[[AC:{{Elseworld}}s]]
* Some DC Comics {{Elseworld}}s do this; for instance in ''[[ComicBook/SupermanSpeedingBullets Speeding Bullets]]'' [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kal-El]]'s rocketship is found by the Waynes and he becomes Franchise/{{Batman}}, while Lex Luthor is in a chemical accident and becomes the Joker. In ''[[ComicBook/BatmanInDarkestKnight Darkest Knight]]'', Bruce Wayne becomes Franchise/GreenLantern, and Sinestro absorbs Joe Chill's mind and becomes a Joker stand-in who empowers Selina Kyle and Harvey Dent as Star Sapphire and Binary Star (Evil Star with Two Face elements) respectively. ''Conjurers'' has an interesting example with the ComicBook/ChallengersOfTheUnknown; it uses versions of the then-current 90s Challs, but gives them the original team's nicknames. (Kenn becomes Prof, Marlon is Ace, Brenda is Red and Clay is Rocky.)

* In the "Justice-League-as-Steampunk-scientists" {{Elseworld}} ''JLA: Age of Wonder'', the Flash is Barry Allen but wears a costume closer to Jay Garrick's. And Starman is Ted Knight, but has black hair and wears regular clothes with a gold star-in-a-circle pin and green tinted goggles, looking more like an Edwardian version of Ted's son Jack.

* Most incarnations of Two-Face in ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' stories from all media use the "obsessed with duality and primarily evil" personality of Paul Sloane, the second Two-Face from the Golden Age, but with Harvey Dent's background and name. The issue becomes a mite confused when both versions operate within the same continuity, as they do now (though Sloane now calls himself the Charlatan).

** In the Threeboot continuity, Micro Lad/Colossal Boy is a combination of, you guessed it, Micro Lad (a villain from the original continuity who could shrink) and Colossal Boy (a hero from the original continuity who could grow). The twist is that this Micro Lad comes from Big City, where everyone is a giant, and his power is technically to shrink to normal human size. Virtually everyone but himself refers to him as Colossal Boy because the Micro Lad name is just too awkward and confusing to normal sized people.

This, however, was [[ContinuitySnarl abruptly disregarded]] in Jim Shooter's run, which acted as if this Colossal Boy was no different from his original premise of being a human being who gained the power to become gigantic.

** Invisible Kid in this continuity is Jacques Foccart, but wears a costume that incorporates elements from that of Foccart's predecessor Lyle Norg, such as the head band and the chest insignia resembling a lower case I.

* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'': Quite a lot of the characters in the Arkham series borrow aspects from different Batman continuities. The baseline for most of the characters come from the comics and [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries '90s animated series]], but then you have touches and references to other versions mixed in.

** [[Characters/BatmanArkhamSeriesBatman Batman]]
*** He's based on the comics version, has the [[Creator/KevinConroy voice]] of his Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse counterpart in everything outside of ''Origins'' and ''Blackgate'', and his costume -- albeit modeled on the costume from the classic comics -- is body armor with a cape ala ''Film/BatmanBegins''. His ''Origins'' costume is more based on the armored costume from ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', albeit modeled on the ComicBook/{{New 52}} costume and Creator/RogerCraigSmith's voice would sometimes sound similar to Creator/ChristianBale's Batman voice. His ''Arkham Knight'' design is modeled on Creator/BenAffleck and wears armor similar to his ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' incarnation.
*** ''Arkham Origins's'' [=PS3=]-exclusive Knightfall [=DLC=] [[DownplayedTrope kind of]] combines him with Jean-Paul Valley, the first Azrael. The [=DLC=] lets him wear Valley's batsuit (which covers his whole face) and one of the five challenge maps from the [=DLC=] is called "Azrael does not protect". Despite the nods to Azrael and the original storyline, there's no in-game indication it's a different Batman and you can still play the campaign in a suit that shows Wayne's chin. (It's also hard to say if the whole thing is even canon, since it's hard to fit anywhere on the timeline).

* ''Film/Joker2019'': Arthur Fleck (The Joker) takes many elements from many different versions of the Joker and many other characters.
** Incorporates elements of Oswald Cobblepot in ''Series/{{Gotham}}'', being another nebbish man who lives with his mother and becomes a proto-supervillain.
** Calling back to previous iterations of the character:
*** He has long hair and dons makeup and hair dye (instead of being chemically altered) like [[Film/TheDarkKnight the Nolanverse version]]. He even gives himself a smile in his own blood which heavily resembles Ledger's Glasgow grin, save for the facial mutilation. Intially, his mouth's appears to be a cross between John Wayne Gacey's makeup and that of Cesar Romero.
*** He wears a reddish suit instead of the classic purple like [[Series/Batman1966 Cesar Romero]] (with orange and green on the inside like ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' Joker).
*** He goes to a talk show and kills the host unexpectedly like the ''[[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns Dark Knight Returns]]'' Joker.
*** He is in some way responsible for the deaths or Bruce Wayne's parents like [[Film/Batman1989 Tim Burton's version]].
*** Attributes like being a nobody, failed comedian who had "a bad day" and being an Unreliable Narrator when it comes to telling his story bring to mind [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke Alan Moore's Joker]].
*** Additionally, ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'''s Joker exhibits attributes that stem from punch-drunk syndrome, a damaged brain condition. Arthur is also clearly brain-damaged.
*** The ManChild with some LonersAreFreaks tendencies but relatively well adjusted that appreciates old comedy and uses it as a rejection of Gotham's ugly reality that we saw in the first part of the movie reminds about the Joseph Kerr persona the Joker develops after he believes (wrongly) that he at last had killed Batman in the comic ''Going Sane''.
*** Arthur's gradual transition from well-meaning if volatile mentally ill person to a homicidal rampaging murderer brings to mind his incarnation from ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'', John Doe.
** Arthur surprisingly shares a lot with [[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} Selina Kyle]] in ''Film/BatmanReturns'', both being mentally ill outcasts tormented by those around them, having grown up with traumatic childhoods, having mommy issues, who experience one bad day too many and respond by wearing a costume and wreaking havoc against those they claim to have wrong them, one of which is a corrupt wealthy man involved in politics who've helped created them.
** As a possible older brother to Bruce Wayne who was sent to an asylum, Arthur has some parallels with Thomas Willowood aka the Boomerang Killer
