DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

[selfishmisery]

It's literally 4 shorts about Krypto done in Tex Avery style hijinks.
No big loss.

 

[selfishmisery]

Peacemaker S2 starts at 8 PM CST time.

 

[Maciej Jankowski]

I like James Gunn as a director, too. I think he's probably going to be great for the DCU... but people need to stop asking him about canon.

"It's definitely the Krypto you fall in love with in Superman." - Peter Safran February 2025.
Designs? DCU designs
Gunn? "Not canon"

ok so, why annouce it as canon and use the DCU designs if it's not meant to be canon??? So what? it's in its own universe where Creature Commandos and Superman still take place??? Redundant

The archetype and likeness are shared, but the shorts are just for fun.

Like the Avengers Assemble cartoon's MCU synergy, clearly not MCU canon.
In DC's case, that Aquaman animated mini-series (by the Thundercats ROAR guy) that was slightly based on the DCEU Aquaman.

 

[Pro Bot]

I bet if you asked Gunn if the comic and novel were canon, he'd say the same thing. He's just like this, we know that.

Peacemaker S2 begins in 4 minutes.

 

[selfishmisery]

Spoiler: Peacemaker S2 spoilers

The recap will be timestamped.

Also, apparently Superman and Supergirl worked with the "Justice Gang" in 2023, but probably not as full-on members.

 

[selfishmisery]

Updated with Peacemaker 2x01.

 

[Rman]

Got a little worried when they showed snow and mentioned the cold in the opening scene, but then that "6 Months Later" lined up perfectly. Also appreciated the confirmation that the scene was January and Superman was "Summer" (I'd consider late May to technically be Summer).

"Earth 2"

"Earth 2"

Well it can't be Stargirl's Earth-2 because of the newspaper mentioning Top Trio defeating Ultra-Humanite, who had been in hiding for 70+ years and the same year (2021) in Stargirl.

not close to synergy, also synergy happens cause something is popular and they want you to evoke that it's the same. Here? it was made purposefully to be the exact same Krypto. not synergy

Unlikely, but could it be The Batman Earth-2?

There shouldn't be more than one Earth-2.

 

[Avilos]

There shouldn't be more than one Earth-2.

How would that even work? Meaning the naming, numbering of Earths in the multiverse? Is there multiverse wide agreement on what each Earth is numbered? Is it a geological feature like a birthmark that each Earth is " born" with…
I am being facetious here.

The numbering system would only have meaning to the specific person or Earth that created it. But would mean nothing to other Earths. Even if a group of Earths agree to specific labels… a whole other group could turn up with their own system.

 

[Rojinn]

There shouldn't be more than one Earth-2.

I mean, officially the three Live Action Earth-2s aren't connected... perhaps Stargirl is pre-flashpoint Earth-2?

4 if you count Smallville's "Earth-2"…

In the comics, the level of vibrational frequency between worlds helped Prime Earth Barry Allen to determine the objective Earth numbers for the comic multiverse.

 

[Rman]

Knowing how Gunn talks, I just take him to mean Earth-2 as a second Earth rather than an official designation.

That's my take as well.

 

[selfishmisery]

I don't think we will get any official designations in the show.

 

[Dallas Kinard]

 

[Pro Bot]

Well, yeah. Peacemaker S1 isn't canon, Peacemaker S2's recap is canon. It's allowed to pretend that the DCEU didn't happen because it's no longer in the DCEU.

 

[Dallas Kinard]

I'm fine with it. The DCU and the DCEU should remain separate as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah, I don't think we need a crossover. It'd be funny if Peacemaker met himself and they realised they shared an almost identical history despite coming from hugely distinct worlds, though.

 

[Pro Bot]

I say that but we don't really have a lot of on-screen substance regarding what the DCU's Peacemaker is, so maybe in a few years we'll learn he's actually quite different from our DCEU version. Doesn't look like it, though.

Someone needs to check to see if that Comicbook(dot)com article that lauded that "the DCEU Chris ends up in the DCU theory is confirmed!" is still up or they deleted that by now lmao.

 

[selfishmisery]

I'm not calling it Earth-2 in the timeline. Not yet at least....

 

[myusernameyes]

I'm counting them for myself because I know what he's like and I honestly don't trust his definition of canon. Marvel TV shows aren't canon, I Am Groot isn't canon, the canon MCU comics aren't canon, but a freaking unfinished deleted scene for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is canon. Yeah, right.

nathan fillion's simon williams did a tropic thunder for his new tv show

 

[woodlark_289]

are we going to at least count krypto saves the day as an elseworlds title or just ignore it completely?
