Does this take place in the same universe as the Christopher Reeve……

There's never any indication, so I'd say no. There are references to Metropolis and Superman in Forever and B&R though, but this isn't necessarily referencing Christopher Reeve's Superman universe.
Personally, I don't think they really go together, the Donner and Burton movies. Donner's Metropolis is just New York City with nothing surreal about the architecture, just a straight copy of a real-life city, while Burton's Gotham feels like it could be from another universe or even a nightmare come to life. In other words, Burton's Gotham is too surreal to co-exist in the relatively realistic world of the Donner movies.
This.

There have been many comics where Metropolis and Gotham City looked totally different and existed in the same universe.

Batman
was really one of the first abstract superhero movie in that it was clearly taking place in its own world (in regards to its set design and atmosphere) instead of possibly being part of are own like w/ Richard Donner's
Superman
