Fun DC Theory Solves Burton & Schumacher"s Batman Universe Confusion

Batman has had various versions on the big screen so far, but there’s a lot of confusion between the Batman universes of Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher – luckily, there’s a fun theory that solves this in a very interesting way. After the 1966 movie Batman, which was an adaptation of the 1960s TV series starring Adam West and Burt Ward, the Caped Crusader returned to the big screen in 1989 in Tim Burton’s Batman, with Michael Keaton playing Bruce Wayne. The critical and commercial success of Batman made way for a sequel, Batman Returns, which was darker and more violent.
Tim Burton’s vision of Gotham City was dark but kept a comic-book vibe without being cartoonish, and while Batman Returns is now regarded as one of the best Batman movies ever made, Warner made major changes and for its next one, it brought Joel Schumacher as director and Val Kilmer as Batman. Batman Forever was a completely different version of Gotham and its characters, and its sequel, the infamous Batman & Robin, had another Batman now played by George Clooney. All this has created a lot of confusion about whether Schumacher’s Batman movies and Burton’s are part of the same universe or not, and a theory easily solves this by suggesting the former exists within the Burtonverse.
