The Timeline

The same catalogue, laid out twice: the order it was made in, and the order the story actually happens in. Drag the board sideways to follow a branch.

Story order is a fan-friendly approximation for browsing, not an official studio document. Where there is a main continuity it runs down the left, and dashed branches are genuine spinoffs, prequels, or in-story forks, connected where they split off. Unconnected lines never forked from anything: a remake retells one story a second time, while a universe is a whole separate continuity recasting the same characters — DC runs several side by side with no main line at all. An alternate cut is the exception: a second version of one particular film, joined to it by a short connector. Drag sideways (or scroll) if it doesn't fit.

Universe — Superman (Donner)
Universe — Batman (Burton & Schumacher)
Universe — The Dark Knight (Nolan)
Universe — DCEU (Snyder era)
Universe — Joker (Phillips)
Alternate cut — Justice League (Snyder Cut)
Universe — The Batman (Reeves)
Universe — DCU (Gunn)

7 games/comics not shown here — they're a separate continuity. See the grid or stats view for those.
