Nah, this isn't right either.
Sometimes you can be wrong, ya know. My comment and Daken's are proof of that. In the original and New 52, Superboy-Prime punches reality which brings Jason back to life. In the Rebirth, he's resurrected via Liam Neeson's Lazarus Pit. Same character, different
continuity. Again, the Batman who faced off against Ledger's Joker did not fight off the Batman Who Laughs who did not meet Sherlock Holmes who did not fuse with Nick Fury who did not fuse with Man-Thing as Man-Bat who is not his father in
Flashpoint who is not Gordon's grandson who is not
Elseworld's Batman who fights Jack the Ripper who is not Terry McGinnis like.... bro. Do you get it now? Terry McGinnis is Batman, so was he
also fighting the Batman Who Laughs? The Batman Who Laughs is
also Batman, so was he fighting himself? I mean, in your eyes they're all the same character.
Same version, same hero, different flavor.
What about when Superman landed in Gotham instead, and the Waynes adopted him and named him Bruce? And then Superman was Batman? Does that mean that Batman has fused with Captain America as well? So
SupermanBatman/Captain America fought alongside Batman/Nick Fury? But those characters are the same too since they're also Batman, so it was Batman/Batman fighting alongside Batman/Batman. As horrifying as that is, the true horror is Amalgam being canon as a result of the Batmanning.
What about when Dick Grayson was Batman? Does that mean that Batman raised Batman as Robin to be Batman?
Which gets me thinking, when you consider the Batman Who Laughs and that he's half-Joker... that means the
Joker is Batman too. So then you can go to the Arkham games and it turns out that Batman infects Batman with
JokerBatman virus to see hallucinations of
JokerBatman mocking Batman as he tries to stop
Red HoodBatman.
In summary, it's Batman all the way down in your line of thought. Since they're all the same character. Do you see the problem now?
To reiterate, those are obviously all Batmen from different timelines otherwise you get Batman being
everyone. Obviously CoC2 is
one timeline, so if a thing happens
it happened. There is no retcon to save you from unending Batmen. Brint/Brienne are brutally raped if it happens in your game, and there's nothing to be done to change it. "Selective amnesia" can't save it, because it's not like comics. There's no different timeline, no alternate
timeline universe. Only this one. And in this one, you get cucked. Like,
a lot.
I swear I cannot type Batman any more or I will lose my sanity and become him too
