The MIchael Keaton Multiverse?

  Everything happens somewhere... but somethings happen in more than one universe apparently.   Spoilers ahead, especially if you haven't seen the Flash movie yet.   I love identifying which universe everything happens in, but sometimes that's not such an easy task if I try to place everything in one particular spot.  I came across this with Scooby-Doo, thus I wrote the Scooby-Doo Multiverse with multiple timelines.  The one consistency of those timelines was the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, which seemed to take place in nearly every timeline, which diverged after that series.  (Most of those timelines but not all also included the New Scooby-Doo Movies).  So Batman (1989) is a similar situation it appears.

This post is about the Joker legacy, and there's a reason it is being posted on April 1.  Not only because the Joker would want it that way, but also because this post if full of fun theories from the TVCU Crew that you shouldn't take too seriously.  We're making a lot of stuff up here that should be considered apocryphal. Before I do the typical crossover chronology, I want to talk briefly about the Joker legacy in the TVCU.
