DC's Non-DCAU Animated Timelines

[Dallas Kinard]

These are characters with no consistent backstory and a show with no continuity.

Whatever they reference in TTG regarding any other DC animation property is gibberish. The crossover with TT the original show is probably all you need for non-"Fifth Dimension"-esque logic or continuity.

I think I'm going to agree with you on this. I was driving myself mad trying to include every episode of Teen Titans Go that's even slightly referenced including character references. This means including every single episode that features Trigon and Santa Claus. But the lack of continuity in that show is driving me insane so I think I'm just going to discard all those episodes and call it a day.

Yeah that show is set in a realm devoid of logic and, like the definition of the Fifth Dimension, run on "pure imagination".

If interested, here is my "Earth-2003" viewing order. It includes The Batman, Legion Of Superheroes and Teen Titans. I see no reason why the three of them, which all aired the same time, were separate from the DCAU and featured similar tones and art styles, cannot share a DC universe.

I just found a really cool easter egg in Episode 1.05 of Legion Of Superheroes "Champions".

In the center of the main arena, there's a banner that reads in Interlac: "Batman Lives".




I guess that means the hologram technology that Bruce developed in "Artifacts" is still being used OR there is an unknown successor that took up the mantle by the time of the 31st century. Very cool nod either way.

You mentioned that you're including Legion of Superheroes in your version of the The Batman/Teen Titans Universe. Is there abything connecting there, other than the similar tone/style/realease? Just curios

Nothing super concrete that makes it 100% absolutely positively connected. But in this post I go over some of the little bits of evidence that I think could absolutely make it work. I will say that it's very similar to Teen Titans in that it's about a young group of heroes with one major popular character in this case being Superman instead of Robin. Other than small little nods at the larger DC universe there really isn't anything that I can say absolutely connects them (the flip side there's nothing that contradicts that I could find either).

However they both are DC productions, they aired around the same time and feature tonal and aesthetic similarities. I guarantee you when these three shows were airing there were plenty of young kids that assumed that they were all connected since they were DC shows that shared similar art styles and tones. Once you get an understanding that this is all fiction and Canon can be whatever you want it to be as long as there aren't illogical contradictions it's a freeing experience my friend. This is why creative like James Gunn are so hesitant to outright claim what is and isn't Canon. It's far more fun when you can believe what you want to believe without such strict adherence to "rules"
