DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

[selfishmisery]

Also, I noticed Baseball flags when Superman saves the kid from the Kaiju. So it's baseball season.

So somewhere between March and October.

But also, Economos' leg has been broken for, what, a whole year? lmao

 

[LegionAOD]

That's Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl and Mr Terrific?

Metamorpho.

In that case we're def going JLI/JLA route...

Which makes me think the League are already a thing and Gunn meant we haven't SEEN them in his DCU yet.

Thats sold for me the fact that the events of TSS and Peacemaker happen lately in this timeline. We don't know what happen in the canon version of those movies so we don't have nothing to find a canon placement. I assume that CC is in 2024

Or earlier, if the 74 years line by G.I. Robot is any indication this may be set in 2019 lmao.

i dunno. Gunn says "Modern days". What modern days means? Superman will be set in 2025 (for what i remember).

Hopefully we get an official year soon.

exactly, we still dont really know anything solid, other than "around 2 years ago" events similar to what was seen in the suicide squad occurred (which is even somewhat disputed with the date found on the phone in the movie saying 2020 but gunn saying it takes place in "the year it came out", 2021) and recently enough for economos' leg to still be injured and healing events similar to what was seen in peacemaker occurred, although not likely imo gunn could be shifting the timeline entirely

heres something i found on the dceu wiki

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dccu/images/1/17/Edge_Keys.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20240530221730

apparently this is from blue beetle, you can see a "return to school fall 2023" date

Can Blue Beetle be adjusted to be optional to either 2022 or 2023 since we don't really know what year it's supposed to be? I took the following notes on the film:

- Jaime Reyes can be seen wearing a hoodie that reads "Gotham Law".

- A reporter can be heard in the background talking about Bruce Wayne and his recent acquisition of a popular app. "And in other news, Gotham City millionaire tycoon Bruce Wayne just bought social media platform Twitter for a whopping $70 billion dollars."

- The following references to other heroes are made in the film: "Like Superman in Metropolis or The Flash in Central City". "You can't fly. Superman can fly." "Like, look at this. It's like Batman's stuff, but…like if he had ADHD or something." and "Batman's a fascist."

A "LEXCOR" building can be briefly seen next to the Kord tower. Seeing how in the recent "Superman" trailer, Lex Luthor's company is LUTHORCORP, I think it's safe to say they are not in the same continuity because of this detail alone.

So it's some Hypertime/timeline split/new universe scenario akin to what I theorized with Superman & Lois.
Similar elements shared but each veer off in their own direction.

 

[selfishmisery]

But also, if Blue Beetle is 2023 and Superman is 2022, then LexCorp is the new LuthorCorp the following year?

 

[iceman109]

Wouldn't Blue Beetle be set on Earth 89 now?

 

[selfishmisery]

Hell no.

 

[iceman109]

I thought the characters histories were moved to Earth 89 after the Flash

 

[selfishmisery]

.....huh?

No, they're not.

 

[eloesch289]

But also, if Blue Beetle is 2023 and Superman is 2022, then LexCorp is the new LuthorCorp the following year?

its possible it changes by the end of the movie? like it starts as luthorcorp when he inherits it but because of his ego and hubris by the end he renames it lexcorp?

Uh oh, lol.

No, it'd be Post-Flashpoint Earth-1 I'd say.
