Batman/Superman Anthology Timelines

[Rojinn]

Here's my interpretation:

Earth-89 (AKA Earth-789)
Burtonverse
Donnerverse
Human Target
Catwoman
The Goonies
Barney Miller
Fish

Earth-96
Donnerverse (potentially altered)
Superman Returns

Earth-97
Burtonverse (potentially altered)
Schumacherverse
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman

Earth-203
Burtonverse (potentially altered)
Birds of Prey

Flashpoint DCEU
Burtonverse (potentially altered)
The Flash

Post-Flashpoint DCEU
Burtonverse (potentially altered)
Schumacherverse (potentially altered)
The Flash (ending)
(Not sure about Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2)

 

[Rojinn]

I am aware that Earth-97 was said as a joke, but I used to to explain the Batman '89 comics not lining up

 

[Rojinn]

Feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes here. Again, this is just my personal interpretation

 

[Zeitschiene]

It's complicated.

How so

 

[Pro Bot]

How so

We don't know if they take place in the Clooney-Verse or a still-existing Snyderverse because the movies don't provide us with enough information. The Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom comic book tie-in arguably suggests the latter option.

i tend to lean this way aswell

 

[UltimateWhovian7]

Earth-96
Superman 1-5
Supergirl
Batman 1-2
Human Target (possibly)

Is it officially confirmed anywhere that Earth-789 is the same as Earth-96 or is that just an assumption? I know that a Bruce Wayne "cameos" in Superman '78 but is it officially stated to be the same world because I feel they wouldn't contradict pre-established canon from TV's Crisis.

 

[Pro Bot]

Earth-789 specifically states Batman '89 and Superman '78 (comics) are canon in Dark Crisis: Big Bang. Batman '89 isn't canon to Crisis' Earth-89 because they stated that Bat-Nipples are canon to that world.

Since Superman I-IV are supposed to be canon to Earth-96, and Superman '78 is set between Superman II and Superman III, Batman '89 logically makes more sense to be in Earth-96 (since the Burtonverse includes Batman Forever and Batman & Robin).

 

[UltimateWhovian7]

But are the Superman '78 comics also in Earth-96 or could they be an alternate continuity like Batman '89? It seems to me that they're trying to retell/reinvent the stories of the less successful 3rd and 4th films after a very popular 2nd film in both franchises.

It is confirmed to be set between the films. The writer said it on a podcast once. It was also stated elsewhere. I heard it with my own ears.

 

[Zeitschiene]

Oh, how?

 

[Pro Bot]

There's also two references to the third film. Gus Gorman literally has a cameo.

 

[Zeitschiene]

I heard it with my own ears.

That's convenient (just a joke)

 

[Pro Bot]

Oh, how?

Wonder Woman and Flash appear, Barry with his suit from The Flash. You could still make the argument it's Post-Flashpoint if you really wanted mind you, but yeah.

Though, if you do interpret it as Post-Flashpoint... you can head-canon Aquaman: King of Atlantis into the Pre-Flashpoint DCEU Timeline... there's no contradictions!

2018 - Aquaman
2018 - Lights Out
2018 - Shazam!
2019 - Aquaman: King of Atlantis

2018 - Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Special #1 (3rd Story; "Rattling the Cage")
2022 - Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Special #1(1st Story; "Changing Tides")
2022 - Aquaman: Through Fire and Water #1
2022 - Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Special #1 (2nd Story; "Afterimage")
2022 - The Flash
2022 - Aquaman and the Lost kingdom
2023 - Blue Beetle
2025 - The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus 1x01, "Priorities"
2025 - The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus 1x02, "The Inherent Dangers of Time Travel"
2025 - The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus 1x03, "Fully Torqued"
2025 - The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus 1x04, "The Psychodome"
2025 - The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus 1x05, "Cyclotron Don"
2025 - The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus 1x06, "Blackout"

 

[UltimateWhovian7]

Batman '89 is set the following year after Batman Returns.

Is this still true to point or are the 1995 and 1997 dates correct?

yeaa i kind of see arthur being in the post-credits of flash as pointing to aquaman 2 happening after, although thats certainly far from definitive

 

[Pro Bot]

No, it's false.

 

[Pro Bot]

I guess I forgot to edit the reasoning.
