Among the trading preferences of Homeline is trading with timelines which have video technology that has a method of storage of video recordings, (VHS tape, Blu-ray, DVD or digital) that is able to be transferred to home line for viewing without too much difficulty. There are many shows or movies which do not exist in Homeline or exist in different forms would be can found in the multiverse

Welles-1. In this timeline the Internet hoax of home line of Orson Welles wanting to do a Batman movie was not a hoax. In this timeline it was actually true. Orson Welles became enamored Batman in the mid 40s and wanted to do a movie. After long and complex negotiations, he was able to write and film the movie he wanted. It was released in 1947. Welles starred as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. He cast Edward G Robinson as Crime Boss Oswald Cobblepot, who became known as the Penguin during the movie, Joseph Cotten as Inspector Gordon, Hedy Lamarr as Catwoman and Clifton Webb as Alfred.

He wrote the story of Bruce Wayne returning from World War Two, after having served with British commandoes during the war, and becoming Batman to bring down the criminal gang led by Cobblepot.

When the movie was released, it was considered a cinematic masterpiece, garnering several Academy Awards, and was also very profitable. The Studio was able to convince Welles, after much negotiation, pleading and lots of money being offered, to do a sequel. Welles introduced the Joker in the sequel and wrote a story about the rise of costumed villains in the wake of the collapse of the Cobblepot gang. All the original characters returned and Welles cast Richard Widmark as the Joker.

Critics both on Welles-1 and Homeline consider the movies as some of the best ever made. They routinely make the list of ten list of best movies of all time on Welles-1. This has led to the earlier acceptance of Superhero movies as adult fare by Hollywood and by association, Science Fiction in Welles-1 This timeline has many movies that Superhero and Science fiction fans eagerly view.

Lucas-2 In this time George Lucas continued making Star World movies in the 80s and 90s after Return of the Jedi. He was able to complete his original plan of having all nine Star war movies done by the mid-90s. The prequels and sequels are generally considered superior to the ones that were created on Homeline as that Lucas was able to maintain his focus the whole time making the movies. The many Star Wars fans in Homeline continually compare the movies from Lucas-2 to the ones from Homeline. Infinity Inc has on occasion had to intercept Star Wars fans who wanted to get this timeline’s George Lucas' input on the movies they grew up with. Sadly, in this Timeline, the Star Wars Holiday Special was still made.

WB-1. This timeline is different in that it is named after a Network as opposed to a person. In this timeline, different decisions were made by WB in the the late 1990s and early 2000s as to what TV shows were green light. In particular WB decided to go ahead and produce the show about Bruce Wayne becoming Batman during his late teenage years to his early 20s. In Homeline, this show did not make it out of development as the WB studio did not want to risk possibly distracting from the production of Batman Begins, which was in production at the same time. In this timeline, the studio decided to take the gamble of both a TV show and movie going at the same time. The studio was richly rewarded. At the same time, the studio greenlit a TV show about Superman’s teenage years called Smallville. The two shows were very successful and managed to set up a shared universe. Bruce Wayne, the name of the show, lasted for multiple seasons. WB was able to build on the success of the shared universe of the DC universe on the TV network. This success enabled the WB network to continue and not have to merge with the UPN as it did in the early 2000s. WB succeeded in this timeline and became a fifth network. Homeline fans consider the two shows as examples of excellent worldbuilding.

Buffy-1. In this timeline the personality of the creator of the Buffy the vampire Slayer TV show was different from that of Homeline and many flaws/plot problems that were present in Homeline were not present here. The show lasted nine seasons due to the better working environment. The storylines were generally more upbeat and many Buffy fans on Homeline prefer the boxed set of the show from this timeline over the original one. Also other shows by the creator of Buffy lasted longer- Angel lasted five seasons while Firefly ran for five seasons also.
