DC Animated Universe - Timeline (v2.0)

Maybe the war started in 72, stalemated then resumed in 88

 

[Pro Bot]

Yep, that was what I was thinking.

Alternate theory, 1972 was when the real war happened but the thing in 88 was a false flag operation thus leading to the rise of Norsefire

Are their any other universes where the tech has advanced faster or slower?

 

[Dallas Kinard]

In Batman Ninja, modern-day Batman, allies & rogues get sent to Sengoku period Japan by Gorilla Grodd's time machine. That sort of time travel could be a useful tool to headcanon a modern-day Batman somehow becoming a 1983 Dark Knight Returns Batman or whatever.

Sure, anyone can do whatever they want - it's all fiction!

In the DCAU and others, they got laser weapons as early as the 90s.
