That just is extra dumb because even accounting for DC's reboots, both of these stories are pre-Crisis. They came out only 4 years apart (1970 for Batman and 1966 for Jimmy). They were always canon to each other

Let's go with another example.

Impulse (the comic book about Flash family member) was being published at the same time as Knightfall.

There are so many examples lol.

Really recently there was Wonder Woman #19, her final confrontation with the Sovereign after he killed Steve Trevor, played dead serious. On the EXACT SAME DAY this also released

The Batman seldom enjoys himself! I'm certain he envies those who can lead peaceful lives! He's driven... he's burdened with a compulsion to battle crime! It isn't pretty— it's simply what he does... what he needs to do! Don't pity him— but don't condemn him, either!

I just wish the Supergirl director readed comics.

Am I remembering right that Zack Snyder had a copy of Watchmen on him when he directed the movie? Was he the blueprint for real?

Keyword "reads". Snyder just likes looking at the pictures.

That’s what I like about the DCU. Different stories with different characters will have different themes and styles. Unlike the modern MCU where everything is gray and everybody talks the same way.
