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. Let's start at the beginning.   In 1989, Tim Burton rebooted the Batman franchise with a smash hit film starring Michael Keaton.  This movie was followed by a sequel, Batman Returns.  And then Joel Schumacher to...

Welcome to the New TVCU.... Pretty Much Same as the Old TVCU.... Almost...

So Crisis is ended.  The Multiverse was restored, but changed.  And while Earth-66 was not shown to be restored, several other worlds were, and there's nothing to say it wasn't.  So we can keep our TVCU. But going forward, I'm going to take the opportunity to restructure a bit of TVCU Multiverse theory.  Perhaps we can consider Batman'66/Wonder Woman'77 a "Post-Crisis" comic.  If Earth's 1, 38, and Black Lightning can be merged, why not the worlds of Batman'66 and Wonder Woman'77?  Into a Television Crossover Universe?  So that's what I'm going with.  Also note the world of Super Friends was identified as Earth-1938.  I like that because it avoids confusion with Earth-12, the DC Animated Universe.  Also now I can mention that the DC Extended Universe was shown to exist, even beyond the multiverse that was destroyed, yet still connected to the Speed Force.  So the TVCU Mulitverse.  I think going forward...

Superman: The Movie: A TVCU Timeline

Superman'78 came from a very different Krypton, one that exploded actually thousands of years ago and where the architecture was based on an advanced crystal technology.  Kal-El came through a time portal and ended up in landing him in Smallville, Kansas in 1948 (though he had aged two years during his travel).  He was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent.  He moved to a Metropolis that is clearly New York City.  It has a Stature of Liberty and United Nations, and Rex Reed is seen at the Daily Planet.  Rex Reed worked in NYC in 1978. 1947 (or thousands of years ago)--Birth of Kal-El. 1948--According to Lex Luthor, Krypton exploded in 1978, even though Jor-El tells Clark that Krypton exploded thousands of years ago. 1951--Kal-El lands on Earth and is adopted by the Kents. 1965--Death of Jonathan Kent. Clark leaves to find his destiny. 1973 to 1986--SUPER FRIENDS-- Is this Superman the same one that is in the Super-Friends? It seems like he should b...
