I argued with a friend of mine that Batman and Catwoman got married and he didn't believe me. So I looked it up and, apparently, DC had an Earth and an Earth 2 where different things happened and then DC did something to get rid of E2. Not sure what... Just in case you were serious.
I was actually being a smart ass, their was an earth 3 also and a few other variant worlds and it got so confusing and congested, I'm not sure if you follow marvel right now but the have the original universe, the ultimate universe, and various Max (and their mature line) universes (but some of the Max lines are set in the Original Universe, like the Punisher.)
As you can tell you have multiple copies of the same character… Anyhow DC cleaned up their universes by killing them all off minus the original and bringing over some of the characters they wanted from the others. (This happened in the Zero Hour series, lots of no names died, but it explains while the members of the JSA, the predecessor of the JLA, are still young and what not.
More than you ever wanted to know huh?
Anyhow, Batman is the true persona, while Bruce Wayne, is just a tool to get things done… The movie did a wonderful job of showing this except for the last few scenes with the Katie Holmes character. One Batman wouldn’t really hint at who he “truly” is, it could put the other in harms way, and two, it should have been Bruce/Batman that told her to pack sand and go away at the end… Batman is the protector of Gotham. He doesn’t have time for “silly” stuff. (Its what makes him so tragic.)
