In this post, I'll tell you about some multiverses that are connected to DC Animated Universe (DCAU) created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini in the 1990s.
Perchance To Dream universe - this reality was shown in BTAS in the episode with the same name Perchance To Dream. It was created by Mad Hatter device. In this world, Bruce Wayne's parents never got killed and he never became Batman. He also made proposal to Selina Kyle (Catwoman in the original DCAU).
Batman and Superman Magazine universe - it's the reality which is shown in Batman and Superman Magazine comic books and Adventures in the DC Universe. In this world, Batman and Superman met each other much earlier than their DCAU counterpart. Also Justice League was already formed.
Brave New Metropolis universe - this reality was visited by Lois Lane in Superman TAS episode with the same name. In this world, Lois Lane was killed by Intergang, who planted the bomb to her car. This tragedy pushed Superman to the point that he even sided with Lex Luthor to help to take over Metropolis. However, thank to Lois from DCAU world, this version of Superman realized his mistake and went against Luthor, who died.
Over the Edge universe - this reality was seen by Barbara Gordon in her dream, after she was poisoned by Scarecrow gas in TNBA episode of the same name. In this world, Batgirl was killed by Scarecrow, after he threw her of the roof. James Gordon (Barbara's father) learned who was Batgirl and his grief put him in the conflict with Batman. He even made deal with Bane to help him capture Batman, but Bane betrayed him and killed both Batman and James.
Earth 12 - it's the reality, that is shown in such comic books as Batman Beyond volume 3 and Batman Beyond 2.0. It focuses mainly on Batman Beyond material.
Lobo: The Web Series universe - it's the reality set in Lobo's 2000s web cartoon. It focuses mainly on him and his adventures (which are pretty faithful to comic books with him smoking, swearing and brutally killing others). Originally this web cartoon was supposed to be animated series on KIDS WB set in DCAU, but eventually this ideas were cancelled.
Justice Guild of America universe - it's the reality, which is the home world of Justice Guild of America superheroes, who appeared in the comics that Justice League member Green Lantern (John Stewart) read during his childhood. It was visited by Justice League from DCAU in the Justice League episode Legends.
The Savage Time universe - it's the reality in which Vandal Savage became the leader on Nazis during World War II instead of Adolf Hitler. He eventually took over the planet, but also met with some resistance (such as alternative Batman and his team). It was visited by Justice League in the Justice League episode The Savage Time, part 1. After Justice League stopped Savage in the past, the world reverted to it's original form.
A Better World universe - it's reality in which Lex Luthor became the president of America. He led America to disaster and Justice League tried to deal with him. He also killed Justice League member Flash (Wally West). Superman, however, killed him after a little talk in Luthor office. Justice League then became Justice Lords and took over the planet. This version of Justice League met with Justice League from DCAU and they had conflict, but Justice Lords were defeated.
Savage apocalyptic unverse - it's the alternative future created by Vandal Savage in two-part Justice League episode Hereafter when Superman was presumably killed by Toyman with his beam. Savage used this opportunity to defeat Justice League and other world heroes. Unfortunately, he also wiped out humanity by doing his shenanigans with gravity. It turned out, that Superman was actually send in the future which was harmed by Savage. Superman later returned to the past and stopped Savage from doing his mistake.
Superman's happy life universe - this reality was shown in Justice League Unlimited episode For the Man Who Has Everything. Superman saw it due to the Black Mercy alien, which was brought to him by Mongul. In this world, Krypton never exploded and because of that, Superman led a happy life being married on the woman Loana and having the son Van-El.
Chronos future - it's the alternative future, that was temporarily created by the time traveler David Clinton (better known as Chronos) from Neo Gotham. He used his time traveling abilities to impress his wife and take over the Neo Gotham. He also made the Jokerz (Bonk, Chucko, Woof and Dee Dee) loyal to him. The timeline was restored, after Green Lantern and Batman trapped Chronos in the loop.
Superman: Brainiac Attacks universe - this reality was shown in Superman: Brainiac Attacks animated film from 2006. It's diverged from DCAU due to the behaviors of such characters as Lex Luthor and Brainiac, which doesn't match their DCAU versions. For example, this version of Luthor is much more comedian than his version from DCAU.
Note: That is essentially all multiverses within DCAU continuity that I wanted to tell you about. It not really all of them of course. I remember other DCAU comic also depicted what would've been if Bruce never became Batman, but I forgot which series of comics it was and what it's issue number. Also Lobo's web series may now be considered as separated Earth, because DCAU wiki now also claims that. Justice League Adventures comic book may be also set in some sort of alternative DCAU world since it's also has some characters who appeared there before they television debut and drastically different (such characters as Chronos). Also, such DCAU movies as Batman and Harley Quinn and Justice League vs. the Fatal Five may too be alternative reality, but some YouTube channels as Watchtower Database consider it canon. So I guess it's up to how you want to think about it. And yes, you may correct me if I miss something).
