Yeah, Elseworlds stuff was clearly outside continuity, but I was talking about other stuff.

With the difference that Morrison just came right out and said he was going to be altering past continuity before the first issue even shipped, making perfectly clear what he was doing. And that Morrison's run didn't spin out of Legends Of The Dark Knight.

Loeb simply set out to write a Godfather type Batman story about Harvey Dent featuring a bunch of villains; perhaps the logic of including so many Batmans villains was inconsequential to that purpose; as maxi series he might have felt more inclined to follow his own whims in portraying Batmans early days; and because it was ever branded outright as Elseworlds he'd be inclined to believe it was published as continuity. As Carabas implied, at least Morrisons stories have a way of implicitly acknowledging when he's changing continuity, and more importantly the continuity itself a critical platform for developing new themes or story. That's a big difference to Loebs cavalier, slapdash approach imo. Also I think the fact it spun out of LotDK and what you've elaborated about Dark Victory could also be important.

It's not like we ever saw Batman's first year as it happened, like we did with Spider-Man, and as Batman Begin's and Dark Knight showed, people love seeing his origin story. Quote:
It's just a look at his early adventures. Quote:
You may think it's lame to mention the time he and Dick were stuck in a submarine in the harbour for a few weeks, but, it did happen in the books.
