Is there a connection of Inception to the Batman TAS episode "Perchanct to a Dream"?

I mean if you think about it, there are similarities between the movie and that episode.

Since Nolan is a bat-fan, i'm sure he borrowed some ideas from that episode as i assume he watched that show.

I think there are as much connection between those two iterations as it is between Inception and The Matrix. Or, if you will, Inception and that Uncle Scrooge comic with the dream machine.

You remember the episode where Bruce is in a dreamworld where someone else is playing Batman, he's about to marry Selina and his parents still alive?

No.

I haven't seen the episode in years, is it the one where he tries to read a book and realized he can't because "you can't read in a dream" . That's actually not true I discovered but was gullible enough to believe at the time.

I seriously doubt it.

It is HARD to read anything in a dream. I tried reading an alarm clock and a license plate one time and the letters and numbers start changing on you.

Strangely that's not happened to me , unless I can't recall. I once dreamt looking up a word in the dictionary and even remembered the words because I was woken up almost immediately after.

Last week , I dream being four hours late for work but I could see the time clock. That was very brief though.

Hard but not impossible makes more sense I guess.

If you look hard enough at anything, you're bound to find similarities to something else..

That doesn't mean that it necessarily became a source of someone else's creativity.

In other words, it's probably just a coincidence.

It's damn near impossible for anyone to have an original thought these days. Especially when making a film. So it could very likely be a coincidence.

Episode on youtube?

Probably not on youtube, but it could be easily found elsewhere..
