DC Animated Movie Universe - Timeline

[barryh]

Your personal timeline's great, I'm just wondering how/if any of the other movies could fit into that sort of headcanon timeline. AFAIK Doomsday is a basically a condensed (and compromised?) take on the same story as Death and Return.

I know that the DCAMU's Pre-Flashpoint timeline was actually supposed to be the DCAU before they scraped that idea (which is good because that's stupid), but I really wish they had canonized the non-elseworlds based films as Pre-Flashpoint. They work really well together as a timeline for the most part.

Here's my thinking here:

1. Superman/Batman: Public Enemies references Superman's funeral.
2. Superman: Unbound continues Supergirl's story after Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.
3. Superman vs The Elite takes place after Superman: Unbound despite releasing before because it references Brainiac. It uses the same theme from Superman: Doomsday. It has a monitor showing a scene from Justice League: Doom. Ace of The Royal Flush Gang also appears on one of the monitors with the same design.

This is how I'd personally list them.

188? - DC Showcase: Jonah Hex
1971 - DC Showcase: The Spectre
2000 - Batman: Year One
2000 - DC Showcase: Catwoman
2007 - Superman: Doomsday
2009 - Wonder Woman
2009 - Green Lantern: First Flight
2010 - Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
2010 - DC Showcase: Green Arrow
2010 - DC Showcase: Superman/Shazam! The Return Of Black Adam
2011 - Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (Sinestro rejoins Green Lantern Corp, lol)
2011 - Justice League: Doom
2012 - Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
2012 - Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
2013 - Superman: Unbound
2014 - Superman vs The Elite
2015 - Batman: Under the Red Hood
2015 - DC Showcase: Death in the Family
2017 - Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

Anyway, not actually canon. Maybe I'll cover every individual DCAOM film timeline one day, I don't know.

I actually did the same years ago. I'll send you a link to my notes.

Yes, but this literally has them on separate but connected timelines. There's no reason to not include Doomsday because a different movie part of a different timeline has the same events happen.

You know when you watch Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox? The timeline at the start is what I basically listed (with Doomsday), then there's the Flashpoint timeline, and at the end you have the New 52 timeline (with The Death and Return of Superman).

Batman/Superman: Public Enemies also references Superman having a funeral, which means the death of Superman event would have happened in that timeline. Once again, doesn't make sense not to list it if we're going in this direction.
