Don't forget different universes have different numbering systems for other universes

He's going to have like 5 adoptive children by then so makes sense. Can't have Nightwing looking like his brother

40 year old Batman minimum, I guess.

The DC Universe Wiki decided to stick with Earth-2, also known as Earth-X

If I can just say, I personally feel like Birds of Prey, Peacemaker and Creature Commandos should have different colours to Suicide Squad and each other. Same with Black Adam and Shazam!, same with Superman and Supergirl. It's harder to distinguish the series as it is. That's just my opinion, I don't know if anyone even agrees with it though.

Eventually I run out of colors and it becomes a rainbow on the eyes.

Best real world analogy is in ancient history. Different countries or continents had unique names to explorers depending on where they originated from.

I think for story purposes the different numbers of Earths/Universes make sense for us as readers being used as an omniscient narrator device. But does not make sense in universe for the characters. Until we actually get to a huge multiverse style event. Which I hope is a ways off.

My slasherverse timeline probably has 30 colours or something. I think it's fine...

We've had like 3 iterations of this multiverse if that's the case.

1.) Pre-Crisis: Smallville S1-10 + S11 comics to Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths (around 4125 Earths + 8 "adjacent" Earths (Earth-1A, Earth-2A, Earth-19A, Earth-27A, Earth-32A, Earth-38A, Earth-XA and Earth-167A aka Smallville's "Earth-2".)
2.) Post-Crisis (a little over 100 Earths, the exact amount unknown but much less than before)
3.) Post-Flashpoint (100 Earths at most)

to make this even more complicated, in my headcanon to explain how gunn is considering the dcoamu movie elseworlds i have the multiverse as of now set up in 5 stages:

- pre-apocalypse war
- post-apocalypse war/pre-animated coie [tomorrowverse]
- post-animated coie/pre-arrowverse crisis (this is where i assume the post-crisis animated universe exists, as its the only animated universe relative to the pre-crisis arrowverse other than earth-f)
- post-arrowverse crisis/pre-flashpoint
- post-flashpoint aka "elseworlds"

i know this is all conjecture and mostly overly confusing, just wanted to throw in my 2 cents

No it's not fine. It is garish as ****.

I think most people on this site prefer having lots of colours than the same colour for different franchises. :confused:

 

[Pro Bot]

Besides, there's not even that many DCEU/DCU franchises. There's more colour variation in your X-Men thread.

Superman, Supergirl and Man of Tomorrow are said by Gunn to part of the same "Super Family" ongoing story so this helps give that visual cue.

Yeah, and about 7 of them are just different shades of grey lol

 

[stphylcccs]

Though, if we're doing the same colour for mini-franchises, would it be possible to align shows on the MCU timeline with their respected IPs (eg Eyes of Wakanda the same as Black Panther movies)

The difference with that is that it's always been that the MCU shows have the same color scheme no matter what.

I get that. It was just a thought, you can leave it as is if you want, I don't really mind

Not true. Only three are grey and they're all very different shades to one another.

Okay, but why is Creature Commandos the same colour as Birds of Prey? Or even, The Authority being red? Clayface as grey?

To me, that's like making Lanterns red because it has Guy Gardner in it, a character from Superman. I just personally think each character can get their own colours and it'd look better. I mean, your X-Men timeline gives every single film except all the Deadpool instalments a different colour to each other.

I feel like having Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, Peacemaker, Creature Commandos and Waller all the same colour is like if X-Men, Wolverine, Deadpool and The New Mutants were all given the same colour because it spins out of X-Men, or if there was an Avengers film first in the MCU so we gave every solo film of each hero the same colour.

This is just my opinion on that, though.

I would have sent a direct message to @selfishmisery but I'm unable to so I'll just say it here.

I'm going through the DCEU with a friend and wanted to read Secret Files of the Suicide Squad when we get to it. I figured I'd ask you if you know where to find it before I try buying it for myself. :)

 

[Pro Bot]

Also, Secret Files should probably be before Suicide Blonde on the viewing order.

I see, you want to torture your friend hahhaha.

We finished the MCU after 2.5 years of watching! We need a break from Marvel. I convinced him that if the next huge thing we watch is the Arrowverse (after a ton of other things), I'll fold and watch all of the Power Rangers franchise (including Ninja Turtles and Masked Rider)... something I'm not terribly interested in doing, but I mean... credit where credit is due if he watches essentially DC's TV equivalent of the MCU. :p

If you do that, I'll thank your friend a lot, as you'll be of a great help to me hahah

Yeah bear with me. At work.

Have a nice work day, Self!

Hmm... could Kara have been an active hero in the DCEU off-screen like Green Lantern? (Based on BVS tie-ins having the logo appear)
