DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

I had a story in mind personally that involved Darkseid and time traveling to 1918, but I won't hold my breath. I'm just guessing based on the fact that there's definitely a restructure going on.

What an absolute mess this universe has become. It's really upsetting considering it's potential for greatness.

Honestly, I have to agree with your assessment, @Dallas Kinard.

I enjoyed Man of Steel. Dawn of Justice was a little on the darker side, yes, but I still enjoyed it too. (Never watched the TC, only the UE.)

Suicide Squad .. not so much. Jared Leto's Joker was frankly uninspiring compared to Heath Ledger's Joker. Still, Margot Robbie did great as Harley and the others were OK.

Wonder Woman ... best of the bunch for me, hands down.

I can understand the reception of Dawn of Justice spooking WB execs and them wanting to lighten future films up a bit, but they played it far too safe as a result and butchered/abandoned a lot of elements from that film by executive meddling on Justice League. Zach Snyder doing a page one rewrite - understandable. He likely might have come back and explored some of the elements from the original JL script in the future. From what I've read on the 'Net, I think his revised JL movie would've been a good one anyway (though probably not for the people who already hated MOS and BVS before JL even came out.)

The Justice League movie we got in theaters was an OK watch for me, but going back and comparing with the early trailers we got before Joss Whedon took over, it's glaringly obvious how much the movie was changed after Snyder departed. It's especially annoying since Aquaman is said to pick up directly from where Snyder's cut of Justice League ends.

To put it bluntly, WB shot themselves in the foot by meddling so much on JL and freaking out a little too much over BVS' reception; now they're trying to avoid taking any risks and the "connected" universe doesn't really feel connected at all any more. I have all the Blu-Ray's so far from MOS through Aquaman, but don't plan on picking up Shazam or Birds of Prey. Wonder Woman 1984 I will get, and after that it depends on where the franchise goes.

What I'm saying is, there is no clear direction for this franchise. It seemed like there was before JL was butchered into a parody film. I personally do not want Harley to be the face of this franchise either. I agree with Bruce Timm that there is a very strange obsession with that character and it makes no sense, considering she's a homicidal maniac. Hardly a role model for 13 year old girls.

Yeah, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, not Aquaman, Shazam and Harley Quinn. At least we're getting more Wonder Woman, hope The Batman isn't a reboot because that would be such a waste of potential.

To be honest, the only thing I'd retcon is Batman being a murderer. Other than that, I'd say I have enjoyed each entry in the series, though I really want a Snyder Cut because it's clearly a much better film, finished or otherwise.

Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck both tweeted "#ReleaseTheSnyderCut" on Sunday following 2 years of silence about "Justice League" on social media. Jason Momoa has already been vocal about wanting to see Snyder's version of JL released and then Ray Fisher voiced support as well recently. Interestingly enough, Gal and Ben (portraying two of the DC Trinity) supporting it speaks volumes, I think. Also, Former DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson, Damon Lindelöf, and Scott Derrickson have tweeted in support of the Snyder Cut.


I'm hoping all the support, especially from 2 of the 3 biggest stars of the franchise, will start to crack Warner Bros. resolve on the issue of the SC, but at the same time I'm not holding my breath. t's a shame Henry Cavill's Netflix role prevents him from speaking out on the SC.

Spoilers - Read with caution

So Wonder Woman 1984 won't acknowledge her leaving humanity behind. Pahaps theres a comment in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition, Wonder Woman or Justice League that we can use to rationalise this?
 
19?? (Features Justice Society?)
????
Black Adam** (December 22, 2021)

2022
????
Shazam! 2** (April 1, 2022)
The Flash** (July 1, 2022)
 
On The Batman, set photos confirm suggests it takes place in the 2000s earliest. Doesn't confirm it's not DC Extended Universe canon, but Batman doesn't look like Daredevil, and Batman started in 1994, so he'd have been Batman for 6 years at least, not the Batman we have had described to us.

The poster for Black Adam looks like Kahndaq, and the Justice Society members that we know are in the film are Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Doctor Fate. Johnson said it's an origin story. Is it possible it's set in 1600 B.C.?

If Flashpoint does radically change the timeline, will you handle that like the Revised Timeline?

Yeah I have a plan for that.
 
I wonder if the scene in Arrow 8x08 will be shown in The Flash 2022 movie!

Maybe Barry Allen (DCEU) will tell something like "I had the idea to the name of The Flash thanks to a strange encounter..." :p

The head of WB mandated that Ezra Miller cameo, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is going to be acknowledged in the The Flash movie.
 
There is a new animated series on HBO Max named Aquaman: King of Atlantis: https://pressroom.warnermediagroup.com/us/media-release/hbo-max-greenlights-aquaman-king-atlantis

It takes place the first day of Aquaman as the king, which corresponds to the end of Aquaman (the movie). It's not officially confirmed that it's canon to the DCEU, but the DCEU Wiki says that it is canon: https://dcextendeduniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Aquaman:_King_of_Atlantis

Do you think it is canon, like a tie-in that takes place between Aquaman and Aquaman 2 (2022)?

Most likely, but I'll wait and see. I thought Titans would be DCEU when it was first announced and it obviously wasn't by the time it came out.
 
Timeline for Birds of Prey?

And without spoilers, is it good? Is it worth buying a ticket for the movie? (Since it is Suicide Squad's "sequel")

I not hated Suicide Squad but I not loved it so... :confused:

I heard it does have some feminist garbage in it, but that it isn't so woke that it'll collapse hard like Ghostbusters did. I'm totally going to wait for the blu ray though.

From what I've heard, that's just rumblings from Ewan McGregor. Quite a hypocrite for him talking about every day discrimination, if you know the guy.

So it's apparently really respectable, thankfully. No mansplaining that Ewan suggested would be present. Sounds like a pretty good film about women coming together when in need.

I always like to keep a nice blu-ray collection, too.

>feminist garbage

Ooof. Not a fan of that vocabulary.
Honestly I don't care if some of the messages are on the nose, I'm a huge DC fan and I don't look for things to be...no offense, offended by.
