DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

Yes, exactly. I remember having to explain how the Ewok films aren't canon despite the fact that their events happened in the new timeline recently.

So it's basically how the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batman films happen on Earth 203?

so far everything i can think of that has been referenced in cc:

- a mission led by waller of a team that included peacemaker, rick flag and weasel (and resulting in the death of rick flag jr) occurred around 2 years prior to creature commandos (this is a clear reference to the suicide squad, however outside of these specific details anything could be subject to change in any kind of flashbacks or retellings)
- john economos injured his leg during another mission for waller, more recently than the one mentioned above, stopping an alien invasion; this mission eventually results in waller no longer able to recruit humans (this is a clear reference to the events of peacemaker season 1, however we still have yet to know to what extent that entirely happened in this universe; gunn has said it will be directly addressed in season 2) [to contrast this, in dceu canon in may 2023, around when cc is assumed to be, but not yet known for certain, in the dcu, economos' leg is now fully healed and waller was also involved in the formation of the jla, both things clearly are not meant to have happened within the dcu]

I guess? Eh, not enough information.

There's a Monday, May 19th newspaper in Superman, which matches 2025.

What scene?

It's a close up of the supposed "Gorilla Grodd" newspaper that was spotted.

Where did he find that newspaper prop?

 

[selfishmisery]

There is a thursday May 20th on set too.

So if anything, two things:
Superman has been active for 5 years or more.
And if unless these appear onscreen, they aren't enough. Intentional dates on props aren't always accurate.

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

Alternately, it could just be a concept or protocol not enacted yet in the DCU; something set up by select heroes as a measure they will only do when necessary a la a world-ending event.
