More Crisis Crisis....

I haven't read it yet, but the TVCU Crew has informed me of some revelations from the comic book tie in to Crisis. One that's a problem is that they identify Earth-76 as the home of Wonder Woman'77 and Earth-78 as the home of the Christopher Reeves movies.  This negates some crossovers involving the Wonder Woman'77 comic and Batman'66 comic and I think that's a huge mistake on DC's part.  Especially since they included Smallville season 11 as canon. They also included Super Friends, Earth-N52, and Earth-D, which aren't problems but are cool enough to mention. They didn't seem to give Super Friends an Earth designation, which would have been useful to me for my Scooby-Doo Team-Up post. Also mentioned is Earth-F, the home of the animated Fleischer Studios shorts, which I have previously devoted an entire blog post too, so it's nice to be able to name that Earth now. Okay, see you all in January, or after I read the comic myself if I...

DC Extended Universe

The DC Extended Universe is part of the larger multiverse, and it's a shared universe with some non-DC crossovers.  So it deserves an entry, now that there are seven movies and counting. Long ago, when time was new, and all of history was still a dream... -- The origins of the Amazons and the battle against Steppenwolf.  Also, on the alternate reality of Earth-1, the Legends drop Helen of Troy off on Themyscyra to be trained by the Amazons.  The shot of Themyscyra used on Legends of Tomorrow for Themyscyra is the same used in Wonder Woman. World War I -- Wonder Woman 1967 - 1968 -- Annabelle -- The doll appears in Aquaman.  At some point I'll tackle the Conjuring timeline, which will be part of the main Horror Universe, not part of the DCEU. 1980 -- Kal-El arrives on Earth.  Over the next 18 years, as Clark Kent, he must learn how to adapt to his powers and hide them. 1981 -- Death of Thomas and Martha Wayne. 1984 -- Wonder Woman 1984 1985 --...

Aquaman: A League of Their Own Part 8? (A Divergent TVCU Timeline)

Image
Aquaman, Aquaman, can do anything Aqua can...  Okay, maybe not. Prince Namor has only been hinted at in the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to legal entanglements, and Aquaman is about to become the hottest super-hero on the big screen, after years of being the joke from the Super-Friends, and Waterworld....  Well, let's not go there. Continuing my Justice League/DC series of TVCU posts, my next one will finally get to Aquaman, an awesome hero sadly made into a joke in pop culture. Aquaman is an interesting character. Aquaman (Arthur Curry)--This is the same character who is concurrently a member of the Justice League of America. Aquaman was chosen as an instructor because of his time as the teen hero, Aquaboy. He was a major character in the original season of the animated television series Super Friends (1973). Super Friends is often credited with having exposed Aquaman to a much wider audience outside of the comic book community. In this series, Aquaman was shown...
