DC's Non-DCAU Animated Timelines

[selfishmisery]

Since the Kamadi future in Brave and the Bold show ends with the Earth blown the hell up by Joker, I will read that as a Post-Crisis version of Earth-51, not Earth-23. The Legion wouldn’t exist and that future just can’t transition into a Utopia in the 31st Century.

Something to note about the animated Earth numbers, the reason MAWS got them a bit mixed up is the animators accidentally(?) switched the Supermen for each line, like if you can find the leaked script from before the show came out (I don't have access to it anymore I don't think) it says that Earth-508 that Mxy mentions was supposed to be Super friends Superman and not the DCAU, I forget if DCAU was Earth-12 or 50 in the script it's been awhile but I remember Super friends being 508 because that's always been the consistent number for the brand ever since the Wonder Woman Encyclopedia

Apparently Legion of Superheroes and Batman: The Brave and the Bold have easter eggs to each other, too.

They can't be Earth-66, though. I mean... Earth-66 Batman literally showed up in this one through the multiverse.

It could be canon to 66 if we assume the 66 one that showed up in the multiverse was just a similar variant or something. Similar to how Super friends and Scooby Doo Batman are practically the same universe as well

Interesting. But the League of Lois' say it's Earth-12.

True, it's weird 2 different earths are called Earth 12 in the episode. Probably weren't thinking about it when they did it I guess

I assume he means that Earth-66 Batman's appearance was created "to be canon w/'66"?

I think he meant The Brave and the Bold. That cameo was extremely brief and unlikely to have been brought up...

DCAU used to be Earth-12 I guess and now it's...New Earth-2 I guess post-crisis?

My current theory on GL:TAS stuff is that it more or less occured in the YJ universe and that Aya was blasted into another universe, that universe being the JL Action universe. JLA Adventures Trapped In Time was also stated to be canon to GLTAS, it was said to happen during the space episodes of GLTAS but if we factor in YJ that can't be the case because cyborg is present so it has to be sometime after YJ s4

The versions of characters in Crisis Part 3 were stated to not be the actual versions so the Aya and Razor there don't exactly matter too much in the grand scheme of things,

I miss when there wasn't some dumb stupid "adjacent" canon thing. Why can't we just put things together in a clean way and say... "yeah. This is all one thing." It's just so messy.

Just headcanon that Hal and Killowog were joking around just pretending to not know Guy or John and it's fine I think, it's just those 2 little lines that trick things up a bit. Same thing with Catwoman Hunted, you can just assume Chesire and the League of Assasins called a temporary truce or something for that mission

Greg Weisman is just odd about canon. Idk if you know about his weird thing with Gargoyles and Atlantis. I wonder if he considers the Gargoyles Fantastic Four crossover comic as canon... That would be an insane reality, the Marvel Crossover Universe being Canon to the Hasbro IDW universe but as well as being the Gargoyles canon universe

Hmm... How compatible is the DC Showcase short with the tie-in comic?

Oh god, don't even make me think about it.

The tie in comic is a dream Green Arrow is having in a coma so it could have made him misremember things slightly differently because it's a dream, but iirc the showcase has some inconsistencies with YJ but you could say those are retconned idk. I'm not too familiar with Young Justice in general haven't watched in over a decade I'm mostly going off of research

Lol well with the Marvel Crossover Universe including the Tutenstein tie in comic with marvel characters I guess you can also throw in the Tutenstein cartoon too since I doubt the comic contradicts that really obscure cartoon
