That's how it was in the Superman/Batman comic issues #1-13 being adapted, one Powergirl Kara descended from the Atlantean sorcerer Arion, and one Supergirl Kara, Superman's newly-arrived cousin from Krypton.

I never read the original comic, so good catch.

I updated that post btw.

Hi, looking at your Trello, I was surprised to see a bunch of post-2013 movies set in the Pre-Flashpoint Earth-1. How do you decide which ones? Couldn't most or all of this stuff fit better Post-Flashpoint, especially ones with Damian? If new films reference The Killing Joke or Under the Red Hood too tightly, it might be cleaner to just move those two post-Flashpoint? Or maybe Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should be Elseworld if it's too difficult to reconcile?

If you click on each movie, scroll down to the notes section and it will show you all of my reasonings.

Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons

Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons is a 2022 animated superhero movie under the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line. It centers around Robin and Superboy's battle against Starro. Featured Characters: Super Sons (First appearance) Robin (Damian Wayne) (First appearance) (Joins...

I guess if you wanna view this as the post-Crisis DC animated Earth-1 timeline...be my guest?
It can't fit in any of the prior timelines due to Jonathan and Martha Kent being dead plus Jimmy Olsen's obvious race swap in the film.

If you're to ask me, My Adventures with Superman is going to be used as the basis for a post-Crisis animated multiverse.

That's essentially the new "Earth-12" - something the Lois from other Earths said in-show was "a previous unknown universe".
Hmm. But I think the DCAU will still exist but renumbered is my guess.

Maybe Battle of the Super Sons lies in the future of My Adventures with Superman? :)

Also, Battle of the Super Sons borrows designs from Young Justice and Teen Titans 2003. Its an amalgam of different DC animated universes.
 
The "DC Animated Universe" is where DC thrives a ton. They don't do too well in live action and i mean more the later ones don't succeed. I'm truly glad BF was made long before the chaos. Anyways; DC animated films are so good and i think that's where DC should be mainstay and leave live action mostly to marvel with occasional live action attempts.

I think there are like a bunch of justice league animated films or something and batman so yeah thats what i think
 
I would HAVE to think Crisis on Two Earths and JL: Doom are set in the pre-Flashpoint timeline.

For starters, there are only 3 Earths really in CoTE - Earth-Prime, "Earth-1" and a "Earth-2" that resembles Earth-3 from the comics.
1. The frozen wasteland Owl Man died on could be just be any other planet in the 3 universes.
2. Most importantly, the Crime Syndicate Earth CAN still exist without much of a multiverse. That being the antimatter created universe, sort of it's own thing apart from the Animatter Universe, from this storyline the movie was based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLA:_Earth_2

Then the Tomorrowverse sparked the animated Earths as we know it, created a new Earth-2, shifted the Crime Syndicate Earth up to Earth-3 and rewrote that timeline - then Crisis happened and we have the multiverse that's introduced to us via the DCAU (post-JLU) and My Adventures with Superman.

I don't think that's supported by the movie.

I would think this concept is not limited to animation aka the "local multiverse" created by Tomorrowverse, and probably expands to the wider 'multiverse' including comic Earths. The animation side of things does and will extend that far as we saw in the Brave and the Bold cartoon.

I do wanna clarify I am not claiming my theory as "fact". Just throwing around headcanons per usual.

I do agree that they would be pre-flashpoint Earth-1 if I were to place them somewhere. That does also include Superman vs. The Elite because of the footage from Justice League: Doom.
