Arrowverse / DC-CW Timeline (v 3.0)

[selfishmisery]

@Rman Yeah I think 2024 is a huge fuck up. Because Lois and Superman get married the same year they meet, in late-2003.

But if you consider present day as 2024, you get this huge gap in history/flashbacks between 2003 and 2007 per the "17 years ago" from when Lex was put in jail. I'd say he was locked up in 2005 as opposed to 2007.

2020-2022 is the best option going forward and I think 2024 on Sam's grave was a f-up on the prop department.

Like I said probably just them lazily putting the season's release year.

I've learned about the surprise cameo in S&L's finale.
1.) It's not who you think it is.
2.) It 100% brings S&L into the Arrowverse in a way I don't fully understand yet.

So no S&L into the arrowverse?

Correct.

It is an interesting ending, I'll say. Reminds me of Lucifer actually.

Lemme think on this.
We're probably at a Earth-Thirty-Two situation where it somehow Hypertime'd out of Earth-Prime at some point.

I only have theories regarding that, but ultimately I might have to put the timeline in the reserved space in the Non-Arrowverse thread.

Earth-Thirty-Two

Reality names were reused several times. See also Earth-32, Earth 32, Earth -32. Earth-Thirty-Two is a reconciliation attempt, primarily used to explain inconsistencies and non-canon events of Earth-One. Hal Jordan of Earth One once traveled to this Earth. In his brief visit, it appeared very...

The time dilation it took for Clark to get to Inverse World was 32 days plus the one day to get back

Lois: "It's been 32 days since Lex was released from prison."

Clark: "It [Sam Lane's heart] allowed me to live 32 more years."

Earth-32. Some theories regarding Hypertime BS I'll bring up at a later point.

Spoiler: how Superman and Lois ISN'T connected to Arrowverse

Superman & Lois, while initially connected to the Arrowverse through its introduction in Supergirl, was revealed to be set in a separate universe within the multiverse. Superman & Lois's titular stars, Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch appeared as Clark Kent and Lois Lane in Supergirl and The Flash. However, COVID-19 restrictions and the cancelation of another crossover event prompted Warner Bros. to keep Superman & Lois in a separate continuity. This was confirmed in season 2 through the multiverse

Thought to spoiler tag JUST in case...

I'm aware of this. Sometime after Diggle's guest appearance in season 1 and well after the Batwoman crossover fell through I guess is when, creatively, it became another universe.
