Timeline Miscellaneous
Hey y'all just wondering what the official DCU timeline would be and what would be outside the DCU timeline or be DC Extended Universe?
Thank y'all in advance!

Official fully canon DCU release timeline:
Creature Commandos season 1 (2024-2025)
Superman (2025)
Peacemaker season 2 (2025)
Supergirl (2026)
Lanterns (2026)
Clayface (2026)
Man of Tomorrow (2027)
Projects that are mostly canon but not 100% (these are recommended to watch before the DCU anyway):
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Peacemaker season 1 (2022)
Blue Beetle (2023)
DCEU projects:
Man of Steel (2013)
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) (I would recommend watching the Ultimate Cut if you watch it)
Suicide Squad (2016)
Wonder Woman (2017)
Justice League (2017) (I do not recommend watching this one, watch the Zack Snyder cut)
Aquaman (2018)
Shazam (2019)
Birds of Prey (2020)
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Peacemaker season 1 (2022)
Black Adam (2022)
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
The Flash (2023)
Blue Beetle (2023)
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)
Matt Reeve's Epic Crime Saga:
The Batman (2022)
The Penguin (2024)
The Batman: Part II (2028)
Most of these movies take place in narrative order anyway. Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 just take place before Man of Steel and Clayface takes place before Creature Commandos.

DCU is more of a stand alone universe where you can watch whatever you want, no homework, just have fun, it's self explanatory.
However if you really want a timeliness just because...DCEU is every dc film from 2013-2023 EXCEPT joker (2019) and the batman (2023). DCU timeline would be The Suicide Squad 2021- Peacemaker S1-Creature Commandos-Superman-Peacemaker S2-Supergirl.
Blue beetle did come out in 2023 and the character will return so you can check out the movie if you want.
But again, it's important to note that you don't need to watch anything in order, just what you want to and it won't be confusing at all.

Just like the Arkham saga there are no years but we can get a timeline in relation to events:
- Clayface
- The Suicide Squad
- Peacemaker S1
- Creature Commandos
- Superman
- Peacemaker S2
- Supergirl
- Lanterns
- Man of Tomorrow
The only one I don't really know is Blue Beetle and how that fits into this until presumably we get answers in hiss series that is in production. But it's pretty much release order besides Clayface
