The Insanely Complete DCEU Timeline

After 10 years, the DC Extended Universe has come to a close, and it leaves behind...a super-sized mess of a timeline. So let's see if we can pick up all the pieces: the good, the bad, and The Flash.

Nobody I’d trust more to map out a timeline for something as convoluted as the DCEU has been. Great job!

[@WhatsBiggin]

The DCEU has been pretty streamlined. It’s everything that’s going on off the screen that makes it seem more convoluted than it is.

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

It's pretty crazy how they literaly made a show for Peacemaker, a character that, at the time, was mainly known just for serving as Alan Moore's inspiration at the time of creating The Comedian for "Watchmen". James Gunn is truly obessed with b-list characters with silly designs

[@-Teague-]

Maybe it's because they have more potential. If they barely have any stories, then there's plenty room for new ones!

[@rjk537]

There are more than enough serious heroes already, so silly is where the fun is

I like the Wonder Woman segment at the end credits (Which is 1:16:59 and 1:17:12). I don’t know why, but they’re just so funny to look at.

[@MinisodaMinnesota]

I literally didn't care about these movies since Man of Steel, but somehow Watchtower made me sit for over an hour with genuine investment. Filming on unique locations for each film like you were in the movie was such a nice touch! I know videos with this much fancy stuff probably won't happen too often because they're likely a lot of work, but I'd *love* to see another one of these someday

[@dcauwatchtower]

It totally was a TON of work, but gonna be worth it if this video does well! Share it around! Thank you very much for the kind words! :)

@@Superlad945how is Peacemaker in a different earth from the DCEU when it takes place in it?

[@extonjonas6820]

What is the benefit of that?

[@OgIKidd]

Fun fact about the "Ice Age" portion, the Earth is actually currently in a miniature Ice Age, which is what allows our species, and most others to survive. We've sat relatively within the sweet spot to allow us to really function and thrive. Whereas temperatures would have to be abundantly hotter for dinosaurs to reach the sizes that they did, and abundantly colder for there to be an evolutionary need for mammoths to have that much fur. So within the timeline, if it's not 100% clear, the death of Krypton could take place anytime between the "Ice Age" or just anytime within the existence of human civilization, including the current era of recorded human history. lol

[@Cr3zant]

No we're not. We're in an interglacial period, a period of time on the earth where ice exists but doesn't cover the majority of the earth.

[@San-nj8fj]

It could just be that the computer is getting late signals. If the information moves at light speed, then it just means that Krypton is thousands of light years from Earth but the pod is somehow able to move faster

[@arcticdino1650]

​@@Cr3zantafter some basic googling I can reasonably say that we ARE in an ice age (as stated by numerous websites including NOAA). We are ALSO in an interglacial period, they are not mutually exclusive

The production quality and effort put into this video is very evident. The Watchtower never disappoints!

[@MarcAquino1095]

[pushes up glasses] Um, excuse me, Jimothy, but you forgot to include in the timeline when Wonder Woman met Charlie Day during the events of a Tide commercial. So therefore, YOUR WORK IS INCOMPLETE! (Kidding, obviously. Great work as always, my friends.)

[@jacobwilliams1223]

Shocked you didn't talk about the "Batman is a pussy" part of Peacemaker where Peacemaker gets into an argument about how soft Batman is for not killing his criminals. Which completely contrasts with Batman v Superman with Bruce having gone off the deep end and having no qualms gunning down criminal mooks. Which just adds another messy wrinkle to things.

[@dcauwatchtower]

I actually filmed (and Coral edited said filming) a shot of me laughing at that conversation between Peacemaker and his neighbor. Ultimately cut for time (the video was even longer once!)

I mean the Batmobile chase and the warehouse scene in BvS are actually the first time and the last time he actually canonically kills people (Darkseid/Evil Superman minions don't count cause it's antilife so killing them is basically mercy and the timeline is getting reversed by The Flash). Gotham's harbour is almost abandoned after all so nobody would actually know about that mess.

[@legoben98productions]

Thank you James for doing this. Still don’t get how people would think that the timeline is convoluted but it’s more linear than what is expected, especially when this video shows the dates of everything. Enjoy your relaxing James.

[@dcauwatchtower]

It’s very linear, but very contradictory

[@lightdarksoul2097]

I don't think people think it's convoluted other than the Justice League cuts and the fact WW84 is really good at messing things up for future movies. Some of movies just never feel like they belong in the same universe

[@jadonshitposts]

Hey James Strecker, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your life-changing video on the D.C.E.U timeline. I mean, seriously, it's like you single-handedly solved all of my problems. Who knew that a video about superheroes could have such a profound impact on my life? Before I stumbled upon your video, I was a complete mess. Addiction, depression, insomnia, and a non-existent social life had me feeling like I was stuck in the Batcave with no way out. But then, like a superhero swooping in to save the day, your video appeared on my recommended list. Your ability to explain the convoluted mess that is the D.C.E.U timeline was truly awe-inspiring. I mean, who needs therapy when you can have a clear understanding of Shazam’s timeline, right? Your video was like a ray of sunshine breaking through the dark clouds of confusion. Suddenly, everything made sense, and I felt like I had the power to conquer the world. But that's not all! Your video inadvertently turned me into a fitness guru. I don't know how it happened, but after watching your breakdown, I magically developed a six-pack. It's like the D.C.E.U timeline had some secret workout plan hidden within it. Who needs personal trainers when you have superheroes to guide you to fitness glory? And let's not forget about the hot girls in my DMs on Instagram. I mean, who knew that understanding the D.C.E.U timeline could be such a chick magnet? It's like I became irresistible overnight. Thanks to your video, I now have a whole army of hot girls sliding into my DMs, all because I can explain the timeline of Batman's adventures. Move over, Bruce Wayne, there's a new ladies' man in town! In all seriousness, James, I can't thank you enough for the impact your video has had on my life. It's been a wild ride, and I'm forever grateful for the clarity, the six-pack, and the hot girls. Keep doing what you're doing, because you're changing lives, one superhero timeline at a time. Sincerely, Jadon A. Lucas

The time that passes between videos may be longer but the quality remains and dare I say has gotten even better. Keep up the great work.

[@OBSDCC7]

Regardless of how you feel about Zack Snyder, or his movies… the existence of those tour guides for Gotham and Metropolis proves that he had really put some thought and heart behind the world. Including a lot of the small details in the costumes, like Green inscriptions on Wonder Woman’s sword and shield, and Kryptonian scripture on Superman’s shield (yes the guides had a writer and the costumes had a costume designer but since Snyder was at the head of these projects, it’s reasonable to assume he would have had at LEAST a hand in planning these things out)

15-20

[@ShinySephiroth1]

The one thing I'd add is you not referencing Knightmare Joker stating that Knightmare Bruce has time traveled several times looking for a new outcome... therefore, I see Josstice League being a result of Knightmare Bruce trying to avert the Knightmare and then having Knightmare Barry go back one more time to create ZSJL... which leads to new Barry creating Flashpoint, averting Knightmare, and casting Knightmare Bruce to know he fixed his mistake somewhere on Hypertime...

[@nicksorenson940]

The amount of production effort that went into this just to have different changes in scenery in relation to each of the films is something to be admired. And James isn't too bad on the euphonium either (that's what that instrument is called, right?). My main hope for the next live-action DC movie universe would be similar to what James mentioned: to see something that embraces the style of the comics more as well as Aquaman and Shazam! did, as opposed to the more gritty, muted style of Zack Snyder that I saw define most of the DCEU films and may not be to every fan's cup of tea. The DCEU never did much to really pull me in to their movies as well as the MCU always did, but based on James Gunn's MCU experience I already have confidence in his ability that he can do the DC universe and its characters... justice.

[@dcauwatchtower]

Thank you! Euphonium is correct!

[@loke6664]

I think it is kinda a shame, DCs animated movies and series are generally a lot better then Marvel's but most of the live action movies are a bit lack luster. It is pretty hopeful that Gunn's Peace keeper show was in my opinion the best of them all though so I hope the next DCU will be better. I think Snyder is a bit too dark to really work well with the rather colorful DCU, Marvel have always been a bit darker in the comics (with some exceptions of course) while DC have been more colorful and hopeful. The Marvel movies were kinda closer to the DC universe then the often dark DC movies at least in spirit. Yeah, it is fine that Batman is darker and Hellblazer (and anything else under the Vertigo brand) should be dark as well, but maybe with some humor in. The general DC movies should not be though, Superman is the most uplifting of all comic heroes and Snyder was not the director I would have picked for that. A Dc movie should be fun too watch, and they have done a great job with all the animated movies there.

I think the second Aquaman movie will be the first under the Elseworlds banner, already making it clear that it's not set in the DCU. As for James Gunn's line about the Blue Beetle, it's about the film taking place in the near future and Superman Legacy being the true beginning of the DCU.

​@@ShinySephiroth1Nah, Iron Man both came out and took place before the Incredible Hulk, although interestingly, they both take place a few years after their release dates.

@@ShinySephiroth1 Ohhhh that makes sense, I didn't really think about the overall timeline until pretty recently to be fair.

This is AMAZING. I’ve been watching you guys since you first started. Admittedly I haven’t seen your content in a long time. The increase in the production quality is INSANE. Please keep it up. I’m so proud of you guys!!!

[@dcauwatchtower]

Thank you so much!

Maybe your best video editing as of yet. Just fabulous and that Tuba is DOPE AF! A welcome palate cleanser the weirder the movies became :)

Thank you so much!

My hope for the DCU is that it prioritizes exploration and steady development of its central characters rather than taking a scatter-brained approach where only four movies focus on the “core characters”. What I hope is maintained from the DCEU is the directors being allowed to express their own artistic vision with their movies rather than the “house-style” approach most MCU movies take. Lastly, thank you, James, for providing an interpretation of The Flash’s post-credits scene that actually gives me closer. Most say Barry’s in the Clooney-Verse, but I like your take that he had to keep fixing the timeline until it was the regular DCEU again.

Most MCU movies don’t take a “house style” approach.

So excited to see the timeline of my favorite murderers in DC adaptation history

[@woebegone_kenobi]

This was an absolutely amazing journey lmao. Definitely feel free to venture out beyond the DCAU more often. Don't get me wrong, I very much want _that_ content, but from time to time phenomenal videos like these (and of course smaller videos unrelated to the DCAU are more than welcome) It also blows my mind that they don't have a dude like you checking and piecing these things together as a connected universe unfolds. You'd think it would matter to studios, but I guess money machine goes brrrrr instead

[@michel0dy]

The production level on this video is so legit! Amazing

[@hectorminator]

Awesome video. Justice for Batgirl!

[@venividi8523]

Have to be honest the moment I found out Killer Moth in that movie was just going to be a generic goon in a tracksuit with a moth tattoo on the back of their head I lost a lot of sympathy for it getting smothered in the craddle

[@hectorminator]

@@venividi8523 How can any character portrayed by Brendan Fraser be anything close to "generic"?

[@venividi8523]

@@hectorminator He played Firefly not Killer Moth. I've also never been one to care about the casting of characters in comic films, George Clooney is an otherwise good actor after all and yet...

[@hectorminator]

@@venividi8523 so you’re just already in the camp that believes Batgirl is an unreleasable film? Okay. Killer Moth and Firefly aside, it had great talent behind and in front of the cameras, so we as comic fans should know, if something isn’t always exactly like the comics, it doesn’t mean it’s automatically dismissible. (Most of the DCEU strayed from the source material, but that’s fine. It was good in some cases.) All I’m saying is, don’t be so quick to side with the STUDIO who got a tax break on this when they say they had no choice but to shelve it. That’s not fair.

[@venividi8523]

@@hectorminator I don't think it's unreleasable (though for legal reasons it might be), but I'm personally grateful we didn't get the film because it was part of Hamada's plan to phase out Cavill and Afleck's Superman and Batman and replace them with Keaton's Batman and Calle's Supergirl in the DCEU. That's why (Spoiler) The Flash originally ended with Keaton and Calle being at the courthouse instead of Clooney, and Batgirl was going to be a sequel to that. I much prefer the DCEU be scrapped entirely over furthering the mess that was the DCEU like Batgirl was going to do, only it would've messed it up far worse in my opinion.
