How to Watch the DC Extended Universe in Timeline Order

Wondering what to watch to navigate the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) in chronological order? Spanning 16 films and one key TV series from 2013 to 2023, the DCEU brought iconic DC Comics heroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman to life in a shared universe. Its timeline, however, jumps across decades due to period pieces and time-travel elements like The Flash. With TGI Movie, you can plan your DCEU marathon, find UK cinema showtimes, book film tickets, stream on Disney+, Netflix, or Prime Video, and add titles to your personalized watchlist. This guide organizes the DCEU in timeline order—based on in-universe events—while helping you read reviews and catch screenings. Let’s dive into the DCEU saga before the new DC Universe begins with Superman in 2025

Why Watch the DCEU in Timeline Order?

Unlike release order, timeline order follows the DCEU’s in-universe chronology, starting with Wonder Woman (1918) and ending with Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2022-2023). This approach clarifies character arcs and events, especially with The Flash (2023) resetting the timeline to transition to the DCU. TGI Movie simplifies your journey, whether you’re watching in UK cinemas for retro screenings or streaming at home, with tools to read reviews and build your personalized watchlist.
