Is this the same Burton Batman???


I ask because Wayne Manor and The Batcave don't look the same as in those films...

reply

The thing I notice most is that it is the Burton Batman but not in the gothic Burton environment.

reply

I thought the manor looked like it did in B89, but not how it did in Returns. As for the cave, someone somewhere did some shot comparisons from the Burton movies and from what we've seen so far of The Flash and it fitted pretty well, it was just that we seem to be seeing more of it this time around (additional levels?).

reply

Its difficult to figure out ,

did Barry's time travelling create the actual Burton-verse?? (where Shannon's Zod turns up in 2013 and there's no Superman* in existence but a supergirl, and Eric Stolz is Marty mcfly) or is it not the same Keaton batman from Bat89/Returns ??

*Id always imagine Reeve to be the superman of the Burtonverse, (or at least Cage)

reply

I don’t understand why the butterfly effect from keeping his mom from being killed would cause baby Kal-El’s spaceship to be intercepted by Zod decades earlier.

reply

Well, DC's theory of time-travel is that it's like dropping a pebble in a river. When you do that the ripples go in all directions, not just in the direction that the river is flowing.

reply

no, only in two directions, from the nexus point, past and future are both changed

reply

The ripples radiate outwards. That affects both past and future.

reply

Did you not watch the movie?

They very clearly showed it was a straight line

reply

Yes, I watched the movie. I also said DC's theory of time-travel. That's the way DC rationalises time-travel to show how/why both past and future are affected, for example in the original Flashpoint. Keaton's explanation was essentially another way of showing the same thing for the movie, that time-travel affects both what comes before and what comes after. The effect goes both ways.

reply

past and future is only two directions, which is exactly what i said

reply

We're basically saying the same thing.

I think it created a mash-up of the pre-existing Burtonverse and the DCEU. At the end when Barry went back and let his mother be murdered he prevented that mash-up from ever happening, The Burtonverse and the DCEU returned to being separate.

reply

Yes thats the best explanation, a mash of Burton and DCEU, that timeline was wiped at the end anyway (so Keatons Batman still exists in his own timeline free from any DCEU incursion) and then the end scene of a mash of DCEU and B&Rverse which is presumably how it will be left. which is kind of apt considering what a mess the DCEU turned outπŸ˜„

The Flash and Batman 89 were both filmed at Knebworth House for the exterior and Hatfield House for interior (actually also Batman Begins). So it is the same Wayne manor. The Batcave was mostly a stage, so had to be fully rebuild anyway.
