"The multiverse has a way of aligning fates...It's written in the stars and in this book, or I wouldn't know that on this Earth, Clark Kent is Superman. Where I come from, that would be ridiculous. He can't see past his glasses."

Behind the scenes[]

  • Crisis Aftermath confirmed that this is the Batman from the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher films, even referring to the "Batnipples" as being canon.
    • Michael Keaton was asked to reprise his role as Bruce Wayne from the 1989 film Batman and its sequel; Batman Returns, but it couldn't be worked out. Had that happened, the newspaper Alexander Knox was seen reading would've borne the headline, "WayneTech CEO - Bruce Wayne to Marry Socialite Selina Kyle" (featuring a photo of Keaton's iteration of Bruce Wayne);[2] a reference to Batman's romantic history with Catwoman in Batman Returns and various other DC Comics' media.
    • There is some inconsistency in this however, as Batman never captured Joker in those films. The Gazette could possibly be referring to Joker's defeat and death at the hands of Batman.
  • In the DC comics, Bruce Wayne is a vigilante hero known as Batman, the protector of Gotham City, a man dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. He is also a former mentor of Dick Grayson/Nightwing, who is the protector of Blüdhaven, and an occasional ally of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Barry Allen/Flash, and Clark Kent/Superman, the latter third of whom is his most frequent ally.
