DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

Sorry to bring that back up, but I need ultimate clarification. What is set on Earth-1 and what is set on the Post-Flashpoint Timeline? Can someone pleaswe answer?
personally i see several options as of now:

a) aquaman 2 jan-june 2022, blue beetle june 2022, flash september 2022, universe resets, dcu starts in a new timeline
b) flash september 2022, aquaman dec 2022-june 2023, blue beetle june 2023, dcu starts in a new timeline

both are fine to me as i dont see the dceu being revisited in the future, but for now im going with a until there is evidence found in either blue beetle or aquaman that puts them solidly in 2023, its just cleaner to me to have everything end with the reset in the flash, but aquaman appearing in the flash post-credits says to me either way can be valid
 
Accirding to the DCEU Wiki, Aquaman 2 is set in October 2022 on Earth-1, ans Blue Beetle is in May 2023, also on Earth-1. Only The Flash is partially set in the Post Flash Point Timeline Earth

I personally hope Aquaman 2 and Blue Beetle can be set before The Flash because of the timeline reset and also The Flash is just a more climactic ending for the DCEU that kinda ties it all together.

I feel like this is something I need to keep an eye out for when it comes out on Max.
If there's a 2022 or 2023.
 
I just listened the Escape the Midnight Circus podcast, and I don't think it's set in the DCEU.
There's a Flashpoint happening without any mention or acknowledgment of the one in the movie. Barry was still at the "I can change the past" period.

Maybe. But by DC's lore the longer you are in a new timeline, especially if its been years, the old memories from the old timeline disappear forever over time.

The DCAMU and The Flash TV show even covered this and Greg Weisman had acknowledged this rule even for his Young Justice canon (his "chronal radiation" explanation for why characters remember old timelines when they shouldn't).

I really doubt that it's in 2026 or something. I can see it as a slightly different parallel Earth or a divergent Earth (if it's not entirely separate in the first place), but not as post-Flashpoint DCEU. If it's canon, then various characters that weren't shown in DCEU, such as Green Lantern (probably Hal), Cicada, Captain Cold, Pied Piper, Cat Grant, Mirror Master and more are canon to the post-Flashpoint DCEU. Interesting theory though.

This is why I'm going to wait and see what in the actual fuck this DCU is in connection to the DCEU because I don't trust any news outlets anymore.

Discovered this calendar 6 minutes and 29 seconds into Aquaman 2. Starts on Sunday the 1st, total of 31 days.

In order for June to be 5-6 months after the time jump (preferably 5) - the closest that matches pre-time jump is December 2022 to January 2023.

So it's 2023. Sorry, it's post Flash movie.

speaking of:


"I know we'll see Blue Beetle again, whether it comes in the form of Blue Beetle 2 or wherever," Maridueña said. "It's been really great to work alongside James [Gunn] and Peter [Safran], who have graciously folded us into their new universe even though it wasn't part of what they came up with. It's an honor. Now, where Blue Beetle heads in the future? I don't know. But I can confidently say that we will see him soon."

The actors are returning, the story might be the same, but Blue Beetle STILL isn't set in the DCU.
