 1-4 (Alt.)
The Flash

I think itvwould make more sense if Pre-Crisis Earth-96 and Earth-89 merged, similar to Earth-38 and Earth-1, and that altered past is the reason f.e. Lois & Co. of Earth-96 aren't dead in 2019

 

[Zeitschiene]

And why did you exclude Blue Beetle + Lost Kingdom from DCEU Post-Flashpoint? Thought they are confirmed to be set in here

It's complicated.
