DC Animated Movie Universe - Timeline

With The Long Halloween finally getting it's full-length edition and Green Lantern coming soon, I think it's time we figure out the timeline of these post-DCAMU flicks.

Personally, I have it like this:

- 2021 -

Superman: Man Of Tomorrow

Justice Society: WWII

- 2022 -

Batman: The Long Halloween (October 31st, 2021 - October 31st, 2022)

- 2023 -

Green Lantern: Beware My Power
 
Assuming it's linked:

- 2021 -

Superman: Man Of Tomorrow

Justice Society: WWII

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (Barry doesn't know about the other timeline in WWII)

Constantine: House of Mystery

- 2022 -

Batman: The Long Halloween (October 31st, 2021 - October 31st, 2022)

- 2023 -

Green Lantern: Beware My Power

- 2021 -

Justice Society: WWII

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (Barry doesn't know about the other timeline in WWII)

Constantine: House of Mystery

- 2022 -

Batman: The Long Halloween (October 31st, 2021 - October 31st, 2022)

- 2023 -

Green Lantern: Beware My Power
I'm not following. Wouldn't Man Of Tomorrow pick up right after the new flashpoint is created at the end of AW?

History was changed in the past, too. Flash doesn't remember the original timeline yet so it makes more sense to me to assume that we haven't caught up with that present time.
 
Think of it like X-Men: Days of Future Past. Original Timeline Wolverine replaced Revised Timeline Wolverine in 2023, but until that point there was a different person running around in that body (who may or may not have been erased - oops!).
 
I'm currently working on the Tomorrowverse. I won't be doing chapters for The Long Halloween until the Deluxe Edition because I'm just going to replace it anyway.

For something that fans have deemed the Tomorrowverse, it is quite funny that it actually started with the Adam Strange short film.

Is it possible that DC Showcase: Kamandi: The Last Boy On Earth! is connected to the Tomorrowverse? It was included on the Justice Society: World War II blu-ray. The prisoner who gave the Earth-2 Superman his costume might be Kamandi. He looks similar to him and (maybe) implies that he's from the future. He also acquired the Superman suit in the short film which leads into him giving him the suit. That was one thing that confused me about World War II that was never explained much, and I guess we're supposed to assume it has something to do with Doctor Fate.

Of course there's no confirmation of this, so I can't really say for sure beyond a theory. I guess this could place the short film in the future of Earth-2 perhaps? The unnamed prisoner told him "you have to make sure it never happens", so I guess Kamandi altered the timeline by his presence in the past? That, or he was plucked from "Earth-AD" (comic name for Kamandi's post-apocalyptic future) by Doctor Fate to give Clark the suit.

I don't feel comfortable including it due to how speculative it feels without confirmation, so I won't.

I mean, look at the artstyle. It's basically the exact same.

I'm okay including it with a note about it being disputed at least.

If they end up connecting the DC Animated Movie Universe and Tomorrowverse in the future, I suppose that means that John would have entered the Tomorrowverse in 2021. Let's assume after The Long Halloween due to production order.

The question is, would Barry remember the old timeline? The modern day of Justice Society: World War II is before the "present" of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. We haven't seen Barry after that point. Either Barry's mind is completely altered as well or he remembers both timelines. I'm thinking that they might treat it as if John is the only one who knows of both timelines.

Essentially:
----Flashpoint Timeline----
2015 - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

----New 52 Timeline----
2013 - Son of Batman
2013 - Justice League: War
2013 - Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
2013 - Nightwing and Robin
2013 - Batman vs Robin
2014 - Batman: Bad Blood
2015 - Justice League vs Teen Titans
2015 - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (Epilogue)
2016 - Teen Titans: The Judas Contract
2017 - Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans
2017 - Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay
2017 - Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay #1-12
2017 - Justice League Dark
2017 - The Death of Superman: Part 1 #1-12
2018 - The Death and Return of Superman
2018 - Wonder Woman: Bloodlines
2018 - Constantine: City of Demons: The Movie
2019 - Batman: Hush
2021 - Justice League Dark: Apokolips War

----Tomorrowverse Timeline----
2020 - DC Showcase: Adam Strange
2020 - Superman: Man of Tomorrow
2020 - Justice Society: World War II
2021 - Batman: The Long Halloween: Deluxe Edition
2021 - Constantine: House of Mystery
2022 - Green Lantern: Beware My Power

Timeline Reasoning

DC Showcase: Adam Strange takes place years before Green Lantern: Beware My Power. It is placed in the year of release.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow is placed in the year of release. It is assumed that Clark became Superman at age 22, similar to modern comics. The flashback at the start, with him as a young boy, is placed 10 years ago as an assumption.

DC Showcase: Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth! is set in a post-apocalyptic future. It is included because it is heavily implied that Kamandi is the prisoner who gave Earth-2 Clark Kent his Superman costume.

To maintain production order, Justice Society: World War II is placed in 2020 entirely before Batman: The Long Halloween: Deluxe Edition.

Batman: The Long Halloween: Deluxe Edition is placed in 2020-2021, the year of its original release. I take it as Batman's first to second year of crime fighting. This also helps since there was a picture of him in Man of Tomorrow, showing that he was active during that movie. Based on that, I assume he is 26-27 in the film based on his comic book age, which places the death of his parents in 2002 since he was 8 years old.

Green Lantern: Beware My Power is placed in its year of release.

Adam Strange = FBA026
Superman = FF0000
Justice Society = 2969B0
Kamandi = F37934
Batman = 808080
Green Lantern = 41A85F
Legion of Super-Heroes = FAC51C
Justice League = 000000

Viewing Order

Superman: Man of Tomorrow

Justice Society: World War II
Batman: The Long Halloween: Deluxe Edition
Green Lantern: Beware My Power

Excellent work!
 
The question is, would Barry remember the old timeline? The modern day of Justice Society: World War II is before the "present" of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.

John said he'd guide Barry with magic to change events in Constantine: The House of Mystery. Maybe Barry forgot too. That would essentially mean that John of the Tomorrowverse would be the only one to remember the old timeline.

Hypothetically, anyway. The Tomorrowverse isn't linked with the DCAMU yet.
