Batman (1966)/Wonder Woman (1975) - Timeline (outdated)

[Megatron]

When has the existence of the megaverse ever been implied?

I think from the 70s.

 

[Megatron]

Why can't two multiverses have similar realities?

Why would you overcomplicate something?

 

[iceman109]

How is it complicated that some universes can have heavy similarities while being different?

Having different versions of the same Earth means having different continuities, and so having to know what Is Canon in that version and what Is not. Instead having only One iteration of a universe set in the boundaries of Two multiverses, it's simple becouse you have One continuity, and the Crisis events in a lot of multiverses don't give US headaches since we know that the universe Is set between the 2 multiverses. Infact earth--66 and earth-76 have both a simpler continuity than earth-89/789 and earth-96.

What's so hard differentiating between the live action/animated multiverse and the comics multiverse?

 

[Megatron]

What's so hard differentiating between the live action/animated multiverse and the comics multiverse?

Why the TV series happens in 3 multiverses, but it's tie-in comic and animated movies only in 1? Coz the tie-ins and the movies can't exist without the TV series.

Why can't the animated multiverse and live action multiverse be considered the multiverse though? (Taking Darkseid out of the equation)

You Mean having only 1 multiverse?. For example Crisis events that change the multiverse but doesn't seems to Effect others, equal earth numbers. If you think that the Crisis events are the same and happening at the Same time, You can go to the DC wiki search a known live action earth and find out that the comics have a earth with the same name too, but different. For example, Pre-crisis multiverse, the arrowverse was earth-1, but Hey the silver Age (comics from the 60s to the 80s) Is Also earth-1 in the comics, and both of them can't be the same. So having only One multiverse Like Marvel doesn't work in any way, would only make things confusing and complicated.

I always thought of that each universe has their own numbering system for other earths but it's consistent for convenience of the audience

That is true for Marvel's multiverse. But not for DC. And anyway Like I sayed before we can't have 2 earth-1 etc..

 

[iceman109]

Why can't it be the same for DC?

 

[Megatron]

Why can't it be the same for DC?

For the things we sayed before + nobody has started that.

 

[iceman109]

Yeah but even though it's the same number doesn't mean it's the same earth

 

[Megatron]

Nobody started that.

 

[iceman109]

Why can't some (not all) universes be affected by a crisis event?

 

[Jozaca]

Why can't some (not all) universes be affected by a crisis event?

Honestly I don't see it a problem if the animated and live action multiverses are the same, considering that some Earth's were destroyed by the live action crisis and we're restored like they were before, so it's inhabitants didn't notice, so it could very well be that the animated Earths were destroyed and restored. But for the moment we are considering the multiverses separated, that way there is no overlap between Earth numbers (although there is already an overlap in the Live Action Multiverse with some Smallville Earth's)

 

[Megatron]

Why can't some (not all) universes be affected by a crisis event?

Coz the Crisis events Effect ALL the multiverse that was started in the very First Crisis event. Even Flashpoint affected everything. So we can't have the all the multiverse be affected by a Crisis event

If they retcon Darkside in animation this can work.

The Multiverse is a big place how can it affect all the universes?

 

[Jozaca]

I mean, there has to be already some version of this with the Marvel and DC shared universes. The Darkseid thing is confusing because if Darkseid is supposed to be multiversal in live action and not multiversal in animated, then who is the Darkseid that corresponds to the shared universes? But with Earth-3839, if Heaven is multiversal in DC and is also multiversal in Marvel, but not the same in the two multiverses, when someone dies they go to Marvel Heaven or DC Heaven?

 

[Pro Bot]

DC has a multiversal afterlife but I don't think Marvel does, allowing for different rules to apply.

 

[Megatron]

The Multiverse is a big place how can it affect all the universes?

Coz Is a Crisis, a danger in ALL the multiverse, so yup, Even if It Is big, It affect all the multiverse. If this wasn't the case we wouldn't have the Pre-crisis, post-crisis, 52, Flashpoint, New 52, Rebirth and infinite Frontier multiverses.

 

[iceman109]

How does it affect all of the worlds if it's infinite?

 

[Megatron]

How does it affect all of the worlds if it's infinite?

Well, Like I sayed before, of the Crisis didn't affect the multiverse we wouldn't have the post-crisis multiverse etc...

 

[iceman109]

Yeah but in the comics multiverse the only earths shown were the ones affected by Crisis while there are multiple earths unaccounted for

 

[Megatron]

Yeah but in the comics multiverse the only earths shown were the ones affected by Crisis while there are multiple earths unaccounted for

The other Earths unaccounted Simply doesn't exist anymore. Infact every comic multiverse has different earths (that's another difference with the live action multiverse).

 

[iceman109]

How were they destroyed without being mentioned then?

 

[Megatron]

How were they destroyed without being mentioned then?

Coz there are some earths with the same names as previous earths, but that are completly different.

 

[iceman109]

Earth 789 and Earth 66 weren't mentioned after crisis though

 

[Megatron]

Earth 789 and Earth 66 weren't mentioned after crisis though

They are mentioned in both crises. After dark Crisis a comic came out that listed the earths. And for the live-action multiverse the showrunner confirmed that both earth were restored.
