DC Extended Universe (MetropolisKnight)



The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) also dubbed as the Snyderverse is a series of interconnected movies and TV Series based on characters from DC Comics, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios.

The DCEU is launched by with a Superman reboot film Man of Steel, released in 2012. Snyder would then go on to produce every film and series in the DCEU, with Phase I ending with a Flashpoint film in 2018. Phase II introduces a new timeline with significant changes in continuity and ends with Lex Luthor's legion of villains he collected from each of the movies facing the Justice League in Justice League II. Phase III sees the death of major characters Barry Allen, Donna Troy, and Superman. The fourth and final phase is the culmination of everything that has happened so far and the heroes and villains must face the greatest threat to the universe: Darkseid.

The franchise is all-in-all a commercial success and popular among casual viewers, with Man of Tomorrow and Justice League: Rebirth being among the highest-grossing films of all time.

Origins
I started creating my personal ideal DC Extended Universe around 2016, by that time me and many other DC fans were still full of hope for the future of the real-world, until of course, it all kind of went to shit.

So as a coping mechanism I made this fantasy world in my head of what a cohesive DCEU would be like.

Notes and Trivia

 * There are 3 timelines:
 * The original timeline (Man of Steel - Justice League)
 * The Flashpoint timeline
 * This timeline is simply a continuation of Justice League where they lost and Aquaman declares war after an Ares-controlled Wonder Woman kills Mera (Diana and Arthur aren't very close by this time)
 * The new timeline (Young Justice - Justice League: Rebirth), changes in continuity:
 * Lex Luthor and Black Manta is not imprisoned
 * Superman and Lois is married
 * Mera is alive
 * I originally inserted my own original characters and teams until deciding to contain it only to existing DC Characters
 * Blackest Night, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman Beyond were among the many scrapped ideas with Futures End and Kingdom Come once being the finale of the series
 * Mid and Post-credits scenes are only included if necessary, never liked time wasting joke credits scenes
