DC Animated Universe - Timeline (v2.0)

This is canon. In an all ages comic.
And for context this movie is morbidly disgusting and f'ed up, a HARD NC-17. I would equate it to Batman watching Men Behind the Sun.

What... IN THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I JUST LOOK UP?! GOOD LORD, I THINK I NEED TO BLEACH MY EYES NOW!!
 
I wonder which comics are canon for DCAU. I know some are Earth-12, which is apparently not DCAU.
Not the Justice League Adventures crap nor is the issue with the pre-Superman: TAS version of Superman and Lex in the original Batman Adventures comic.

But what is the context? Why does Batman watch the movie? Someone recommends it to him or something like that?
 
Hold on, I'm confused. I haven't seen this movie, but I read online that the Multiverse collapsed, merging all the Earths into the Gunnverse.

What I find odd is how the Gunnverse seems to be more connected to the animated multiverse than the live-action one. Does this mean the live-action universes are still separate, making them part of a different multiverse?

Also, I haven't watched the live-action Flash movie, but didn't Barry already set up the Gunnverse in that one?

1. This is the thread for the DC Animated Universe, not the DC Animated Movie Universe. They should not be confused at all.

2. The reality seen at the end of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Three is not the "DC Universe" movie universe. That is just a fan theory.
 
Halfway through the comics.
Should be done by exactly a year after I started.

Not counting adaptations, this includes the first two issues of the Batman Beyond comics (volume one).

The reason I divided up some into pre and post-Crisis "viewing orders" on post #2 was a means to explain continuity discrepancies; specifically brought about by Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3.

1.) DCAU Joker is alive after 2009, meaning the events of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker never happened pre-Crisis.

2.) The events of Green Lantern: TAS as pre-Crisis while YJ is post-Crisis explains the canon-adjacent properties without erasing the events that made Razer reunite with Aya pre and post-Crisis, who ended up on Justice League Action's Earth somehow (JLAction could be pre-Crisis Earth-16 but I dunno about that...that would erase the entire events of JLAction post-Crisis for obvious reasons).

3.) If the DCAU is Earth-12 pre-Crisis and My Adventures with Superman is post-Crisis Earth-12, then the existence of Earth-Prime Lois discovering the new multiverse means Earth-Prime is no longer the scorched world we saw in pre-Flashpoint's "Crisis on Two Earths" (PRE-multiverse besides the 3). Dunno what DCAU's new number is, tbh. Earth-2 I guess lol.

4.) The Joker episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold showed Earth-AD (Kamandi's Earth) blow up. That, unlike the rest of the show, is post-Crisis because Earth-AD is destroyed by Crisis (not BatB's Joker) & Batman mentions an Earth-5501 in the final episode of the show, thus almost all the show pre-Crisis and E-5501 part of the "too many Earths" 'cancer' that Dr Fate mentioned in CoIE Part 3.

Chicken & the egg:
Smallville's Crisis --> Arrowverse's Crisis --> Animated Flashpoint --> Animated Crisis --> Dark Crisis (connected all the DC multiverses together via Infinite Frontier in a shared space but maintain their unique elements a la the different Hells in live-action & comics) --> DCEU Flashpoint
