Non-Arrowverse DC TV Show Timelines

I'm not dissing this show, I like it, but holy cow with the endless marketing and now DC itself defending it they must REALLY want it to continue past season one. Which makes me think if CW drops it, that's it. Superman & Lois on the other hand might have HBO Max to lean for a 4th and final season I guess.

Don’t Dismiss Gotham Knights as a Show Without Batman | DC

Don’t sleep on Gotham Knights. Some of you might be dismissing it as “another Batman show without Batman,” but that’s only telling half the story.

Welp. That Court of Owls backstory in tonight's episode didn't line up.... Perhaps the journal meant the current iteration of the Court?

Let me run it down this way (along with info in the moments afterwords not in the video):

Bruce wrote about his experience as a kid. His first case as Batman was to investigate more into his parents' death. He discovers it was actually Joe Chill, whom they assumed was just a thief prior to discovering the original Court of Owls was somehow behind that.

While looking for more information on the Court, no more traces of the organization existed as far as he knew. Leading him to believe any recent findings or revival of the group was just a "fairy tale". (Or at least, with the information he had couldn't prove they existed now.)

Not really a reach, just fills a gap of history during his years as Batman. They are working around the whole Matches Malone and OG Court thing I feel like because they don't wanna make it too complicated for new audiences.

Might bring up the Janus Cosmetics easter egg at the start of Episode 2 (the scene with Duela and the lipstick) to Natalie Abrams. @Pro Bot ;)

And the Wayne Manor sign reads "Est. 1881" - the year Alan Wayne helped build the Gates of Gotham in the comics.

Speaking of easter eggs, Bruce Wayne's elevator code was 1939, a reference to the year of his first appearance.

I guess that explains where Doom Patrol and Stargirl come into the story.
 
1. We know there's a crossover.
2. These shows occur in separate universes.
3. "Maybe your friends are out there, just in a different dimension." Potentially Dick and Kori woke up in another universe or something along those lines.

I'm very curious how they will or if they will fill in the blanks for the Court of Owls inconsistencies(?) as the season goes.

I feel like maybe the characters are still learning as much as we the audience are, and more backstory will be given to us that lines up more with what Gotham established.

One of those "we'll see" deals here in terms of continuity. Joe Chill claiming he never killed the Waynes doesn't make much sense unless the person who did was covering their face. Bruce studying his first case, the investigation of his parents murder, is taken from Gotham. Also, the Court of Owls being behind the Wayne murder is from Gotham too. We'll likely learn more about the Court as time goes on and either it lines up with or contradicts what we know from Gotham.

Exactly my point. Wait and see.
 
So far it's definitely lining up more with 2015 rather than 2023, since every episode thus far has been on a school day for the main characters.

January 21st and 22nd in 2023 are on a WEEKEND. So 100% not in 2023.
