Episodic order for DC Live-Action Multiverse (1941-2023)
Chronological and episodic order for everything in the Multiverse. Each movie/episode has notes of the year and the universe it took place in. For the ones which took place in various years, the year that most of the episode/movie happened was written (like 2017 for ZSJL). It's the same for the ones that took place in various universes with few exceptions (like Crisis on Infinite Earths, its note is [various Earths]).
Realities of Adventures of Superman, DCEU (pre-Crisis), DCU, Superman Anthology (pre-Crisis), and Harley Quinn don't have official numbers. They're respectively and unofficially written as "Earth-52", "Earth-14", "Earth-24", "Earth-78", and "Earth-92" in the list.
Events that are identical to Superman: The Movie and Superman II happened respectively in 1997 and 2001 in Earth-96 (both actually happened in 1978 in Earth-78 and later Earth-789). Events that are similar to Superman III also happened sometime after Superman Returns. And at least one character from Superman IV (Lucy Warfield) had been existed in Earth-96. In the same way, events that are similar to Batman and Batman Returns happened in Earth-97 too.
Wonder Woman's (the movie) year was taken as 2017 because the entire movie (except for the first and the last scenes, where Diana respectively started and finished writing the letter) was actually flashback. Etta's Mission is also an addition to the flashback. This made Wonder Woman 1984 -the sequel- to chronologically came before its prequel. But this isn't a problem since the only actual connection was the repeating supporting character.
After the Crisis;
AMALGAMATED EARTHS
CHANGES IN ALREADY EXISTING EARTHS
RECREATED EARTHS
EARTHS WITH UNKOWN FATES

After the Crisis;
AMALGAMATED EARTHS
- Earth-1 (main Earth of pre-Crisis Arrowverse), Earth-2, Earth-3, Earth-38 (Supergirl), and Earth-BL (unofficial name, Black Lightning) were amalgamated into Earth-Prime
- Earth-78 (unofficial number, Superman Anthology) and Earth-89 (Burtonverse) were amalgamated into Earth-789
CHANGES IN ALREADY EXISTING EARTHS
- Earth-14 (unofficial number, DCEU) moved to Earth-1
- Earth-2 became the home of Stargirl
- Earth-19 became the home of Swamp Thing
- Earth-21 became the home of Doom Patrol
- Earth-22 (unofficial) became the home of Superman & Lois
- Earth-92 (unofficial) became the home of Harley Quinn
RECREATED EARTHS
- Earth-9 (Titans), Earth-12 (Green Lantern), Earth-52 (unofficial number, Adventures of Superman), Earth-66 (Batman and The Green Hornet), Earth-96 (Superman Returns), Earth-167 (Smallville), Earth-203 (Birds of Prey), and Earth-666 (Lucifer) were destroyed and then recreated
EARTHS WITH UNKOWN FATES
- Earth-76 (Wonder Woman), Earth-90 (CBS' The Flash, it's unkown if this universe was dead already before the Crisis), Earth-97 (Schumacherverse), and Earth-F (Fleischer's Superman) were destroyed and presumably restored, but since it was never seen nor mentioned on-screen, it's impossible to know for sure. And if Earth-90 became a dead earth after Elsewords, it couldn't be restored even if the other three did.
BONUS
- Earth-24 (unofficial number)
