I do believe you mean Intelli-Tubes. And it's not the Alternate Future, it's the future that hasn't arrived yet -- assuming, that is, that humanity isn't on a monorail to oblivion (http://www.zapatopi.net).
I'm not sure about the Zeppelins though. I'm inclined to view the blimp scene in Batman as an effort by those in power to convince the orthonoids that the scene they are watching is fictional. There is a clear implication in the film that the mass aerial nerve-gassing of American citizens is a thing that is not actually happening.
I recently saw a claim that there existed just 36 blimps in the world. It's amazing what some people will believe.
Fujifilm, for Christ's sake! Why is the blimp really there? If it was there to sell film, don't you think your neighbors would have bought some by now?
