-Inchabot Crane is a detective like batman, both characters decide to become that because of their childhood traumas.

-Young Masbeth character is just like Robin, both joins the hero in their crusade to revenge the death of their parents. (curious: there's a scene where Michael Cough (Alfred) is with Inchabot C and young Masbeth)

-Inchabot Crane and Bruce Wayne are saved because of something they had in the poket of their shirts.

-the story of sleepy hollow is full of mystery and riddles, maybe that's the way Burton saw a "Riddler" Story, and the Headless Horseman costume always remind me the Bat Costume.

I disagree.

I do believe, however, that all of Tim Burton's movies take place in the same shared universe.

I disagree.

"Sleepy Hollow"'s core conflict is rationalism vs the supernatural, with the supernatural winning out and converting the rationalist. That's not a theme that fits into the Batman universe, where everything is rational, including the demons and aliens.

And Ichabod faints at the sight of blood.
