Hmm... could Kara have been an active hero in the DCEU off-screen like Green Lantern? (Based on BVS tie-ins having the logo appear)

Or a poorly drawn Superman.

Blond Superman with red lips. How fabulous.

I wanna remind you that Luke Fox in Batwoman drew a fictional black Batman despite one not existing on Earth-Prime.
Kids can create their own versions of heroes, and I'm pretty sure that's the implication there.

 

[Pro Bot]

Maybe so.

i was referring more to the pod being open in man of steel, meaning she must be somewhere in the dceu

My theory about that is much darker and more in-line with Snyder's way of thinking: I think since Kara was around 15,000 years in the past, the era where Neanderthals became human, she became the missing link in human evolution.

I'm pretty sure that was her fate and DC probably will never confirm that nor would allow Zack Snyder to confirm that due to how upsetting that is.

Of course, Flashpoint could have erased that and shifted up the Flashpoint Supergirl into the current DCEU timeline.

oh that's really interesting and would actually make a lot of sense, snyder was considering having the amazonians be the future ancestors of kryptonians so that would actually fit right in line with that idea

I wonder if when we potentially see the DCEU again whether Ben Affleck or George Clooney would be treated as the current Batman. It'd be weird either way for different reasons...

The Clooney scene was just a one-off gag, not setting up anything.

Ugh, obviously. It's a canonical gag though, and you know that. If the DCEU showed up again, they'd have to acknowledge it.

 

[Pro Bot]

The DCEU still freaking exists, so if it appeared in a multiverse crossover, now or a decade from now, it's important to know such things. It's not an insane thing to ask. Look at Crisis on Infinite Earths or The Flash, clearly there's no such thing as a completely dead universe.

I would have been fine with all of that. Within the confines of that particular universe. Seemed odd to me that the name Kara Zor-El was chosen though. Being thousands of year in the past could have no real connection to comic book character. They could have given character any other name as distance relative in House of El. Otherwise it created confusion and fan expectations that were never going to be followed up on.

The closet comic book comparison to me was the various characters from older continuities that popped in the build up to Zero Hour. Like Alfred Beagle, fat Golden age version, turning up in the Batcave and acting like he belonged there. But Bruce and Tim not recognizing him at all. Or the Silver Age Superboy meeting Kon-El. etc.

That “gag” of Clooney was an echo of another universe. The same could be said of Keaton’s Batman too. How or if Barry ever resolved that back to Affleck or not remains to be seen.

Clearly Snyder's vision became too Elseworlds way too soon, and I feel like that was the first sign of doom for the DCEU.

Contrast to Sasha Calle as Supergirl. We will possibly never see that character again but it’s a credible alternative universe variant.

Obviously none of this was a planned by the same people. But it seems fitting that The Flash showed two different Supergirls in different timelines. Including Helen Slater. Now in this new universe James Gunn starts with Supergirl in his Superman movie. To setup her own movie next year. Unplanned foreshadowing. Not to even mention a 6 season tv show before that. All more constructive to the character than an ill conceived Easter Egg in Man of Steel.

My line of thinking is that anything Elseworlds in sense of an old continuity like the DCEU, Arrowverse, Smallville, etc can always come back in animation or comic format. James Gunn is not ready to do that yet, obviously.

We just need patience in anything non-DCU in the future.

I'm see you looking at my Arrowverse thread, @Pro Bot which I will return to at some point.

Right now I don't have the free time to go and update it right now.

Cool. I'm just prepping for a future watch.

I'll try to fix the viewing order at least if need be, soon.

 

[Pro Bot]

I went through the viewing order and adjusted it separately using the detailed timeline. I can send it to you if you want, but I didn't include extra materials in it.
