I have one question (haha, you know like the hero that inspired Roschach xd): The watchmen universe from the Live Action series is canonically the same as the one that crossed over with the main DC universe in "The Button", "Doomsday Clock" and all of these crossovers?

FEBRUARY 23, 2019 for Doom Patrol S1 E2; confirmed in the Season 4 premiere.
@Rman Any big time gaps that I can squeeze in two years time since Season 3 takes place in 2021?

OK I found something different in Season 1's finale.
They cut out the "6 Months Later" time stamp and added "Present Day" in its place. George Lucas'ing this a bit from how the original DCU version was I guess...
I still need to get caught up on S3. Sucks that they're clearly just setting that episode around its release date. I've been meaning to get caught back up with Titans and Doom Patrol.

For now I'll take the time jump in Season 1's finale as a 2 year jump to 2021. (April 1st, according to Mr. Nobody's magazine.)

DC Comics Multiverse Map. It mixes some Earths from the DC Live-Action Multiverse. There's some overlap for sure apparently.
Earth-789 - The Superman and Batman film series are the same universe post-crisis.
Pre-Crisis
Earth-96 - Superman Returns
Earth-89 - Batman I-IV, Catwoman
Post-Crisis
Earth-96 - Superman Returns
Earth-789 - Superman I-IV, Supergirl, Batman I-II, The Flash
That, or post-crisis Earth-96 is known as Earth-789 in the comic multiverse listing.

I would take this as maybe comic multiverse counterparts. Similar history but not canon to the live-action multiverse.

Dark Crisis: The Big Bang Details The New DC Multiverse (Spoilers)
Tomorrow's Dark Crisis: Big Bang one-shot published by DC Comics, is a run around all the infinite worlds that have been now released courtesy of Pariah's

So, regardless, these films do share the same universe in at least one official timeline.

Versions of these movies happened in the comic multiverse, but the comics didn't happen in the live-action multiverse is what I'm saying.Dark Crisis: Big Bang was said to continue the continuity established in Batman '89 (comic). It apparently confirms that Superman '78 (comic) is the same universe, thus confirming that Batman (1989-1992) and Superman (1978-1987) are the same universe.Dark Crisis: The Big Bang Details The New DC Multiverse (Spoilers)

DC is canonically a multiverse of multiverses in the comics. Dark Crisis actually ties into that. Who's to say that "Earth-789" isn't actually from the live-action multiverse, let's say Post-Crisis Earth-96, but the barriers have been weakened by the events of the series? Barry from the comics just decided to designated it as Earth-789. That seems more logical to me than, say, they intended for them to be alternate versions of the Burton/Donner film universes, especially since those comics are direct sequels to their film franchises. That's my take.
Bruce Wayne's appearance in Superman '78 actually support this due to the timeline and similar appearance to Keaton. Batman '89 references the events of Superman '78 as well, but in a dream sequence.

DC has an atlas of the new, expanded Multiverse in Dark Crisis: Big Bang
There are a whole lot more multiple Earths now, including some new fun and intriguing ones
"There's one big hint about something that actually doesn't involve me or Dan, that came from editorial as a suggestion," he tells DC readers via Newsarama. "I won't go into detail, but I think if you read that list carefully, you'll see a hint toward something that must be in our near future."
Sounds like they might have been teasing a crossover between Batman '89 and Superman '78 as a comic book to me, but that's just speculation. Superman '78 basically referenced Keaton's Batman already. In the context of these comics, they are the same universe. Whether The Flash fits with that is another question, but yeah. I got to include an Earth-789 timeline of course.
Batman/Superman Anthology - Timeline
Earth-89 - Batman I-II, The Flash
Earth-96 - Superman Returns
Earth-97 - Batman I-IV, Catwoman
Earth-789 - Superman I-IV, Supergirl, Batman I-II
Now, personally I'm putting it on Earth-89 but that's just my opinion and I will separate it if The Flash contradicts it. I think it's telling how both Earth-66 and Earth-789, the live-action realities, were visited on the same page.

Might bump Titans season 3 and 4 to 2021.
I definitely see the "2021" on Jason Todd's grave in 1080p on my Mac.

BTW if Raven's scenes in the "Souls" episode span over a year, I need to figure out where the gaps are.
Weird how Donna was on that Purgatory train for two years lmao.

Interesting how New York skylines specifically shot for Gotham are reused and slightly altered in Gotham Knights. A show filmed in Toronto and Atlanta.

A friend of mine pointed out that the building in the background that's as big as Wayne Tower could be Barbara's building. "In three months, he won't have the tallest building in Gotham anymore."
It actually makes more sense than it should, lol.

I guess Wayne Tower got a massive redesign between "2002" and...whenever GK takes place (mid-2010s?)

BTW the writers alluded to a "big surprise actor" appearing in episode 11 of Gotham Knights, and it's someone Nataile Abrams looked up to in High School (which for her would be early-2000s).
Reaching to the Moon here, but what if - star of the popular WB show The O.C. (2002):
If this does end up in Gotham/Pennyworth's very standalone 'bubble continuity', I'm very curious how fans will react. I still think people aren't giving GK a fair chance tbh. I've seen nothing but praise from cast, crew and extras who've worked on it.
But hey, these same detractors/zoomers love stoner BS like Rick & Morty so lmao.
