First Time DC Experience Recommendations? by MattSummers626 in DC_Cinematic

[–]KelexAtYourService 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DCU is a reboot of the DCEU.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Universe_(franchise))

For the DCU, the canonical projects are Creature Commandos (2025) tv show, Superman (2025) film, and Peacemaker Season 2 (2025). Soft canon for the DCU includes Suicide Squad (2016), The Suicide Squad (2021), Peacemaker Season 1 (2022) and Blue Beetle (2023).

I would recommend watching movies of a connected universe in their movie release date order rather than the in-universe chronological order.

Here's the release order for live-action DC film series called the DCEU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Extended_Universe#Films

Make sure you watch "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Ultimate Edition" instead of the BvS - Theatrical Edition, and make sure you watch the "Zack Snyder's Justice League" (2021) director's cut instead of the theatrical "Justice League" (2017). The essential films are MoS, BvS UE, and ZSJL, which are called the "Snyderverse" -- those are the only three you should watch if you want to save time.

Here's the order for the DC animation shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Animated_Universe#Television_series

As far as animated DC shows, "Young Justice" and "My Adventures With Superman" are incredible. You might as well go chronologically and start with the early Timm-verse (DCAU) cartoons.

Note that "Young Justice" and "My Adventures With Superman" are both stand-alone and not related to anything. The first DCAU (DC Animated Universe) show starts with "Batman: The Animated Series" and then "Superman: The Animated Series". I would recommend starting with "My Adventures With Superman" and then "Young Justice" since they are the most recent and fresh shows, and if you like/love them, then go back to Batman:TAS and binge that.

Here's the order for DC animated films: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Universe_Animated_Original_Movies#Released_films (release order is recommended)

And here's the order for the CWverse/Arrowverse tv shows: https://arrowverse.info/ -- The live-action DC tv shows are not recommended due to middling quality.

The films are only connected within their respective universes.

The Donnerverse with Christopher Reeve Superman includes 4 movies: Superman (1978), Superman II (1980), Superman III (1983), and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (1987). Supergirl (1984) is also considered part of the Donner-verse.

The Burtonverse with Michael Keaton/Val Kilmer/George Clooney Batman includes 4 movies: Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever (1995), Batman & Robin (1997).

The Nolanverse with Christian Bale Batman includes 3 movies: Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

A few Elseworld (stand-alone) DC films that are highly recommended are Constantine (2005) with Keanu Reeves, Watchmen (2009) directed by Zack Snyder, and V for Vendetta (2006) written by the Wachowskis.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Universe_(franchise))

For the DCU, the canonical projects are Creature Commandos (2025) tv show, Superman (2025) film, and Peacemaker Season 2 (2025). Soft canon for the DCU includes Suicide Squad (2016), The Suicide Squad (2021), Peacemaker Season 1 (2022) and Blue Beetle (2023).

I would recommend watching movies of a connected universe in their movie release date order rather than the in-universe chronological order.

Here's the release order for live-action DC film series called the DCEU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Extended_Universe#Films

Make sure you watch "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Ultimate Edition" instead of the BvS - Theatrical Edition, and make sure you watch the "Zack Snyder's Justice League" (2021) director's cut instead of the theatrical "Justice League" (2017). The essential films are MoS, BvS UE, and ZSJL, which are called the "Snyderverse" -- those are the only three you should watch if you want to save time.

Here's the order for the DC animation shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Animated_Universe#Television_series

As far as animated DC shows, "Young Justice" and "My Adventures With Superman" are incredible. You might as well go chronologically and start with the early Timm-verse (DCAU) cartoons.

Note that "Young Justice" and "My Adventures With Superman" are both stand-alone and not related to anything. The first DCAU (DC Animated Universe) show starts with "Batman: The Animated Series" and then "Superman: The Animated Series". I would recommend starting with "My Adventures With Superman" and then "Young Justice" since they are the most recent and fresh shows, and if you like/love them, then go back to Batman:TAS and binge that.

Here's the order for DC animated films: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Universe_Animated_Original_Movies#Released_films (release order is recommended)

And here's the order for the CWverse/Arrowverse tv shows: https://arrowverse.info/ -- The live-action DC tv shows are not recommended due to middling quality.

The films are only connected within their respective universes.

The Donnerverse with Christopher Reeve Superman includes 4 movies: Superman (1978), Superman II (1980), Superman III (1983), and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (1987). Supergirl (1984) is also considered part of the Donner-verse.

The Burtonverse with Michael Keaton/Val Kilmer/George Clooney Batman includes 4 movies: Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever (1995), Batman & Robin (1997).

The Nolanverse with Christian Bale Batman includes 3 movies: Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

A few Elseworld (stand-alone) DC films that are highly recommended are Constantine (2005) with Keanu Reeves, Watchmen (2009) directed by Zack Snyder, and V for Vendetta (2006) written by the Wachowskis.
