Watched MOTBM yesterday and loved it, however I was amazed to see a few things that doesn't make sense:

Why is Rupert Torne(sp) in the movie? didn't he died squashed by a tombstone in MOTP?

Which brings me to the next question, which movies are considered Canon and which ones not?

ROTJ seemed Canon until Teen Titans showed up, thus Robin never was "Jokerized"

Sub-Zero is definetily canon since it brides BTAS and NBATS.

That was Buzz Bronski. He looks like Thorne, but isn't him.

B:TAS, S:TAS, TNBA and Justice League are, for sure, part of the same universe. That means Sub-Zero, Mask of the Phantasm and Mystery of the Batwoman are too. Batman Beyond and Return of the Joker are still debatable, but it is part of the same universe.

Teen Titans is not. It has a different creative team, different characters and different everything all together. Yes, they mentioned Gotham and such, but they aren't in the same universe as the Timm shows.

Though if you wanted to include Teen Titans, It happened b4 ROTJ prob and it could have also happened before JL, and during the BTAS run, as Robin might be Dick Grayson!

Well, you could say that Robin gets so angry easily because of what happened in ROTJ...

Wouldnt make sense, Robin quit after ROTJ and also Joker held control over him for some time!

Joker only held him for 3 weeks, and Robin didn't quit. He just moved on to prove himself.

A) Too many holes and storylines to contridict each other...
B) It is OFFICIAL that there will be no crossovers, meaning the universes won't even tried to be connected...
C) While Batman and the League have guest-starred on Static, and we ALL KNOW about the TT reference, it was nothing more than that, a reference. Don't take it for more than that...
D) Matt Wilson is the master of time. space, televison, ect ect ect...

You can have as many debates as you want, won't change the facts. :shrug: :rolleyes: :moon:

Hehehe... moon.
