Delete article that is redundant to content of the articles on the two movies covered, does not make a lot of sense given that those two movies are in the same continuity as the next two movies, and constitutes subjective (POV) interpretation to say anything otherwise. It at least borders on OR. Doczilla 02:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - The article is nothing more than information copied-and-pasted word-for-word from other Wikipedia articles. This is, basically, a composite Wikipedia article. We don't need one of these. --Hnsampat 02:49, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete If we were to keep this article we'd be setting a precedent by allowing an entire article on a particluar canon of a superhero, and with someone like Batman, who's had so many incarnations, just think of what gates we could be opening Calgary 04:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The two films that followed the Tim Burton Batman films are technically, of very "loose" continuity (a la the James Bond films). Plus, I didn't have a lot of time to edit the article one-by-one. So, I purely took what was available right in front of me. TMC1982 11:17 p.m. 29 June 2007
 * There's a complete article/category for the DC animated universe, which is of seperate canon to the regular comic book continuity (or any other adapation of Batman for that matter). So why not also go after that particular article while you're at it. TMC1982 11:17 p.m. 29 June 2007
 * Because it is about a complete universe. It does not involve your inferences/original research regarding continuity. It is not built around a single character even though there are many characters in the same universe. (Your Hanna-Barbera's Batman universe article is especially confusing in that regard. The DCAU article is not called "Timm's Batman universe", after all.) Doczilla 09:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The universe itself started with Batman: The Animated Series. A majority of the programs have involved Batman in some shape or form (Batman Beyond, The New Batman Adventures, The Adventures of Batman & Robin, etc.) And comparing the DCAU article with this is sort of apples and oranges (animated television series vs. live-action motion pictures).

 * Delete Each of these films has its own article already. This just seems to be completely uneeded. Stephen Day 21:46, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete because the article is basically original research about the in-universe details of the films -- not appropriate for the real-world context sought on Wikipedia. Better suited for a Batman Wiki.  A better article (still in rough shape) for film details (production and so forth) would be Batman film series. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps just redirect there? --Lenin and McCarthy |  (Complain here) 04:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
