DC's Earth-66 - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

The Flash movie shows Adventures of Superman as having a separate chronobowl to Batman, but just because the tie-in comics suggest a shared universe (Solo #7 confirms a Superman and Justice League exist in the 1960s, the Halloween-set comic has a child dressed as Superman and the final two issues have cameos of Lois, Jimmy, Perry and Clark modelled after the AoS cast), I thought it was interesting how the former has a Jay Garrick and the latter a Barry Allen. I know that's not saying a lot, but if they were connected then it's sort of cool to think about.

Now, can you imagine if they had this version of Barry Allen in the centre of Earth-66's chronobowl, similar to Earth-AoS' Flash? That would have been nuts.

@Pro Bot IMO, it is not a huge deal if a comic is said to take place in 1966, even if that clashes with the show. The writer of the comic probably didn't think too hard about the exact chronology and just assumed it would take place in 1966 since the show is commonly known as Batman '66. It is just a simple error in my view.

I agree. I also think that if I included Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77, I'd ignore the 1944 - 1966 - 1977 dates and go with 1944 - 1969 - 197X instead. There's no need to subscribe to such strict dates all the time.

Solo #7 is included by the way, but it is a bit at odds with the tone since it deals with a dream sequence nightmare where Dick Grayson falls in love with a criminal who murders Aunt Harriett and sends her severed ear back, and then Robin commits suicide. It does confirm Alan Scott, Kal-El and the Justice League though, which I suppose sets up Legends of the Superheroes. I placed it after the other comics because it felt like it should take place in the darker years before Bruce killed the Joker in Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 (even if I haven't included that comic). Actually, assuming that Red Mask being defeated didn't stop Joker from being more violent in Earth-66 (as seen in Batman vol. 3 #135), maybe that's what led to Alfred's heart attack and Bruce killing Joker.

Obviously this is making connections where there are none though by the way, lol.

The Monkees is invalid because "Penguin" goes unnamed, doesn't have the prosthetic nose and has the actor's natural hair. Maybe. You can count it if you want I guess, sure.

Please Don't Eat the Daisies is invalid because the kids recognise the U.N.C.L.E. characters due to seeing them on TV. Seems more like the Superman/I Love Lucy crossover.

No, I'm not adding any of these shows. I just think it's cool.

 

[iceman109]

I would say that the Adventures of Superman cast appearing in Batman 66 are variants

I respect that, I'm just giving it the benefit of the doubt. It's better for the purposes of this whole thing. It's given the same respect as the other cameos. I'm not saying it is the same universe necessarily.

Green Acres has a flashback mentioning Hogan's Heroes

I like how Batman lets a Nazi war criminal go free, and even warns him about O'Hera and Gordon. It's... well, it really shows his priorities. He also implies he's still keeping POWs 20 years after the war ended! lol

 

[Pro Bot]

Random note:
Crisis on Infinite Earths is set in 2019 and yet it has 1960s-style cars. Very Fallout of them. Anyway, Lost in Space is set in a 1960s-envisioned 1998, so that kind of works. I guess you could say the Lost in Space cameo in Batman '66 was actually about a different space mission than the one that occurs in Lost in Space, since they're 30 years apart.

https://fictionalcrossover.fandom.com/wiki/Green_AcresProbably a good idea to exclude spoken references and only include physical appearances in this listing. So, no Get Smart either, I guess.

 

[iceman109]

It would’ve been cool to see a version of Batman Beyond set on Earth 66 with Dick Grayson taking the place of Bruce Wayne

 

[Pro Bot]

Does this count?

Didn't know about this, great find!
I mean it is a physical appearance, so I would assume so.

If I did include James Bond at some point, which comics are canon for that film series? I know I included the Origin and Casino Royale comics on a previous listing for that franchise, but what can we say is objectively connected to it?

Probably the Dark Horse comics that you included on the concept timelines for the films?

A funeral scene includes appearances by many other secret agent characters, including The Avengers John Steed & Emma Peel, the Sean Connery's James Bond and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'s Napoleon Solo, & Illya Kuryakin! Cool!

Personally, I wouldn't think too deeply about it... but it's still really cool.

 

[Pro Bot]

So what exactly do I do with the currently non-existent 23 episodes of The Avengers S1? There's two full episodes and just 15 minutes of the first episode. Do I only include the available episodes? Do I include them with an indicator that they're gone?

Doctor Who (Classic) moment.

 

[Pro Bot]

This timeline looks so silly now, lol. Die Another Day straight into Crisis on Infinite Earths.

 

[Megatron]

lemme do a lil research!

So I would agree to only the Dark Horse Comics, as I don't know if the Dynamite Comics can be canon, I never read a single issue of them.

Tho it still misses the Rogue Agent (GoldenEye) game, and one of the Fates Novels.

 

[Megatron]

btw the man from U.N.C.L.E. and the Avengers does have tie-in media or I'm wrong?
