Will add these today.

Late, sorry. Personal stuff came up.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Late, sorry. Personal stuff came up.

All good. Just finished S1 of Batman TAS, so gonna take a small breather from the DCAU and get back to the Vertigo Timeline soon.

Anymore flashbacks in S1 before I get started again?

 

[selfishmisery]

Pretty sure these have flashbacks in them.

Hugo Strange's "flashbacks" has his present day self immersed in them. So technically, those are hallucinations.

Kinda like the final scene in the Naomi show were the main character flashes back to her step parents killing her biological parents on Earth-29, that didn't count as a flashback when Naomi's present day self is present witnessing the whole thing - at that point it's a 'vision'.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Anymore flashbacks in S1 before I get started again?

None that I could see

 

[selfishmisery]

Currently going through Batman Beyond's placements, plus the tie-in comics and Zeta Project.

Zeta Project has some flashbacks...I own the DVDs at least.

 

[selfishmisery]

I need to redo some of the viewing order too to accommodate that.

I have close to 127+ comics to go through too.
There are 307 DCAU comics (non-adaptation and canonical ones).

 

[selfishmisery]

Hoping to have this completed this month.

 

[selfishmisery]

Should I add the Lobo and Gotham Girls digital short episodes?

EDIT: Definitely not Lobo.

 

[selfishmisery]

103 more comics to go, plus flashbacks I missed, the Gotham Girls shorts and the timestamps for last 3 DCAU films.

 

[selfishmisery]

Hoping to have this completed this month.

Still intend on this if I complete the MCU one in time.

 

[Pro Bot]

EDIT: Definitely not Lobo.

Why not?

 

[selfishmisery]

Why not?

Same reason this isn't. No direct DCAU ties.

 

[Pro Bot]

Fair enough.

 

[barryh]

Same reason this isn't. No direct DCAU ties.

Lobo's webseries look is used for a statue in Gotham Girls.

 

[selfishmisery]

Later this week I will try to go through these.
Missing a few…

 

[selfishmisery]

Red Justice essentially confirms Barry Allen existed in the DCAU and mentored Wally. I dunno if that conflicts with DCAU canon or if it was just an unspoken bit of lore in the shows.

IIRC you see the Kid Flash costume in JLU at some point in a museum.

 

[selfishmisery]

48 more Batman comics to go through and 40 more Superman comics.

Plus a few more books and Zeta Project flashbacks.

 

[selfishmisery]

40 more comics to go. 11 Batman ones and 29 Superman ones.

There are 4 non-canon issues I won't be including from the mostly-canonical runs:

1. The Batman Adventures #25
2. The Batman and Robin Adventures #19
3. Superman Adventures - Annual #1
4. The Batman and Robin Adventures - Annual #2

The first two have completely incompatible versions of Superman and Lex, plus Huntress.
The last two are directly tied to Adventures in the DC Universe which is completely non-canonical to the DCAU.

 

[selfishmisery]

I need more info about these 3 books

https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/shado...y-gravel/976463/#edition=3718265&idiq=7973427https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/dual-...nimated_geary-gravel/536344/#edition=66120539https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/batma...d-series_geary-gravel/533143/#edition=6805183
EDIT: Read some reviews and exerts of the first book. It's an adaptation of "Robin's Reckoning".
The second one is a "Two Face" adaptation.
The last one is one of the Kyodai Ken episodes adapted.

So nothing new.

 

[selfishmisery]

There's a JL book that I missed and I found it through...means, in order to read it immediately.
https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Opportunity-Justice-League/dp/0553487795Le Fey and her bratty son Modred are the villains. That's all I can gather as clues to figure out where to place it chronologically.

 

[selfishmisery]

From that same era there's like 3 or 4 preschooler JL cartoon (DCAU) books, 24-pages each, that are original stories that honestly don't count, and from what little I've been allowed to see on the Internet Archive are incompatible with canon. Example: Eclipso's origins conflict.

So thank God I don't need to make fans read some lame toddler books in the viewing order lmao.

 

[selfishmisery]

The plan is to finish this on the anniversary of this thread in early October, hopefully.

 

[selfishmisery]

I ordered the blurays for Mystery of the Batwoman, Batman & Harley and JL vs the Fatal Five.

So I'll get those timestamps hopefully this month.

 

[Dallas Kinard]

It took me over ten years to crack the on-screen DCAU timeline. I only counted the shows and movies, so mine is built off of the knowledge that's only revealed in them. Let me know if you have any questions about a particular placement.

 

[Zeitschiene]

What about Lobo?
