Description
This is a collage I made of George Reeves' Superman and Michael Keaton's Batman and Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, with Michael Keaton Batman's Gotham City skyline. George Reeves' Superman was from '51-'58 films and two TV series and comics and Michael Keaton's Batman was from the '89-'92 films and comics and Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman was from '75-'79 TV movies, TV series and TV specials and comics. Sure for many fans it would be Christopher Reeve's Superman and Adam West's Batman that represent the heroes the most to them, a lot of that has to do with fans childhood nostalgia, or Christian Bale's Batman or Ben Affleck or whatever is the newest, a lot of that has to do with popular fads. I think of who is most authentic to the originals and it's George Reeves' '50s Superman that is closer to Siegel and Shuster's original '30s-early '40s Superman comics and Keaton's Batman is truer to the original 1939 mysterious Batman by Finger and Kane and Carter's Wonder Woman is much more true to the original '40s Wonder Woman comics by Marston. Together I see them as kinda an Alex Ross Justice League art kind of vibe, too.Related content

I totally imagine Michael Keaton's Batman alongside George Reeves' Superman. They both live in a fedora wearing noir world overrun by gangsters. I can't even imagine George Reeves' Superman crossing over with Adam West's Batman because Adam's Batty world was way too '60s campy, colorful "derring-do and dastardly" pranksters in a hippie utopia pop art world that George Harrison fits into, not the "Man of the Nineteen Fifties" George Reeves. They were mocking guys like George Reeves and Jack Webb as "old fashion squares" in the '60s when Adam West's Batmania was booming, but Tim Burton and Keaton's '80s Batman was very retro '40s-'50s neo-noir, like another '80s movie called Brazil. I saw George Reeves as very Norman Rockwell Americana, Michael Keaton's Batman as very Tom Lovell darker Americana, Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman as very Norman Rockwell "Rosie the Riveter" Americana. Adam West's Batman was very Andy Warhol pop art that was camping up the old symbols of Americana.

You gotta think outside the box. George Reeves was aged 37 when he started as Superman in real time. Michael Keaton was aged 38 when he started as Batman in real time. Batman (1989) didn't take place in 1989 in the Burtonverse. In Fantazone #1 (1989) Batman (1989) scriptwriter Sam Hamm explained that even, "At one point they did discuss doing it as a period piece, possibly in black and white with an art deco look to it. Tim [Burton] and I decided that the neatest way to do it would be to give it a 'retro-futuristic' look, the same sort of thing you see in Brazil [(1985) by Terry Gilliam]. It has a gothic feel to it."
