Actually, it all spins down to being about Copyrights and Trademarks. If you don't own certain ones and can't "lease" the rights to certain things, names, costumes, even catch phrases, you don't get to use them. If you do use them without "permission" aka financial compensation, you get sued and lose your cred in the industry. Two of the worst and most confusing "worlds" that involve Copyrights and Trademarks are the Superman and Batman "Worlds". That's because DC wasn't very good at tying up copyrights and trademarks back in the day. Stan Lee got as famous in the movie and tv industry not for his creation of superheroes and comic book stories, but because he tied up numerous copyrights and trademarks pertaining to his work. He really was the first one in comic books that did it. There is some leeway in what is called "Fair Use" where you can use copyrighted and trademarked material in certain situations and not get sued. Plus, if you keep your use short and quick and it isn't plastered all over the world, nobody that does the lawsuits knows to come after you LOL. If they do, they often send C&D letters first because they don't want to waste money and time suing people that can't pay when they win LOLOLOL. My father-in-law, who is an award-winning actor and director doesn't even understand all of the crazy laws surrounding copyrights and trademarks. He tried to incorporate a "Batman" reference in one of his movies that he acted in and directed about him, his orangutan, and his brother in the "Underground" Fight World and they thought they had all the bases covered when they didn't. That reference had to be cut from the movie AFTER it had already been released. It was a very costly mistake, one he has NEVER made since LOLOLOL.

[@spideyfan244]

So here’s my question. There seems to be a Bruce/Batman across each Earth. But my question is, which one is the true Batman. This sounds odd I know but look at everyone else. Flash and Arrow both are on the same Earth aka earth 1 and are the proper versions of those characters. For supergirl and Superman, we see them on earth 38 as there proper selfs. But for Batman though, it seems he’s Batman across those earths. But which one are we actually going to see? Will we see the one on Earth 1 or Earth 38? It’s very confusing cause there’s Batman references across both earths, making it harder to identify which one were gonna see.

[@m-rots]

Flash and Arrow are both on (at least) Earth-3. It's mentioned by Reverse Flash that he came from (an assumed) Earth-1 but intentionally changed the past so that the Justice League wouldn't exist and that Barry wouldn't get his powers. After Barry learns that mother should have lived, he tried to fix it and ends up failing. He returns to the future, creating an identical Earth-3 in the process since Earth-2 Flash didn't exist until after Earth-2 was created. This is all assuming that they don't take in account of other universes in which the Justice League already exist so they could evidently be even further down the line.

[@jerrycorrea5974]

2:56 And that my friends, is a meme template if I've ever seen one.

[@vis_viva]

My favorite theory is that the Supergirl and Arrow/Flash universes are "broken". They should be one reality, and there are still some things missing. Bruce Wayne in the Arrow/Flash universe is just Bruce Wayne his parents never died. The "vigilante" in the Supergirl universe isn't Batman, but some other stand in. Wonder Woman is MIA. Somehow one universe was "broken". Arrow/Flash are one universe with existing elements trying to take the place of some of the missing bits (with Green Arrow taking on the Batman role, and the Flash taking on the Superman role). One of the larger fragments coalesced into the Supergirl universe. Superman was too much of a fundamental concept to be erased so the Supergirl universe formed, but bits are sill missing from it. I could see some grand arc for the Legends of Tomorrow in which they have to fix the broken universe. The saddest part would be needing to make sure Bruce Wayne's parents meet their tragic end. Perhaps Joe Chill had been killed as part of the universe-breaking and the Legends have to save the small-time crook without knowing why (though perhaps Rip knows).

[@jordlittlejohn1506]

Everything about these shows is cringy

That's how Harley's voice always was.

[@LegitStryker]

Her voice is somewhat like that, but never on that level of cringe.

[@saidelwaber9903]

quickSpectre good point

[@Werewolf914]

I've been asking that same question for years.

[@kylefrank638]

If I remember correctly, Hunter Zolomon mentions Atlanteans and Aquaman exist on Earth 2, so I guess the Justice League there only consists of Jay Garrick and Arthur Curry..?

[@calebl.4351]

Adam Khouri oh snap

[@Werewolf914]

The newest episode of Black Lightning his daughters girlfriend is reading The Outsiders comic so maybe on their Earth he's fictional, but exists on Supergirls Earth and Earth 1&2? I wish we'd get a cameo even if it's just his Silhouette kind of like Superman in season 1 of Supergirl, maybe on the Titans show it'll happen, I mean Nightwing is in it and you need Batman to have Nightwing.

[@TheArthasmenethril]

Same can be said for Oracle and Harley Quinn their requirements have a Batman.

[@StrivedeLaLear]

I anticipate Nightwing saying "the big guy" a lot in Titans.

[@b.parker1740]

Yeah, and she also wore like a black leather cat costume to a superhero themed ball (and referenced Supergirl). Also, the original Teen Titans cartoon did manage to get away with a Robin without Batman technically showing up. Then again, it would be weird with DC's current obsession with putting him in everything to avoid it in a show with Nightwing in.

[@thechrisman22]

The creator of black lighting said that there show is in a totally different universe unfortunately

[@b.parker1740]

Yeah. It's kind of sad because it looks very good from what I've seen of it. It's not like Seasons 2-4 Flash or Arrow Seasons 3-6 (not counting 5) where the sharks have been jumped and the cousins have been Oliver'ed (if those references make sense).

[@kwartylion8134]

[@heroeus8173]

The original plan was to make a series on batman but DC refused thus They adapted arrow instead and since for a majority of people both are quite the same They kind of make arrow a batman eco+ with a bow Bruce and oliver has some similarities But batman and arrow clearly doesn't have some

[@hamzanasirr]

Oracle is a real TECH company actually.

[@samuellp65]

Buts it's taken by another girl on the computer

[@vincentpalermo3452]

Think it's referencing Babs in the comics though.

[@thewerewolff7248]

yes but she could still call herself oracle. hes clearly referring to another "girl in the chair" vigilantes

[@sandyscrapwitch2064]

Reminds me of how in Agents of Shield and Daredevil they always refer to the Avengers hero as "guy with the hammer/shield" or "the big green guy"

[@BlackPuma124]

In Luke Cage they name dropped Tony Stark

[@CatsClaw44]

Yep!

[@jamealjordon1376]

So, basically, they went back to Pre-Crisis 1984 and back, with the multiple Earths and such. At least this Superman is a bright sort, versus his big screen incarnation.

[@Rathkryn]

Pre-Crisis there were infinite Earths. They went with "The New 52" where there's 52 Earths. Even though there's actually 53 but the last one is so bad nobody wants to talk about it.

[@virtualpellot933]

Lucas Akame how bad?

[@SuperheroinDisguis]

virtual pellot Nazis won WWII and rule the world bad.

[@MrAutobot390]

virtual pellot Just watch the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover event spanning all four shows. Starts with Supergirl, goes to Flash, Then Arrow, and finally Legends

[@alphagamer9505]

no,crisis on earth-x is supergir -arrow-flash-legends

[@enumiosu]

‘The outsiders’ on the last scene... I thought they were talking about the greasers and socs ‘I think it’s a really awesome book’ lmao.

[@whogoncutdagrass41]

One of the best books and movie I read and seen

[@fishpanto]

“I’ve seen Men of Steel die and Dark Knights fall.” So the plural bothers me. Is this a reference to Crisis on Infinite Earths? The story to that is a huge villain (Anti-Monitor) brings the dimensions together to fight him (Earth 2, Earth 3...etc). Very possible.

[@Tenebris_PR]

He is talking about time traveling. Multiple characters have taken the mantle of Batman and DC One Million even makes reference to the "Superman Dynasty"

[@zigsterabs7439]

Dapper Penguin Men of steel = superman AND superboy Dark knights = the bat family (e.g batman, robin, night wing etc) So he’s probably referring to superman and batman in the arrow universe (if they’re still alive)

[@TheKenard10]

So batman/Bruce is on 3 different earths, but superman is only in one?

[@cmgriffith]

There's no reason he isn't. Earth-1 Krypton may have never been destroyed.

[@ultimativerHexer]

Bruce Wayne doesn't have to be Batman on all 3 Earths.

[@nickx2758]

On earth-2 Oliver's father is arrow, maybe something like that happens with superman

I’m pretty sure Mr. West said “Hey jimmy” as for Jim Gordon 1:43

[@doctorstrange2768]

Lil Dom You could be right!

[@POPINCONEJO88]

I think the show Gotham is going to be the origin of Bruce Wayne in the Arrow verse, I know in the show he's still young only like currently 15 years old, but if you notice they still have flip phones, and never see modern day cars or even technology or social media plus it is never confirmed what year it takes place, so it could take place in the early mid 2000. it's a bit of a stretch but wold be really awesome to see the rise of Bruce Wayne leading to Arrowverse.

[@thatonekid9008]

Hopefully with the sale fox and Disney owning Marvel, Gotham will move to the CW.

[@POPINCONEJO88]

ThatOneKid marvel? This is DC lol wrong comic books lol

[@thatonekid9008]

Lol I am talking about Disney owning marvel. So when they own fox they won't want anything to do with Gotham because it is DC Lol Catch up on the news lol

[@nighthawk6198]

it would be so awesome to have batman make an appearance in the arrowverse it probably will not happen but it would be cool none the less

[@tylermcdoogle1046]

Tyler McElwee No it wouldn't if he appeared on Arrow he'd get his butt kicked by Oliver which would suck and let's not even discuss how nerfed he would be on super girl Lena Luther would probably kick his ass on that show. None of the arroverse shows would be able to do a good batman

[@Mukation]

If he appeared on Arrow he'd probably fight Oliver to a stand still and later joke about who would've won. DC would not allow Green Arrow to beat Batman, but the CW would not allow their main character to loose a fight like that. If he appeared on Supergirl, he most likley appear togheter with Superman. But let's be real, they'd never let Batman appear on Arrow or Supergirl. MAYBE he'll appear on Titans one day because of Robin (Like Superman on Supergirl).

[@Halracc]

Little did he know that 3 years later his content would change

[@klassickaden3494]

So Batman exists in the Supergirl universe but not the Arrowverse

[@rayvar_lothson43345]

Kaden J no he exists in the Arrowverse too. Oliver literally calls out Bruce Wayne in this video and in season 6. So maybe he’s not Batman but Bruce definitely is in the Arrowverse.

[@itsyagurluwu5084]

Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow are all set in the same universe.

[@Tenebris_PR]

No, Supergirl is from Earth-38, the other shows are on Earth-1. We have yet to know from which Earth Black Lighting hails. Kaden - Batman must exists in the Arrowverse because without The Joker there is no Harley and without Batman there is no Joker

[@StrivedeLaLear]

The Supergirl universe is a part of the Arrowverse.

[@Dirtymane1]

Not true ... She just crosses over into the Arrowverse from time to time! Remember when Sisqo and Barry went to her Earth for help in the first crossover? Sisqo complemented her on "her" universe in that episode!

[@sayansaha155]

I love how in Arrowverse the Batman is so much of a symbol.

[@evanl474]

Bruce: Way to throw me under the bus and have me investigated now

[@william3949]

Can we assume that Batman is a character in the arrow verse we just haven’t met yet cause in Oliver’s and Kara’s earth both make references to Batman especially in arrows verse. I mean all they need to do is have a common enemy and have him drop in I mean come on

[@callianr6980]

Well, there's also the problem with Rights. They may not have explicit permission to use Batman/Bruce Wayne outside of references.

[@william3949]

If it’s like the smallville thing I’ll be mad like oh yeah you can call him Clark Kent and he can be Superman but you can’t call him super man or have him in the suit

[@SomeSadKnickFan]

I think Bruce Wayne lives on Flash and Arrow’s earth but he isn’t Batman, but in supergirl’s world there is Bruce Wayne who became Batman

[@bryansteele832]

5:37 She is actually referring to the novel "The Outsiders" that was later made into a film starring Ralph Macchio, and Patrick Swayze.

[@DuskVRCYT]

The Babel protocol being in Barry’s suit is hilarious. I just imagine Bruce dialing Cisco on a secure line like: “First off, I know who Barry Allen is, we’re coworkers. Second off; mind doing me a quick favor?” Cisco: “Uhhh. Okayy?” “Here download this zip file.”

[@weredumb1015]

he forgot one for the flash in season 1 when he got the nerd survival kit the first comic book he pulled out was a batman comic

[@Iliadic]

Rip saying "I've seen Men of Steel die and Dark Knights fall" is a line that goes WAY too hard for a CW show.

[@andreww.376]

"Masks are only big in that other city" could apply to so many things, not just Batman.

I love how Batman being a human being with no super powers is somehow more mystical to beings that has super speed or caped wonders. It's almost like hes a mythical legend, so legendary even worlds like Mortal Kombat acknowledges Batman as some sort of folklore. He's just so damn badass.
