"2015"
"Rip Hunter Recruits Legends"
"Legends' Pilot set two months after Legends of Yesterday/Today"
Oh crap. I guess they really want The Haunting of Barry Allen and Generation of Vipers tie-in novels set in October like the novels themselves stated...
Can it even adjust for that?

This is an alternate universe, though, so it's always possible events were moved around slightly.

I guess by that logic that could potentially place some of the inconsistent tie-in material (the aforementioned novels and The Flash: Season Zero) post-Crisis. 
The timeline wasn't yet messed with to the degree that it was in 2016-onwards.
Not for sure though. Just my assumption.

"Erased Earth-1 Timeline" ain't gonna cut it now. I'm going to have to sidenote certain points that were 100% erased/altered post-Crisis, while still leaving them as "Earth-1".
Similar to the "**" before and after time travel scenes.

And Powerless is supposedly merged with the Arrowverse too. (Arrow finale SPOILER LINK)
Maybe?
EDIT: Never mind, it was called "Wayne Security" in Powerless. (And it's incompatable because of "President Luthor", now that I remember.)

Looks like The First of the Fallen's throne to me. Me thinks he's gonna be the final boss of Season 5.
You know what would make this even better? Lucifer season 5 tangential tie-ins.

I still need to catch up on time placements, but I currently have Arrow Episodes 1-4 in October (could be changed to November if not enough time passes before the start of Crisis).
The Flash started off a little complicated. It begins 4 months after the season aired which places it in August. This also matches Cisco mentioning the"fourth Godspeed they've caught this Summer". Episode 2 picks up right where the previous left off and has an October date on a report. I guess it's possible there's a time jump from August to October but it seems like an awfully big jump from Barry and Iris finding out about Crisis being moved and Barry deciding to look at the possibilities. Episode 3 is where things start getting concrete as we're told that Crisis is in 7 weeks (meaning it's now late October, the episode does say it's the second Tuesday of the month but given it should be the third, I'd ignore it). Episode 4 is a Halloween episode, once again giving a concrete placement. Episode 5 says how it's been 2 weeks since Episode 4 meaning we're up to Mid-November.
This is all I currently have for these shows. Once Crisis started again, I got back into watching the shows live and kinda pushed the rewatches of the earlier episodes of the season back. Now that Crisis is over, I'm recreating my timeline and organizing everything. For example, I'm placing the main Arrowverse stuff (the Earths that will make up Earth-Prime) on one Excel sheet. And will do the same for the other Earths confirmed in Crisis. I'm hoping that once I get everything else in, I'll be able to get all the Earth-Prime stuff completely caught up.

Ran into some personal problems the past several days. Again, sorry for running behind.
Good news though, I managed to find a copy of the second Crisis comic at Wal-Mart. And Arrow season 8 is on Netflix, so that should be easier.

It's not a big deal. Do what you have to do, no apology needed.
The comic any good?

Yeah. The Green Lantern film is definitely set on Earth-12 too, and played a really big role in that issue. Wondering if I should add it to the timeline.
So good news. During last night's The Flash we see them reopening CC Jitters after the events of the season premiere. They refer to it as being 5 months since. So, if the episode takes place in January then the season begins in August giving us some further confirmation. Looks like there will have to be a 2 month time jump after Barry and Iris discover Crisis is coming sooner and that Barry is supposed to die, but I guess it could work.
Just noticed that the 1973 portions of Legends of Tomorrow, "The Getaway" are listed as May 6th 1973. Nixon gave the I'm Not a Crook Speech on November 17th. If I'm remembering correctly, a majority of the episode takes place the day before or November 16th.

I believe it was from a newspaper date that said May 7th, 1973 (I don't know why I put "6th") when Gideon pulled it up on her screen.
I'm wondering if since he was infected by that mind-control bug that he gave the speech earlier.
EDIT: Okay, now there was a quick show of a newspaper that said "Tuesday, May 16, 1973". I'll adjust for that.
EDIT: Well...that ain't a Tuesday. So I'll just leave it as May for now.

There is also a date in an article that Iris was writing about The Flash that places the episode around January 14th.
I guess it could be a case of the speech happening a different date on Earth-1. Although usually, they've been pretty accurate with historic dates.
The article was written about Crisis (which makes sense since Crisis ended on January 14th). By Marathon, I feel they're some point in late January.
Crisis final episode aired on January 14th, but in the Arrowverse from what I understand it ended on December 10th, the same day it started. Did I miss something and Oliver created Prime Earth on January 14th or it was December??

Well, they were in the vanishing point for a while, though that's outside time and space. The scene on Earth-Prime was on January 14th for sure. No problem there at all.
Yeah, for some reason the paragons ended up a month in the future when Oliver recreated the Multiverse (Obvious reason being so they were caught up with the Crisis finale airdate).
Does someone have a viewing order for all the 12 Arrowverse episodes that aired Post-Crisis (currently: from Batwoman 1×10 January 19 to LoT 5×02 February 4)?
I've not watched them so if someone has a proper chronological order, I want it please!
If anyone hasn't, I'll go with the air dates order so

Black Lightning 4x10
The Flash 6x10
Black Lightning 4x11 - 4x13
Batwoman 1x10 - 1x12
Supergirl 5x10 - 5x11
Arrow 5x09 - 5x10
Thanks, and can you tell me which episodes are January and which are February? (Joking if you don't have the infos haha
)Are you sure for The Flash? I read somewhere that the episode spoils the finale of Arrow, and after 7 years, I really don't want to spoil the series finale of that great series...
And where the LoT episodes are taking place (the "present" portion at least)?

It takes place before the Arrow episode. It doesn't spoil it.

Well dammit, if Dr Jace said she was in Markovian captivity for "97 days" (in 3x12), that bumps a lot of Black Lightning Season 3 up a few months.
I'll have to fix that...

So if Crisis ended on January 14th, BL 3x10 picked up immediately after that the same night, that would put most of the first half of season 3 in October.
So there had to have been a time jump between Odell meeting the Pierce's about Markovia and then the family in ASA custody. (Which would explain Jefferson's beard growing out between seasons.)
I guess the 37 days that were were said to have passed in the Season 3 premiere was the time Black Lightning was missing. Not necessary the time since Season 2's finale...

I think it has to do that within their mind the show always being real-time. Even when it contradicts previous evidence. Something we've seen before with the shows.

Question: Did they specify what year Kate got kicked out of the military?
I know "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was gotten rid of by Obama in September 2011, and BL and Legends semi-hinted at that he only served one term in this universe (2008-2012)...but I keep seeing places that say she was kicked out in 2013 - two years after it was repealed in real life. Now I could point that to corruption from Gotham and it being infamous with not obeying the law or the writers being trapped within a certain timeline for Kate's life to where they had to push it a couple years later. Although I don't know for sure what year it occurred.

Tonight's Flash begins "a couple of days before Valentine's Day", so close to real-time. The events of last week's episode are referred to as "yesterday" and given that
which is a little weird.
Oliver's funeral hasn't happened yet, the Arrow series finale is now also placed in February. Meaning there's around a month between the end of Crisis and Oliver's memorial,
