Starting with the critically aclaimed Batman: The Animated Series, the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) is what made many of us fall in love with DC’s characters.
We have several DC animated universes. This timeline doesn’t cover all of them. But there is one that stands out above the rest. We present the DC Animated Universe, consisting of the Batman/Superman animated series, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Batman Beyond, etc. There were tie-in comics to these series that, as of right now, we do not include in the timeline. These tie-in comics are complex, and don’t always line up perfectly with the continuity of the shows they are based on. However, we will hopefully include them in future updates.
Includes:
Superman: The Animated Series takes place simultaneously to The New Batman Adventures
The official DC Animated Universe in a somewhat chronoligal order. Infos taken from all over the web. I tried to order some episodes differently, as you can see with Batman TAS' Two-Face 2 Parter - which is now separated by a couple of episodes, as the second part states that there were 6 months between the events of the two.
Based on a list I found in 2017 that also includes the various DCAU comic series too. Those won't be on here, though.
The following series/movies are not canon and should be skipped if desiring a purely canon DCAU experience:
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
Superman: Brainiac Attacks
Batman and Harley Quinn
Justice League vs. The Fatal Five
Teen Titans (whole series)
Young Justice (whole series)
Legion of Superheroes (whole series)
I tried to fit it in chronologically the best order possible :)
This is a chronological watching order of all movies, series episodes and specials of the DC Animated Universe.
All animated shows based on characters from DC Comics.
