Arrowverse / DC-CW Timeline (v 3.0)

@Rman Yeah I think 2024 is a huge fuck up. Because Lois and Superman get married the same year they meet, in late-2003.

But if you consider present day as 2024, you get this huge gap in history/flashbacks between 2003 and 2007 per the "17 years ago" from when Lex was put in jail. I'd say he was locked up in 2005 as opposed to 2007.

2020-2022 is the best option going forward and I think 2024 on Sam's grave was a f-up on the prop department.

Like I said probably just them lazily putting the season's release year.
 
Lemme think on this.
We're probably at a Earth-Thirty-Two situation where it somehow Hypertime'd out of Earth-Prime at some point.

I only have theories regarding that, but ultimately I might have to put the timeline in the reserved space in the Non-Arrowverse thread.

Earth-Thirty-Two

Reality names were reused several times. See also Earth-32, Earth 32, Earth -32. Earth-Thirty-Two is a reconciliation attempt, primarily used to explain inconsistencies and non-canon events of Earth-One. Hal Jordan of Earth One once traveled to this Earth. In his brief visit, it appeared very...

The time dilation it took for Clark to get to Inverse World was 32 days plus the one day to get back

Lois: "It's been 32 days since Lex was released from prison."

Clark: "It [Sam Lane's heart] allowed me to live 32 more years."

Earth-32. Some theories regarding Hypertime BS I'll bring up at a later point.
 
Superman & Lois, while initially connected to the Arrowverse through its introduction in Supergirl, was revealed to be set in a separate universe within the multiverse. Superman & Lois's titular stars, Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch appeared as Clark Kent and Lois Lane in Supergirl and The Flash. However, COVID-19 restrictions and the cancelation of another crossover event prompted Warner Bros. to keep Superman & Lois in a separate continuity. This was confirmed in season 2 through the multiverse

Thought to spoiler tag JUST in case...

I'm aware of this. Sometime after Diggle's guest appearance in season 1 and well after the Batwoman crossover fell through I guess is when, creatively, it became another universe.

I always thought of S&L as post-crisis Earth-38 myself, but Earth-32 certainly makes sense as a hypertime Earth-Prime.
 
James Gunn apparently threw shade at the CW/Arrowverse a week ago, calling them "low-budget party favors", and I find that super gross and entitled tbf.

They were more-niche and not pristine but a lot of people worked on those shows and were happy with them.

Gunn, I like you for most things, virtue signaling is not one of them. You overpraised The Flash movie, a film I didn't mind, but c'mon man.

James Gunn’s DC Studios Cleans Up the “Messed Up” DC Universe With New Strategy

“The history of DC is pretty messed up. It was f—ed up.” That’s what James Gunn, the co-chairman and CEO of DC Studios with Superman producer Peter Safran, said when the duo unveiled their initial 10-project slate back in January 2023. Gunn spoke candidly about the state of DC’s TV and film...

Okay looking at what he said with more context, he's clearly just talking about the carelessness in how everything was greenlit before he took over. He wasn't dissing a whole era of DC TV.

Ok I do not know where you got that original interpretation but this is a huge part of the problem of online news PLUS fan reactions to it. Stuff is taken completely out of context or just wrong. Fans rush to share before confirmation. I appreciate that you quickly corrected what he really said. But often people will see original post and never see correction and will always believe it.

For the record I am a Arrowverse fan more than a James Gunn fan. But very excited about the possibilities for what he is doing. I think Arrowverse fans would agree with what he really said. Which was not even specifically about the Arrowverse itself but DC tv of past. That rights were handed out very casually. It's amazing a lot of it was good. Part of what he was talking about were Probably oddball things developed and never made. Which tied up rights for years.
