DC Live-Action Multiverse - Viewing/Reading Order

[Pro Bot]

Would the Superman cartoon be set in a time during the 21st century (or be set in the 40's but that Earth is behind nearly 80 years compared to Earth-1) as Lois Lane isn't an old woman when the antimatter wave hits Earth-F?

Eh, depends. If you consider that Lucifer is referencing an upcoming event in his cameo, not that Crisis hit Earth-666 between 2011 and 2016, then sure.

The wave of antimatter would have to come around the same time for every universe. For example red skies happing on Earth-666 in 2011, but if that Earth was wiped out in 2011 for Earth-1, they would of known of crisis and universes getting wiped out well in advance. So 2011 on Earth-666 would have to occur at the same time as 2019 on Earth-1.

It's not necessarily in 2011, it's within the 5 years before the series began, not 5 years before.

I wouldn't think too much about it. It would've been silly seeing a 100 year old Lois working for the Daily Planet.

Earth-1, Earth-38, Earth-66, Earth-89 and Earth-90 are at the same time at least, so it's an exception rather than the rule.

When they went to Earth-16, it was mentioned as the future and an alternate universe. If it was the Starcity 2046 reality contrary to my belief, the Legends definitely travelled to the future to get there. Crisis hadn't happened yet. If it were that timeline, the particular scene in Crisis is before the episode, where he recognized Sarah.

Earth-99 too, though that's not as concrete.

 

[moonholls]

Just want to put out there that this is possible and it makes me happy.

Imagine a multiversal crossover Justice League?

Superman (Earth-96)
Batman (Earth-89)
Wonder Woman (Earth-76)
The Flash (Earth-90)
Captain Marvel (Earth-74)
Green Lantern (Earth-11)
Aquaman (Earth-207)

On that note, a wish list:
Earth-5
Batman Begins
Batman: Gotham Knight
The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises

Earth-14
Gotham
Pennyworth

Earth-11
Green Lantern

Earth-71 (preferably Earth-9)
Swamp Thing

Earth-74
Shazam!
The Secrets of Isis

Earth-78
Superman: The Movie: Special Edition
Superman II
Superman III
Supergirl
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

I think it is likely we see Supergirl from the Donnerverse. With Green Lantern being the least likely unless we see a side character since Ryan Reynolds is to high profile.

Almost certainly not, but if they tell him they want to kill him off immediately in a fight with the Anti-Monitor similar to the X-Force in Deadpool 2, he might unexpectedly do it for lols? It would be funny, if not a little insulting.

Even less likely is the Nolanverse, which is understandable.

On the positive side, any of these could be added in the second issue of the Crisis comic.

Oh, yeah.

Make that super suit green and animated!

Here's a simplier way of looking at Earth-F Superman...it's probably drawn just to resemble the cartoon because this was shown in comic form; but otherwise set in a three-dimensional multiverse.

In other words, looks like him because he is drawn that way, but its not the 40s animated Superman. It's a live action equivalent.

As for Lucifer, Tom Ellis probably gave his own reasoning. I don't think he has a full understanding of how Crisis/multiverse/timelines work. His show could very well just take place post-Crisis via new timeline. Or assuming there are much less Earths after Crisis post-merging, he might set up Lux on another Earth (and eventually meet Chloe per God's plan) since Earth-666 wont exist anymore.

Yeah, animated material in a live action franchise is simply how sonething is presented as far as I'm concerned. If Earth-F Superman appeared in Live Action, it would be like Vixen in Arrow.

A lot of live action Arrowverse characters have been shown in cartoon form, for example Green Arrow, Flash, Vixen, Ray and Earth-66's Batman and Robin.

So it is the Superman from the animated film series?

That's what I believe.

 

[moonholls]

That's what I believe.

On Crisis Aftermath when Marc Guggenheim was asked about the cameos and he confirmed that they made those shows and movies canon, shows that all cameos are intended to add to the canon

 

[Dok95]

Lol why is it called Earth-76 while the Wonder Woman show began on 1975?

Same for the 77 comics?

 

[selfishmisery]

There was a Superman on Earth 75 already in Crisis. I would assume that was Supes from the 1975 TV musicial.

Because the show began in 1976, the tv movie came out in 1975.

In Lucifer 2x03, there's a part where one site the killer puts a message up talking about "Judgement Day" and Lucifer mocks it and states that the actual judgement day isn't due for another couple years.

Well, I think Crisis might classify as some sort of Judgement Day. "It's all very biblical".

Yeah, I'm thinking into this too much, aren't I?

Cool idea, but hasn't Crisis already happened by that point.

That's assuming Tom Ellis was right and that Lucifer wasn't talking about an upcoming event.

 

[selfishmisery]

1.) Lucifer is joking.
2.) He can see through other timelines in the comics via omnipresence.
3.) Lucifer (the show) takes place in 2016 to 2017 so he is technically not wrong if it was Crisis. But again he was joking because it occured in an older timeline maybe?

That's true. Earth-F Superman could also be the same one from the 1940s serials presented to us in 'animated' form.

The suit is different, especially the logo. I can't find anything linking these two Supermen together.

I'd like to see the Batman and Superman serial universes, actually.

Yeah, theres more linking The New Adventures of Bat Man to Earth-66, dispite a few inconsistencies like Batgirl, Riddler and the Batmobile.

https://braveandbold.fandom.com/wiki/Batmen_of_the_MultiverseIn theory, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, DC Animated Universe, Superfriends, The Batman and Scooby-Doo would be canon. Supernatural doesn't count, that episode was a remix of a previous episode except with Supernatural characters inserted into the story.

Will I include this?


Well, I guess I'd have to binge DC Animated Universe and the Watchtower Database, Keeping note of every date mentioned, and read every comic tie in and the hundreds of books, watch every Scooby-Doo episode, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Superfriends and The Batman. Then I'd have to consider things with similar animation styles. Is Superman: Brainiac Attacks in the multiverse? Is Gods and Monsters? Then I'd have to consider whether the The Dark Knight Returns Batman is an alternate version or the animated version, possibly adding Batman: Year One, DC Showcase: Catwoman and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: Deluxe.

I think it's fairly clear what is canon and what's not for now. If you want to count this one second cameo, awesome.

Those are more glaring inconsistencies than a different costume lol. Superman has changed suits more than RuPaul.

I think they are more easter eggs than establishing canon anyway.

I was wondering what it would be like for the Injustice games to become canon. Then I was wondering if there are already any canon games, I know there is Superman Returns and Catwoman on PS2. I have no idea with this, do any of you guys have an idea?

Those are adaptations of the stories.

If Injustice was canon, than:
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Injustice 2 Superman ending for IvMotU
Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year One-Five
Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year One-Five Annuals
Injustice: Ground Zero
Injustice 2
Injustice vs Masters of the Universe
