Hollywood Executives discussing Batman verses Vader movie: Hollwood Executive says, "We received funding for creating a Batman verses Vader movie!" Senior Hollywood Executive responds, "Sure, but let's make Batman gay and black." Senior Hollywood Director says, "Lets include the son of Superman since he's gay in the comics." Senior Hollywood of Marketing yells, "We can have them both in a romance fighting Vader who's destroying planets with climate change!" Senior Hollywood Executive, "All wonderful ideas... lets make this happen and then blame the fans when it fails."

I dunno about you, but in my eyes, this is the canon ending. If Batman knew he was gonna die, he'd certainly have set it up so Superman would get freed, and deliver that one-liner.

Ya but lightsabers do not co exist throughout dc comics So I don't know how he found out lightsabers can help him defeat Darth Vader Despite Batman and Darth Vader being from separate universes

[@KaylasStarWorld]

​@danielsummeirs5217 i mean they did capture super man so they must have gone to earth or something in this fictional set up and heard about the Lightsaber Vader used and how it cut through anything before he fights him he looks at Vader's armoury and finds he has a Lightsaber stored there. I assume this takes place after a new hope since he finds Obi-Wans Lightsaber in vader's armoury.

These shorts are made by fans who don't have Disney or DC's budget and so they must pay attention to the small things to make up for their lack of A-list actors and high grade CGI. Plus, being fans, they probably want to put in the effor for this in the first place.
