Updated DC Television and Film Adaptations Multiverse

Image
This is just going to be a listing of identified film and television adaptions said to be the DC Multiverse.  Note that I accept that the pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis comics, Arrowverse and DCEU all are in the same multiverse.   Black Lightning (Arrowverse)--Setting of Black Lightning Pre-Crisis.   DC Animated Movie Universe--The setting of the post-Flashpoint/New 52 inspired animated films.   DCEU--Setting of the shared universe that began in Man of Steel and ended with the Flash.   DCU--The post Flashpoint film universe starting with the Flash.   Earth-1 (Arrowverse/Pre-Crisis)--Setting of the Arrowverse pre-Crisis. Earth-Two (Pre-Crisis Comics)--All-Star Squadron had a reference to Indiana Jones.   Earth-2 (Post-Crisis Arrowverse)--Setting of Stargirl.   Earth-9--Setting of Titans.   Earth-12 (New 52)--The setting of the DC Animated Universe that started with Batman the Animated Series.   Earth-12 (Arrowverse)--The setting of the Green Lantern film.   Earth-16--The setting of the Youn

Embracing the Multiverse

 Some spoilers, will be mentioning the new Flash movie and Spider-Verse. The TVCU was created based on the idea of a shared reality based on crossovers.  And it still is.   However, in recent years, films and television have been embracing the multiverse concept. From the beginning, the TVCU has used the multiverse concept.  We had the Looniverse for cartoons that don't fit in a "real world", like funny talking animals.  We had the TVCU-2 for reboots.  We had a mirror universe.   The TVCU has also had a concept that it happens the way we see it on the screen.  So when things are shown to be in the same reality, we accept that.   And I tried to cram things in sometimes, like putting all the versions of Superman in one timeline.   But the film and television industry have shown me a new way.   We know now that Ghostbusters and Real Ghostbusters are alternate timelines.  We know that every version of the TMNT have their own universe, and the same goes for He-Man. And now we

The MIchael Keaton Multiverse?

  Everything happens somewhere... but somethings happen in more than one universe apparently.   Spoilers ahead, especially if you haven't seen the Flash movie yet.   I love identifying which universe everything happens in, but sometimes that's not such an easy task if I try to place everything in one particular spot.  I came across this with Scooby-Doo, thus I wrote the Scooby-Doo Multiverse with multiple timelines.  The one consistency of those timelines was the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, which seemed to take place in nearly every timeline, which diverged after that series.  (Most of those timelines but not all also included the New Scooby-Doo Movies).  So Batman (1989) is a similar situation it appears. Let's start at the beginning.   In 1989, Tim Burton rebooted the Batman franchise with a smash hit film starring Michael Keaton.  This movie was followed by a sequel, Batman Returns.  And then Joel Schumacher took over and recast Val Kilmer as Batman in another s

  Hey, how are you?  Long time, no see.  Yes, I'm still alive.  I know I haven't updated the blog in quite a while.  I've been working full-time for the past few years (after many years on disability) and frankly, I'm getting tired.  I'm turning fifty in a few weeks and I just seem to be sleeping a lot.  When I am awake and not working, I tend to just watch TV and movies and not write about them so much anymore.   But I LOVE the TVCU and I don't want it to fade away, and I really want to get back into writing so I'm pledging more writing, at least in the blog if not returning to writing books, in 2023. I plan on finishing up the Scooby-Doo Team-Up post, and maybe jumping into Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, and I want to start updating old posts and writing new posts again. So I'm starting off today (on Halloween at the time I'm writing this), changing things up a bit.   Normally, I post about TV shows and movie series.  I don't focus on print.  Howev
