Arrowverse

The Arrowverse is the fan-originated name for the shared continuity that began with the TV series Arrow. Originally set on "Earth-1", the Arrowverse was expanded into an infinite multiverse— within the Divine Continuum— that houses the settings of most of the live-action and animated adaptations...

  8. DC Extended Universe

  17. Burtonverse (Batman (1989), Batman Returns)
  18. Schumacherverse (Batman Forever, Batman & Robin)
  19. The Flash (1990)
  20. Green Lantern (2011)
  21. The Adventures of Superman (1952)
  22. Batman (1966)
  23. Wonder Woman (1975)

I think that's it?
Obviously some Vertigo stuff like iZombie or Sweet Tooth can't be mentioned due to creator-owned rights issues, and The Dark Knight Trilogy is off-limits to the multiverse because of Nolan. Stuff that WB has no hands in like Preacher / The Boys or Y: The Last Man can't ever be acknowledged.

This list is based on onscreen Multiverse connections and producer input (which is the case for Krypton, Gotham, Gotham Knights, Sandman, Powerless, Naomi, The Batman and Watchmen). I didn't pull any of this out of thin air.

Noted. Is there an IRL chronological order of when these connections/input occur (mainly so I know when to watch them on my Viewing Order)?

Well, there's 3 "stages" of DC's Live-action Multiverse for starters:
1.) The 1st "stage" - Smallville (Earth-167) basically sets the stage for the Multiverse concept in season 10 and the Season 11 comics, although it never brings up other live-action continuities and it basically wipes out a bunch of nothing-Earths of the higher echelon to a smaller number by the time the Arrowverse begins - until Crisis on Infinite Earths.

2.) The 2nd "stage" is Post-Crisis. More on that when I have the time to explain what order, chicken-and-the-egg, that provides. It encompasses most of what I listed above. Some like Batman '66 existed before Crisis, but again, more on that later. Others are newly created for this "stage" of the Multiverse.

3.) The Flash film essentially causes the 3rd and final iteration of the live-action multiverse - Post-Flashpoint. This is a largely vague and so far unexplored territory/period for DC right now. The DCEU, DCU, Arrowverse (Earth-Prime) and Superman & Lois's unknown Earth are 100% part of it. Other Earths that existed prior to Flashpoint (but post-Crisis) presumably still exist or merged with other Earths. The specifics aren't fully explained yet, that's all for Gunn's team to decide for the future.

I'll give the viewing order later. Just wanted to explain the background some.

Roger that. Asking as I'm planning to start Arrow S1 very soon, so I wanted to know an optimal order to explore the entirety of the DC multiverse(s), both Live-Action and Animated (barring nonsense like Teen Titans Go, obviously).
 
Since this board can handle more characters-per-post since this thread's creation, I'm gonna start adjusting it all into one but spoiler-hid to save space.

Arrow 3x03 should take place before The Flash 1x04. Because the last scene was hinting at the mini crossover. Felicity was learning that his friend has woken up from coma and was going to visit him, and then she was in The Flash 1x04.

Adventures of Supergirl:
There's a week between #3 and #4.
#7 takes place a week after Supergirl 1x06 and three weeks after #4
#7, #8, and #9 take place in the same day

In Supergirl 2x11, Kara mentions of her Earth birthday, which was in December 15. And Supergirl 2x09 was about a week after Invasion! So 2x09-2x11 should probably be in between Invasion! and The Flash 3x09 in the timeline.

Chronicles of Cisco Post 50 takes place before Flash 3x12's last scene. In the post, Cisco talks about him and Wally "pining for their other-Earth baes" (Gypsy and Jesse). And as Jesse's return occurs in 3x12's last scene, the post has to take place before that.

The Flash 4x02 needs to take place before Arrow 6x02. An article in The Flash 4x02 says "Mayor Queen is the Green Arrow". This was claimed at the end of Arrow 6x01, and Oliver got clean at Arrow 6x02.

It's very likely that Legends 3x01 is before Flash 4x01. Because Wally and Nate's dialogue implied that Wally was still The Flash and that Barry hadn't came back yet.

In The Flash 5x04, it is said that the memes about Ralph (from 5x03) were from "a few weeks ago". And in 5x17, the entry about Spencer Young (who appeared in 5x04) is specifically dated as May 31, 2018.

There's a two-week gap between The Flash 5x04 and 5x05. And, Chronicles of Cisco post 86 takes place after 5x05.

There's a week in between The Flash 5x05 and 5x06.
