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.

​@@thomasjoseph5876 he wasn't folk lore in supergirl tho

​@thomasjoseph5876 what's the movie called

@@jacthomas-qk6djjust look up, “arrow verse shows”

⁠@@thomasjoseph5876 u must be fun

Thats the power.of batman. U know. Because he batman

That's Batman's schtick. The guys in the Arrowverse don't know if he's real or myth. Hell, they don't even know if Batman is human or a giant bat with all of that darkness, vanishing, and summoning bats.

The Rageaholic people don’t believe in em because the people he catches talks about him like he is some monster so police would easily think they are crazy etc also that no one ever really sees him

I feel like the main thing to keep in mind is that it seems like he’s only a myth on Earth-1, but he’s publicly well-known and actually worked with Superman on Earth-38

It is also worth noting that he uses a lot of stealth and works In nighttime mostly so no one really sees him

A.G I just noticed

Affirmative

That was incredible. Mad it was deleted.

Omg!! This is the first time i hear Harley in the scene right before this one

That was epic 😂

Nah, it's probably because he's new... so he thought it's worse...

He left Gotham

You dont go to gotham to live. Its like standing on train tracks waiting for a train to hit

he is not Superman so no

Vincent le he left Gotham on earth 1 not earth 38

You mean the Doctor?

Wdym by after the crisis?

Random comments I think he means the scene where Batman and bat woman were in that earth where Batman kills superman

@@aryantyagi4915 crises on infinite earths that crisis, the crises where the whole multiverse was destroyed but oliver sacrificed is life twice and the second time he created earth prime which is a mix between earth one earth 38 and whatever earth black lighting is from so just pretty much the earths from every cw show

@@muhlheimjm6690 expect lucifer's

@@maxalaintwo3578 Haha, valid answer.

wilson fisk? oh wait nevermind he's actually not in the dc universe nor does he do stuff Legally

@@maxalaintwo3578 Jeff bezos😭😭😭

Jeff bezos looks kinda weak ngl

Or the writers don't want to have all of these justice league characters come to play. I mean superman was all we got close to what they always talk about and martian green hunter and that black guy that works for catco in super girl.

From our perspective, he's really just a myth. You only hear rumors in Gotham

Everyone still seems scared of him

Yancey James of course they are that’s Batman’s whole schtick. No one believes he’s human they think he’s a giant bat monster. At first no one tought he was even real, and that might be the case for Supergirl (possibly in Arrow and the Flash) no one outside of Gotham has heard of him or beloved he exists as well

Yancey James ofcourse they are he's Batman for god's sake.even Superman's terrifyed of him.wouldn't you be?

Beerus,no seriously its stated in the comics that there must always be a batman

*Moves to Gotham* *Gets kidnapped and tortured by Joker, Scarecrow and the gang* Home sweet, home.

Ehhh. He couldve been talking to any Jimmy or Jim. But im pretty sure he wouldnt call Jim Gordon Jimmy,considering he doesnt know who Jim Gordon is.

@@Chee.Y4ng He might, they haven't gone into Joe's background much other than him being a cop and the stuff with his ex wife

It depends if it's Jimmy who wears a bowtie or Jimmy who wears a ... trenchcoat?

true.

Psst... Its cuz if they do a big bad team of lawyers sues them.

The One Above All yes lol

Kc Horton They werent sued when they mentionded Batwoman, Bruce Wayne, and Batman multiple times in Crisis

@@sinquiz5730 They can reference the character but can't actually show him or talk about him for more than 2 seconds cuz Warner Bros execs said fuck no when they asked to adapt him into the Arrowverse.

@@kchorton9007 no they included his name in crisis on infinite earths

Ikr? Lol, I'd take a flying laser shooting good guy over a city infested with serial killers and psychopaths.

Oh yes, I’d love to live in a crime-infested hellhole. Mutant crocodile men in the sewers, cat women stealing your shinies, the DA robs two banks twice every day every two months. Sounds like fun! Where’s the estate agent??

Taxes?

RobinMelons No! Don’t speak of the forbidden things

That Cloudy Guy At least the city isn't threatened to be completed annihilated by space lasers every other day. There are plenty of Gothamites that have never even seen Batman.

Why does warner brothers not want to share their characters. The dceu is trash

They get pissed about using the name Oracle, but you have straight up Harley Quinn, name-dropping Gotham and Blackgate and tons more name-checked references are fine? Hell, Arrow MENTIONS ORACLE BY NAME and they don't mind it THEN?

@@UltimaKeyMaster probably bc there’s a bit of a difference between name-dropping, and making a pop culture reference; and actually using/writing a character they seemingly don’t have the rights to.

Wym? Half the villains in this show ARE Batman villains lol

Omega Wolf a bit too on the nose. Like that Superman appears episode where the cuts were specific ass like "a little steel under that wheat"

Anti monitor from Crisis on infinite earth?

Bruce Wayne as Batman, then later Dick Greyson while Bruce was dead. Maybe even Azreal who went crazy and killed as Batman. Theres also Terry Mguiness as Batman Beyond. As Waller would later say "Gotham always needs a Batman. So you could say that even Terry recruited a Batman in his old age, and so on and so on. And Rip has seen them all die out one by one. Even watching Batman beat Superman as an old man with an equally badass line "I want you to remember Clark, in all your most private moments, the one man who beat you!"

Omega Wolf because it is earth two

Could also reference other heroes with similar names. For example there is Steel/Henry Irons. He literally wears a suit of armor made from steel that functions like Marvel's Ironman's suit.

Hahahaha i would have loved superman never appeared too

thats the thing, i want to see him, but a good adaptation, batwoman was announced to be in the new season of arrow

+Michael O'brian They neutered Superman in Supergirl. He’s literally weaker than Supergirl :/

Let’s see how they handle Batwoman first. That’ll be a good indicator of how they’d handle the Bat.

I agree, but too bad they already got superman.

LOL. Boi you after batnudes! 😂😂

They can't do that

D e a d P o o l why are you here? Get back to your universe!

Flash 4x01 look in the back of the bar ;)

I wonder if we will get an amalgam or marvel/dc crossover movieverse

Cause Batman villains don't be messed with, batman allies get a ton of respect for it, and most importantly king of heroes Batman is the badass who can put through all that shit.

Why is it white

@@rllydeaigo Deadshot was always white, if That’s what your asking. The only reason he was African American in Suicide squad was because Will Smith, was the actor.

@@rllydeaigo now your comment is literally filled with racism. Lmfao

Is that supposed to be dead shot?

It's a clunky show...

Yeah just say Gotham lmao

I thought it was pretty close to TSS Harley

If my memory serves me right That was Tara Strong the VA of Harley in the cartoons They probably asked CW to tone it down and make sound an easter egg

that.. was literally Tara Strong

It sounded good to me.

Chris Mendez okay and? Doesn’t mean it can’t sound bad

Sam Neale He’s just that awesome

stfu

and poor Hal is only referenced 2 times

Damn now I feel a little sorry for Hal. Green lantern is still my no.1 fav because of those awesome powers through the ring.

He's in Gotham tho lel

You want some real hype Elseworlds crossover teasers

Few WWE wrestlers also appeared on Smallville as Kryptonian villains.

Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever get that in this universe

it’s for the best that cw does not touch batman

Another?

That wasn't Batman, it was the Space Ghost.

Vis Viva Why do you suggest the vigilante in Earth38 is not Batman/Bruce Wayne?

Anyone notice that during the phone scene in Flash, the other names besides Flash were 'Hal' and 'Diana' as in Hal Jordan and Diana Prince?

I highly doubt that's true. Or at least the Batman part. When Jimmy and Winn were talking about "Superman's friend", Winn puts his index finger to his head, clearly trying to imitate Batman's mask.

Vis Viva OMG THAT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE

finally a plot I can get behind

Stan pee*

saket adarsh stfu

BigBangVince DC BETTER THAN MARVEL

@@jmilliolapuertorriqueno9559 fuck off

Anubhav Ghosh take your own words as advice.

I mean yea different earths have different Batmen

*Billionaire*

Then why don't you take this video down and replace it with a corrected video?

The Black Lion darn, beat me to it

The Black Lion there was a reference in Supergirl season 3 episode 9 which actually confirms batman exists

Don’t worry dude i did the same twice for my PlayStation account

Oh yeah i didn't notice that

There are multiple flashes

He could still be friends with them

I think it’s just a cool easter egg

On Earth 1 (Arrow, Flash, Legends) Bruce Wayne exists but he's not Batman. On Earth 38 (Supergirl's Earth) Batman exists.

Earth 38 is the same as Gotham's batman

No its not.

Mike White I would argue that he does exist in Earth 1 due to the existence of Harley Quinn and Oracle.

Mike White he's Batman in both universes

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.

Spidemus Prime SuperGirls earth cause in an episode she says my Cousin fought a Vigilante when she learns about guardian

Chris Heidke no In Season 2 Flash Learnes he was on earth 1 or the center of the multiverse and earth 2 is where Jesse Quick and Harry is from

Chris Heidke ??? the timeline changing doesn’t affect which earth they’re on

chris no rf saying hes from earth 1 in the crossover is telling barry hes not from earth x and is the rf from their earth. jay garick is from earth 3 and the barry oliver etc are all living on earth 1.

Judgementxxx becaaaause they did? Just like everyone elses voice is dubbed after recording?

Thats tara strong

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

No they will ruin batman like they do everyone cw are idiots

This comment did not age well

Kelly Pagano they would ruin himit would be bad id rather him a legend instead of a cringy adaptaion

They ruined Superman too....

DeuceDaLocc your an idiot

Stryker yea man

Everything about these shows is cringy

That's how Harley's voice always was.

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

Stryker that was the voice actor they’ve used her for in the recent games and cartoons

nice copying comment

In Luke Cage they name dropped Tony Stark

One of the best books and movie I read and seen

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

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

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.

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

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).

Adam Khouri true

quickSpectre good point

I've been asking that same question for years.

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..?

Adam Khouri oh snap

Only reason why I clicked. Was not disappointed.

Buts it's taken by another girl on the computer

Think it's referencing Babs in the comics though.

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

Lil Dom You could be right!

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

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).

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"

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)

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

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

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

There is another superman did u ever herd about injustice ?

anonymous world yeah but. Superman was still around on earth 1 in injustice.

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.

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

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

The Supergirl universe is a part of the Arrowverse.

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!

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.

Lucas Akame how bad?

virtual pellot Nazis won WWII and rule the world bad.

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

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

Also crazy

Ko Films I think he just updates ot whenever there's a new one

I rephrased it because I wrote it wrong,

Ko Films s

Murv, yea

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

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

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
