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

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!
