Is there an error with Arrow S3 and The Flash S1 first episodes? In the simplified order, some Arrow episodes (Corto Maltese for example) are placed after some The Flash episodes (Going Rogue) but in the simplified order, it's the opposite?

Sorry if you already responded to it since the episodes were aired 6 years

Follow the detailed timelines order. It was originally like the simplified order, but then changed.

I have that multiverse timeline that I'm pretty sure is right.

I miswrite, so I meant: in the simplified order, Corto Maltese takes place before Going Rogue but in the detailed order, it's the opposite... The simplified order makes sense since Corto Maltese ties with Going Rogue and has to take place before :/
 
I was just rewatching The Flash S1 (it may be the best season) and Arrow S3 since I skipped some episodes back in 2015, I still don't know why o_O
These are the only episodes I skipped, I'll rewatch these seasons in order to be complete, 6 years after haha

I guess this mini tie-in order is not a big deal, since it's not a huge crossover!
 
The Superman & Lois pilot mentions the boys' first day of school and Johnathan making the Football team. So, I think September 2020 is a safe placement as the weather in Smallville looks closer to Fall rather than late Summer.

Thanks.
 
So the episode of Batwoman I'm watching now says the bat swarm from 2x02 occurred on "January 31st".

Do they even keep track of how many months or years pass?

Probably not. A big concern I had with the COVID delays is the effects they would cause for the timeline. I'm curious to see how The Flash is handled this week given it should be shortly after the finale.

I'm currently in the middle of a rewatch before Crisis and just finished the 2015-2016 seasons. Just thought I'd point out that it makes more sense if Arrow Season 4 and Legends Season 1 end before The Flash Season 2. With the timeline the way it is now, they happen after Flashpoint which means they would be in the new timeline. However, Genesis and Schism both show baby Sara who would at that point be baby John. Now if Arrow: Genesis-Schism happens-before The Flash: Rupture-The Race of His Life not only would this contradiction be fixed, but it could explain why Oliver doesn't consider having Barry help him with Darhk since Barry would still be without his speed at this point. After finishing all these seasons I believe the timeline should be:

Arrow 4x20, "Genesis"
Arrow 4x21, "Monument Point"
Arrow 4x22, "Lost in the Flood"
Arrow 4x23, "Schism"
Legends of Tomorrow 1x16, "Legendary"
The Flash 2x20, "Rupture"
The Flash 2x21, "The Runaway Dinosaur" [Speed Force]
The Chronicles of Cisco - Post 39 (Link)
The Flash 2x22, "Invincible"
The Chronicles of Cisco - Post 40 (Link)
The Flash 2x23, "The Race of His Life" [Earth-2]
The Flash 3x01, "Flashpoint"

Why did you copy my post word for word from over a year ago ?

I didn't even realize that....I think it's a "copy/paste" bot account since the Morbius info he mentioned in the MCU timeline thread wasn't even discussed for a year.
 
Okay so the lack of acknowledging Kara/Supergirl and Argo City in Superman & Lois is puzzling...assuming something happens to BOTH, would it be okay to move Superman and Lois to September 2021 instead of 2020?
 
Second question: Since "The Flash (1990-1991)" is still on this list, when the eventual Stargirl crossover comes, should I add it to here?
Same with "Green Lantern (2011)" film since the Crisis tie-in comic made it integral to the Arrowverse's story (albeit on pre-Crisis Earth-12)?

I'm excluding any instances of Earths with their own lengthy timelines like the Donnerverse or Earth-89, Batman 66, etc.
 
You're taking about
John Wesley Shipp on Stargirl,
right?

I think it depends.
The Jay Garrick of pre-Crisis Earth-3 is not necessarily the same character as the Jay Garrick on Stargirl. If he's explicitly not from Stargirl's Earth, I'd vote to fold Stargirl into this timeline. Otherwise, I'd rather wait for a more explicit crossover.

TBF, the show hasn't made reference to any of the other heroes. I think it's just trying to be as standalone as possible for now. I don't see how moving it up a year would help. Until we get more info, I think September 2020 is a safer bet.

I personally feel like this timeline should be exclusively for Earth-Prime. Now if Stargirl crosses over in a significant way like Supergirl used to when it was on a different Earth, then I would say to include it. Until then I think it's best to leave it off.

As for Green Lantern, considering Earth-96 Superman had a decent role in Crisis but Earth-96 is off this timeline. I think the same should apply here.

I prefer each universe to have it's own timeline.

The Green Lantern film should have it's own timeline, in my opinion. I think it's also fair to say that the film only occurred post-crisis, too.
 
The flashbacks from "Fair Skin, Blue Eyes" are placed correctly, but I noticed that the writers and prop-makers each messed up in different ways.

Mary says the college students canvassed the neighborhood on "Saturday, October 1st." October 1st falls on a Saturday in 1999, 2010, and 2021. My guess is they didn't even check, but it's possible that they had a 2021 calendar open.

The prop department put more thought into to newspaper.
  • The second headline on the front page is "US troops narrowly escape IED attack." I can't find a story with that exact headline, but it's very plausible for any date since 2001.
  • The back page has a customized ad for a flip-phone. So far so good!
  • A headline on the back reads. "Russia Approves Kyoto Protocol." There are several real-life stories with that headline, from September-November 2004. (First when Putin's cabinet approved it, then when the Russian parliament did.)
  • Another headline is partially obscured. My guess is "[First same-sex] marriage performed in Massachusetts." That would be May 17, 2004.
Although the dates are different, I suspect they decided it was 2004.

I tried to see if there was a way to make this October 1, 2004, but it's just not possible. Beth/Alice's cat from "An Un-Birthday Present" would have to stay a kitten for more than a year!

The best conclusion I can draw is that on Earth-Prime, both events from the newspaper happened in September 2003. That seems entirely plausible to me.

Refresh my memory but did they say the New Carthage incident with Morgan Edge happen 2 or 3 years prior to Superman & Lois?

There was a missing poster in today's episode that showed someone affected by said incident was last seen in May *2018*.

I noticed the missing poster, but couldn't pick up much from my local SD CW. There was mention of the Harvest Festival coming up, so it's definitely Fall. I can't remember if they said for certain if it were 2 or 3 years, but May 2018 could simply come from them knowing the show would air in 2021.
 
Maybe you can put some "Unknow altered timeline" for some of the Arrow Season 2.5 chapters where Ben Turner is shown to be dead?
(Since he reappears alive in Season 7)
 
Wait a minute.

There needs to be some kind of time jump between Batwoman 2x02 and 2x03 because of Alice and Sophie being taken to the *other side of the world* in Coryana. (Which in the comics I think is close to Greece?)

EDIT: Unless they still have access to a jet/plane, because they dope up the two before taking them to and away from the island.
