Non-Arrowverse DC TV Show Timelines

Season 5 Episode 7 of Lucifer....

Charlotte's gravestone says she died in 2018

There's no way around that. I'm going to have to spread out some events of the show's first couple seasons...
 
Finally getting around to Doom Patrol S2 and noticed something with Episode 3. This could be contradicted later on, but when Vic goes to the group meeting he mentions that it's Tuesday Morning at 9:00. This scene is currently set on April 29th which would have been Wednesday. Vic mentioning the meetings being on Tuesday morning (I assume they're weekly meetings) means that Episode 2 should have been the previous Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the evidence makes sense for Episode 2 being just the day before, but the Vic and Roni stuff make it seem like at least a week has passed (at least more than a day).

There's also contradictory evidence with Larry's
son's obituary, showing his funeral
as being on Saturday which is the same day Vic would have first went to the group meeting.

My fix would be that the Larry evidence should be ignored and we could assume that he was away from the manor a week.
With his son's funeral falling on April 21st and the team rescuing him April 28th

Oh that's what I had before.

Here's what threw me off: the May(?) 3rd date on the newspaper Rita shows Vic in 2x08. (Referring to her last night stint as "The Beekeeper").

It's so weird, because if the Saturday and Tuesday lines were ignored, then that kinda shows the writers were paying attention to how many days pass between episodes...while disregarding 2 lines which imply small time jumps.

Okay, the newspaper scene I'm referring to is below the headline that Rita tapes her finger on. Fourth row of the paragraph (19 minutes and 30 seconds into the episode).

"On the night of the 3rd..."
 
I haven't got that far yet but is there any possible small time jumps where a day could had passed? I'd personally take Victor's line about it being Tuesday over a later newspaper prop. Right now I just have Episode 1 as April 18th-19th, it's a little stretchy with mention of them being small for "weeks" (although technically it would be right), Episode 2 as April 20th-21st, ending Tuesday and Episode 3 as April 28th, the following Tuesday.
 
Did you see the amount of tally marks that Robotman marked on the wall after punching the rat in 2x01?

Or was that for how many rats he killed?

Yeah. I hadn't even considered though that it could be a reference to how many days they've been small and how he's done it every day since.

Is it more likely that it was just the amount of rats he killed?

That's throwing me off too. But it would be weird I guess if he went through the trouble to keep track of how many days he was small all the way on the other side of the manor.
 
Also in Episode 3, Driller Bill mentions that May is their busiest month. Although we can assume she's bringing it up with May only being a few days away.
 
Currently on Episode 7, and I think the day time skip would work better between Episode 4 & 5 rather than 6 & 7. The events of Episode 7 fit much better a day after Episode 6. With Episode 5, I feel a full day could have easily passed since Episode 4. Given how the Manor is back to normal, we can assume they used the unseen day to clean up after the Danny party.

2x05- May 1st 2020
2x06- May 1st-2nd 2020
2x07- May 3rd 2020.

EDIT: We see the Beekeeper's daughter wearing a backpack with her mother telling her to take her Biology teacher some honey. This scene is set on a Sunday given the newspaper date. So, I'm not sure how to make this fit. I guess we could go with her teacher tutors on the weekend.

EDIT 2: The newspaper that shows the 3rd in Episode 8 is shown to be a Saturday edition. While this contradicts May 3rd, (works perfect for April 3rd) it does fit with the beekeeper's daughter going to school the day before.

I'll adjust when I get the chance. I'm visiting family right now.
 
I'm on hiatus right now btw. Caught something last week and been out of it for a while.
 
Well, we know how many years there are between Pennyworth and Gotham, now. Kinda lines up, actually. Bruce was born February 19, 1969 and conceived April-May 1968, if not in the first season pahaps? I don't recall.

Pennyworth = 1967-1968
Gotham = 1983-1988 (1998 epilogue)

Assuming it's Bruce and not... the Joker or something, silly Arthur Fleck...

More clickbait. (Read the creators' quotes before the headline.)

Bruno Heller said Martha would be PREGNANT. Nothing about the baby being Bruce.
Remember in Gotham when Lee got pregnant in Season 2 and everyone thought it was gonna be Barbara Gordon? He lost the baby episodes later. The same can happen for Martha.

Another reason why I don't think it's Bruce - Martha was the center of a non-consensual orgy at a Satanic cult. Bruce Wayne cannot be a product of gangrape, that's horrifically disrespectful to the character, and I can't see them doing that to him.

The Pennyworth showrunners also said they had a 5 season plan. Once again, way too early for Bruce to be born.

EDIT: Okay so Entertainment Weekly didn't even read off Bruno's quote. They basically just lied for "teh clickz".
Please, in the future, research the quotes from the creators before taking a headline as fact.

I knew they didn't specify Bruce, I just assumed it was. I assumed that the conception would have happened in the season.

Another note: Lucius Fox appears in S2. Guess he's in his 40s/50s in Gotham?
Pennyworth S2 is a year after S1.
My guess is that Lucius will be a pre-teen boy genius, teenage intern, or nearing adulthood and working for Thomas Wayne somehow.
Bruno Heller said that it would "unexpected", which could be situational or physically.

Let's say if he was born around, eh, 1950-1955, he'd be in his 30s to early 40s in Gotham. Which works, since he started to have graying hair in the series finale (where he'd be around 50).
