In fact there have been over a thousand alternate versions of DC comic superheroes and Marvel Superheroes and if Disney ever distributed a Batman movie for example, it would be chaotic to combined all the alternate versions of Batman onto one article. From my point of view there is a reason for it all, We've like a great big dictionary with so much we sometimes need to narrow it down.

http://batman.wikia.com/wiki/Batman_(Disambiguation) Yeah, that's correct. Heck, even on Metal Gear Wiki, where we had fairly recently merged Iroquois Pliskin with Solid Snake for reasons similar to what Hey1234 mentioned, we've got at least five iterations of Solid Snake with articles, and only one of them is the canon version. And even Disney Wiki has had to create wikis specifically to give articles to characterizations of well-known characters that otherwise will needlessly enlarge their article (for example, OUATWiki). Batman Wiki is just one example. Even Villains Wiki had to distinguish between various characterizations of Batman characters. And Zelda Wiki had to make separate articles for Ganon and Ganondorf even though they are technically the same character (and that's not even getting into the boss articles). Also the Dissidia character articles compared to their character articles in the original games, and heck, the Mega Man articles for the game version being distinguished from those from, say Archie Comics, with Sonic also doing mostly the same on its wiki as well. We've even done it with King Stefan thanks in large part to the Maleficent movie giving him a completely different characterization from the original film. Dragon Ball Wiki also has different articles from the main timeline characters and their Future selves. A few times, separating them is indeed necessary, even if it effectively means rehashing some points.
