DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

[ChrisLyne]

So based on that opening we can definitely say

Spoiler

summer 2022 for TSS. July would be exactly 3 years but there's enough latitude to keep the original August placement with just the year change from DCEU with Peacemaker season 1 in Jan 2023 (which also has some room to move with how long Chris' recovery time was after his 5 month coma). Which would place CC as summer/fall 2024, leaving time from Flag's recovery before taking over ARGUS in November.

Gunn did imply Suicide Squad was in the same position as The Suicide Squad, etc. regarding the DCU, so not too surprising to me.

If the years aren't the same, I can't assume the months are in the DCU.

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.

I told you.

 

[eloesch289]

has anyone asked him if mister miracle cartoon is dcu?

 

[selfishmisery]

I told you.

Why the passive aggressive "I told you"?

I don't like your attitude. Now I'm definitely keeping it on the timeline.

Now I'm definitely keeping it on the timeline.

I believe that was more referring to this:

Gunn also said I Am Groot isn't canon, so whatever. It just annoys the crap out of me that he's like this. He sees canon differently, I think. Canon doesn't mean important to the story.

If I do it again, will you re-add Krypto? (I'm kidding)

I believe that was more referring to this:

This.

I'm not even mad at anyone but James Gunn, lol. I'm was just being playful there.

Tbh better to confirm that stuff like this isn't canon right out of the gate than pretending they are only to ignore and retcon them later

 

[styphlcccs]

I think the main problem people have is that people write the stories and put their creativity into it, so when someone goes and says "Yeah actually this never happened it's completely irrelevant" it can be quite frustrating for the creator (and by extension people who wanted it to be canon)

It would be extremely difficult to contradict that Superman comic or the Krypto shorts.

 

[Pro Bot]

The DCEU managed to go through its whole life without contradicting the tie-in material.

Am I just tripping (not literally) or did they change the default font?
