If there had never been the "falling out" after Bat, and if Meat hadn't had the vocal problems he had around Deadringer, then I don't think there would ever have been an album titled Bat Out Of Hell II, and since many of the songs featured on Bat II were recycled from BfG and Original Sin then any album released in that time frame would have been susbstantially different to the Bat II we know now, likewise anyting released when WTTN and Bat III were released.
The Bat II title came around as part of the reconciliation between Meat and Jim and the subsequent marketing strategy from Virgin. If there hadn't been a split in the first place there would have been no need for a reconciliation or a comeback.
