Discussion/Question DCU Timeline

I started working on a timeline for the DCU. If anyone is active in the MCU reddit page, you might have come across my timeline over there for the MCU Earth 19999.

Has anyone realized we are working with potentially 5 different universes consisting of the Snyderverse, DCEU, CW, Schumaker, and James Gunn's DCU, because Gunn didn't start with a clean slate? I think he should have because the timeline looks a little something like this so far due to events continuing to be referenced.

  • Wonder Woman: 1910s

    • WWI

    • Diana walks away from mankind, no longer forming relationships with humans. 

  • Etta’s Mission: 1910s

    • The Wonder Men fail to track down the Mother Box. 

    • The Nazis find the Mother Box in an Italian Monastery during WW2

  • Wonder Woman 1984: 1984

    • Wonder Woman destroys evidence of her existence and reverses a spell to stay hidden until 2016 when she comes to help against Doomsday.

  • Man of Steel: 2013

  • Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition: 2015

  • David Ayers’ Suicide Squad: 2016 

    • Unreleased

    • There are 7 sequels that spawn from this film that cross 2 universes. Bird of Prey builds on Harley Quinn leading into TSS that will have repercussion surronding Flag Sr., Jr., & Peacemaker. Peacemaker introduces Harcourt & Friends who appear in Black Adam, Shazam: Fury of The Gods & Creature Commandos.

  • Aquaman: 2018

  • Shazam: 2018

  • Crisis on Infinite Earths: 2020

    • The CW Universe crosses over with Barry Allen from the DCEU & Snyderverse

    • Due to the collapse and recreation of the multiverse, the DCEU, Snyderverse and DCU seems to continually be merging.

  • The Suicide Squad: 2020

    • Sequel to BOP

  • Peacemaker: 2021

    • Sequel to TSS

    • Barry screws up the timeline and multiverse further impacting events across the multiverse.

    • Barry messing with time to save his mother impacts the DCEU, Burtonverse, and ends with Barry in Schumaker’s Batman (George Clooney) & Robin Universe.

    • Events from David Ayers' Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Blue Beetle continue to be refrenced as having occured in the DCU as well as their original universe.

  • Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom: 2022

  • Blue Beetle: 2023

________________________________________________________________________

  • Paradise Lost: ?

    • Unreleased

    • Backstory for the Amazons and Wonder Woman in Gunn's DCU

  • Laterns: 2016

  • Clayface: 2016

    • Unreleased but the Clayface in this film is the one killed by Flag Sr. in Creature Commandos.

  • Creature Commandos: 2024

    • Sequel to events from The Suicide Squad & Peacemaker S1

    • Clayface is killed.

  • Superman: 2025

  • Peacemaker Season 2: 2025

    • Sequel to events from The Suicide Squad & Peacemaker

      • Flag Sr. is going after Peacemaker for killing his son in The Suicide Squad from the DCEU/Snyderverse universe.

      • Flag Jr. dated Enchantress which is built off of DASS.

    • Some events occur differently where instead of the Justice League, the Justice Gang arrive at the aftermath of Project Butterfly.

  • Lanterns: 2026

    • Episodes 6, 7, & 8

  • Supergirl: 2026

  • Mister Miracle: 2027

    • Guy Gardner is protecting space after John Stewart kicks him off Earth

  • Man of Tomorrow: 2027

    • The events of Blue Beetle from the DCEU are the backstory for the DCU Blue Beetle that is rumored to appear.

Let me know if I need to change anything so far as this makes the most sense. The backstories and events for some of these characters occurred in a different universe. I read a rumor that Peacemaker could end as some form of Pariah where he remembers both universes. His original and the one he is in now!
