Batman: The Animated Series
1992–1993
If you're here, it's because you want to watch the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) or the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU), or discover the Arkhamverse entire timeline, in their most optimized order, a mix of chronological order and release order. You'll find extra details by clicking on each media, and this entire site is guaranteed free of major spoilers. The universes are not connected (although probably being in the same multiverse) but it was too much doing 3 new pages so I put them together.
How to read this
FLASHBACKS
Some events work better as a FLASHBACK for understanding, and are marked as such.
THE CALENDARS
The system uses real world dates. For the Arkhamverse the few references to real dates contradict each other so the years are stated as "Year One" and so on.
CONSISTENCY
Long running universes have some continuity problems it's a fact, you will see some in the three universes but don't overthink about it.
TRIVIA FOR SOME NAMES
So... for the DCAU the release names of some materials is a bit (a lot) of a mess, a few multi-parts episodes were edited and combined into "movies" like The Batman Superman Movie or Batman Beyond The Movie, it's just a marketing thing. Same for the Batman Animated Series that has only 2 seasons, the next show being The New Batman Adventures! Well... Sort of... Some DVD releases and editors decided this was the third season of the first series (well some editors cut the series in three seasons already...), and mid-way from the series run, the original series was re-titled The Adventures of Batman & Robin! We'll take only the original/official names of everything and try to forget all of this.
What's left out, and why4 entries
- DCAU Games, Books and Comics
- Too much stuff already and canonicity too hard to confirm
- Superman Brainiac Attacks, Justice League Crisis on Two Earths
- Even if they use the DCAU character designs they are not in continuity
- Lobo and Gotham Girls webseries
- Flash animated webseries, just jokes with no consequences on continuity
- Arkhamverse comics, novel, mobile games and Assault on Arkham animated movie
- Not canon or canonicity too hard to confirm
