DC Live-Action Multiverse - Viewing/Reading Order

[Pro Bot]

Last question (nofake ): can you tell me how minutes are the canon versions of the movies?
I'll try to find the correct versions in France (if they exist)!

It's quite alright. I didn't finish my comment before, but it's up to you if you want spoilers for Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut.

151 minutes
127 minutes

Now I read it (without the spoilers, I haven't seen Superman II ), so despite the fact that you prefer the 2006 Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, the canon version is the 1980 Superman II?

Yep. It only spoils the weird ending to the alternate cut.

Okay thanks!

Last last question: I know you'll make an Earth-12 timeline buuut
I've never seen Green Lantern (the critics...), but in which year it takes place?

Also, do you think the HBO Max Green Lantern TV series will take place on the same Earth?
I know Sinestro will be on the series (https://deadline.com/2020/01/green-lantern-greg-berlanti-details-hbo-max-series-tca-1202831967/ ) and he was on the movie, but maybe Crisis has changed some things of the movie?

It is in 2011.

If Earth-12 is also the series universe, it might be, I'll revise my placement. Since there is no indication of that, the film takes canonical status.

Updated version with the Birds of Prey added.

 

[Dok95]

Black Lightning 4x10
The Flash 6x10
Black Lightning 4x11 - 4x13
Batwoman 1x10 - 1x12
Supergirl 5x10 - 5x11
Arrow 5x09 - 5x10

Someone can add LoT 5×01 "Meet the Legends" and 5×02 "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Love Me" in this Post-Crisis viewing order, please?
(For the "present" parts of these episodes)

 

[JohnTitor]

In my opinion they take place right after Arrow's funeral. And I'd move Batwoman after Arrow, because episode 10 starts a weak after the funeral.

Like that:

Black Lightning 4x11 - 4x13
Supergirl 5x10 - 5x11
Arrow 5x09 - 5x10
LoT 5x01 - 5x02
Batwoman 1x10 - 1x12
?

 

[JohnTitor]

In my timeline it is (for now):
Black Lightning S3 10-12
Arrow S8 9-10
The Flash S6 10
Legends of Tomorrow S5 2-3
Batwoman S1 10-11
Supergirl S5 10-11

But it's simplified and still in the works.

But Pro Bot said that The Flash episode takes place before Arrow finale?

Why is Batman '66 meets Wonder Woman '77 placed before Batman when it takes place in 1977

 

[Pro Bot]

Why is Batman '66 meets Wonder Woman '77 placed before Batman when it takes place in 1977

It takes place in 1966 and 1977. It's set in Earth-76, too, so no continuity in Batman (1966) affects it's placement.

Edit: nevermind, I must have made a mistake. Thank you.

What from Earth-66 also takes place on Earth-76?

Edit: Or is it just like Doom Patrol and Titans were Doom Patrol are both on Earth-9 and 21 but the show only takes place on Earth-21?

Batman exists on Earth-76, and elements of the show canon happened before 1966.

Crisis on Infinite Earths Giant #2 sets the Green Lantern Movie after Crisis.

I mean, it's not the most official confirmation, but it's apart of the official DC channel and they acknowledge the easter egg as an actual link, even if it's only an individual I'm counting it.

It seems quite reasonable to assume anyway.

So Catwoman and the Schumacher films are part of Earth-89?

I mean, DC didn't cut him saying that in the video (like they would with false/unsolicitated information) so it has to be official.

Schumacher was already confirmed, but reaffirming that isn't bad at all.

It just makes sense. Not because they're all terrible movies, only Batman & Robin has that in common with Catwoman, but the lore of Batman Returns feels like it's expanded upon in the Catwoman movie.

The origin and the photo works too well to be an Easter Egg. They must have wanted to tie into the Batman Anthology at the time.

Why else would they have created a new character to be Catwoman unless Selina Kyle already existed?

Why else would they have Catwoman die like Selina Kyle looked like she had (because originally she didn't die before this movie may have retconed it) before gained cat powers?

Why would Patience Phillips act like a cat like Selina Kyle did in Batman Returns?

Why would Selina Kyle from Batman Returns be considered a previous Catwoman in the continuity of the film?

It feels too coincidental. This video just tops it off giving a level of officiality to what essentially boils down to a perfect easter egg.

Unlike ET and Star Wars, for example, which is too separate with a glaring contradiction, it just works.

Now if only Earth-89, Earth-90 and Earth-96 could merge somehow we could have a new live-action Earth-22 and a Kingdom Come mini-series (via HBO Max) with Brandon Routh's Supes and Michael Keaton's Batman; with a Wally Wast carrying on the legacy of John Wesley Shipp's Flash.

EDIT: Throw in Shaq's Steel too. Steel was in Kingdom Come too.

That sounds like an awful lot of wishful thinking.

 

[selfishmisery]

That sounds like an awful lot of wishful thinking.

Yes. And?

I like to imagine stuff like that, even if it never happens.

Hi, Stargirl takes place before the other shows?

I'm working on the timeline for the first episode now. It starts on a Thursday and the episode ends on a late Friday night.
Supposedly the season starts out in October 2019 so I know exactly where to put it.

Nice, I have to watch all the post-hiatus episodes, so I'll follow the timelines here on the website.
Thanks for the timelines, as usual!

Now that the Snyder Cut is confirmed, we'll see Darkseid. Because of Crisis, he is the same character as Darkseid from Smallville, so even though he'll look a little different, he has the memory of those events. It won't affect the story, but it's a canonical detail nonetheless.

I feel that Infinity War/Endgame hype again...

Just to be sure, there was a Stargirl scene seen in Part 5 of the crossover with the monologue of Oliver, when we can see Earth-2 and some Stargirl characters) and I have a question about it: this scene takes place some times after Stargirl's first episodes?

If it is the case, this scenes takes place how long after Stargirl's episodes?

It does. I'm taking the montage in that episode as flashforwards/backwards in the multiverse to explain how Swamp Thing is in March and Crisis is in January. We don't really know, but Stargirl starts in October and Crisis ends in January.

Are you adding the last episodes from the Arrowverse CW Shows to your timeline? Thanks for the work!

Yeah, I'm planning on it.

Oh, and Michael Keaton's Batman is apparently going to appear in the DC Extended Universe.

From what I've gathered, it's most likely through the multiverse, probably an Earth like Earth-89 without the non-Keaton sequels, and he will be brought into the DC Extended Universe in a Nick Fury type role. I'm treating it like a continuation that won't reference story details of the Schumacher films for simplicity's sake, at least until they decide to make sure that there is no way they could possibly both have happened.

I wonder if the film will add more universes to this multiverse.
