Huys, in one of the cases in Batman: Arkham Origins - Blackgate: Deluxe Edition, there are a lot of non-Gotham Villains (one example is Count Vertigo) who are being searched by a misterious man from Metropolis, so this is 100% Lex Luthor. With that in mind and the fact Bats doesn't know Lex at this point in time, (8th April 2014, for who is asking) we can deduce that Batman and Superman haven't met yet, and the Justice League doesn't exist. So it's probable that during 2014, Bats will further investigate this leading to his 1st encounter with Sups and Luthor. So we can further tell that the Justice League was founded sometime between 2014 and 2019.

P.S. The founding of the Justice League has to happen before Arkham Asylum cos the events of the trilogy are one following the other basically (you have to see the complete story with the tie-in media). So for having a more precice date: The Founding of the Justice League of America happens sometime between 9th April 2014 and May 2019.
 
okay, I while back, I started studying the Arkham games to see where the side missions could fit, with the story mode, to have it more cohesive. So I finished my study on Batman: Arkham Origins and his DLCs (I'm on Origins Blackgate now and do you know that Toyman is actually dead in the Arkhamverse? He died during the events of Blackgate, so another Superman reference), so here's what I gathered:

First of all, I used this Walktrough as a basic, then I changed the order of things to put them better with the whole story; another thing of note, for me the perfect beginning is the beginning of the game, but I have a placement for all the tie-in medias taking place before Arkham Origins; and lastly but not least, this isn't a timeline, we already have that thanks to our great @UltimateWhovian7 this is basically an help (maybe a companion order is the right term) to Mr. @UltimateWhovian7 in creating a Watching/Playing/Reading Order, so let's begins:

Playing/Watching/Reading Order (Only Main Game):
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 1: "Searching Black Mask in Blackgate" (Chapters name taken from the Batman: Arkham Origins: Official Guide; Chapter ends after the Batcomputer cutscenes)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 2: "On the Trail of the Penguin" (Until Unlocking Enigma Side Mission)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Side Missions: "Enigma" (From this point on You can go collecting all the collectibles, I won't list where to collect them here, but if you want you can collect them following the walktrough link I gave to you)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 2: "On the Trail of the Penguin" (Chapter Ends after Leaving The Final Offer)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Side Missions: "Anarky"
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 3: "Investigation on the New Criminal" (Until Leaving the G.C.P.D.)

Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 3: "Investigation on the New Criminal" (Until Leaving the Sewers)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Side Missions: "Mad Hatter"
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 3: "Investigation on the New Criminal" (Chapter ends with the bank explosion)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 4: "A Trail to Follow" (Until Leaving the Bank)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Side Missions: "Shiva" (I think that's the best point on where you can start the quest, it is literally 5 steps further the bank and after meeting Shiva, Bats will tell to her he doesn't have time for this, reflecting this point of the plot perfectly, also you could say that Shiva and Deadshot appears on the TV screans of the Royal Hotel, but I also think that's not canon, If didn't happen nothing to them, I see no reason for their absence at the reunion)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 4: "A Trail to Follow" (Until Unlocking Deadshot Side Mission)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Side Missions: "Deadshot" (I explained Deadshot point with shiva, plus it's an emergency beacon to which Bats will answer Immidiatly, and if you don't think that Bats doesn't deals with both Deadshot and Shiva at this point, just wait for Chapter 6's title)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 4: "A Trail to Follow" (Chapter Ends after Entering The Royal Hotel)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 5: "Between the Shadows of the Royal Hotel" (Chapter Ends after defeating Joker)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 6: "Two Assassin's on the Loose" (Until leaving the Batcave)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Side Missions: "Black Mask" (I left Black Mask here cos I think it isn't something so urgent to having Batman stopping Sionis before getting to Joker, and even then I think doing this during that period of time will slow the narrative incrisenly, so I think doing this here is for the best)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 6: "Two Assassin's on the Loose" (Until leaving the G.C.P.D.)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Side Missions: "Bird"
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 6: "Two Assassin's on the Loose" (Chapter Ends with the Defeat of Firefly)
Batman: Arkham Origins: Chapter 7: "The Final Countdown" (Chapter Ends with the End of the game)

Arkham Origins era finished. Now moving into the Arkham Asylum Era.
 
okay I think we can place the Justice League Debut and forming in 2015. I saw Assault on Arkham, and Bats knows Waller. In the comics, animated projects and movies, Bats meet Waller for the 1st time after founding the league. Since the arkhamverse isn't too distant from comic books, and the fact that at 90% Batman and Superman met in 2014. We can place the league founding in 2015, 1 year after Batman and Superman met and 1 year before the events of Assault on Arkham.

This is for Mr. @UltimateWhovian7. I saw the movie with the Blue Rai Disck, so here's a chapter breackdown for you if you want to devide the movie in chapters:

Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 1 (0:00:00-0:09:50)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 2 (0:09:51-0:20:56)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 3 (0:20:57-0:30:06)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 4 (0:30:07-0:38:56)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 5 (0:38:57-0:50:28)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 6 (0:50:29-0:59:17)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 7 (0:59:18-1:09:11)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 8 (1:09:11-0:12:52)
Batman: Assault on Arkham: Chapter 9 (1:12:53-1:15:55)
 

They make some references to assault on Arkham with the penguin. Also a lot of references to the bigger DC universe.

P.S. We don't know yet, if this Flash Is Barry or Wally.
 
Anyway, saying this here, if they actually kill the Justice League, then Suicide squad Will be the end of the Arkhamverse.

If this Is true would be really disappointed. I really want to see an Arkhamverse Darkside.
 
My preferred format (if you want):
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 1 (0:00:00 - 0:09:50)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 2 (0:09:51 - 0:20:56)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 3 (0:20:57 - 0:30:06)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 4 (0:30:07 - 0:38:56)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 5 (0:38:57 - 0:50:28)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 6 (0:50:29 - 0:59:17)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 7 (0:59:18 - 1:09:11)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 8 (1:09:11 - 0:12:52)
Batman: Assault on Arkham Chapter 9 (1:12:53 - 1:15:55)
 
Another thing Is that Green lantern Is brainwashed by Brainiac, While Flash not.
We could Say that at that Moment only Green lantern Is "evil", but Amanda Waller still gives the order to kill the League. So my theory, the people Who were taken by Brainiac by the time that the Squad shows up are Superman and Green Lantern. Then Flash Will be taken, followed by Batman, and Wonder Woman Will be a recruit, Like penguin. Also the Speed force guntlet comes from dr. Sivana.
 
In one trailer, Batman visibly hesitates a punch, like he's resisting the mind control. I mean, it makes sense since he's fought Scarecrow, Mad Hatter and Joker in his mind multiple times now.

Anyway, with continuity regarding the movie and comics, my personal views is to not worry about it. This is comics, we can literally create an explanation for anything. Regeneration, alternate timelines, alternate universes, clones, identical twins, it doesn't really matter. I mean, Joker could literally come back to life and it wouldn't surprise me (don't do that though, lol).

Captain Boomerang was dead, now he's alive again. Enjoy your game.
 
Giving my prediction on the game:

The Suicide Squad WON'T kill the Justice League, and Batman Will sacrifice himself to defeat Brainiac, then if the Arkhamverse Will continue we Will get a Superman game.
 
Guys, a rumor says that the First post launch character Will be killer Croc. Courious to see if he remaind in his Arkham knight design or if he mutated Even further.

Yeah...

To be fair, Batman should have used the middle stick to dodge Harley's gun fire.

Oh, and they use the multiverse at the end so that you can keep fighting Brainiac forever and they can introduce Joker as a playable character.
That's probably a quicktimed thing. The long bits of silence made me think the more talking, the more you run outta time to actually change the outcome.
