I think it's just a figure of speech based on the magic shown on screen. It does stuff that shouldn't be possible. Duh. It's magic, defying the laws of physics is kind of its thing.
What? Can you elaborate?
I don't see the point of either of those lists.
There is a lot of DCAU content, including comics, games, toys and tie-ins. From the start, Bruce Timm said they were not canon, so that's what we based this policy on. We might have articles covering them briefly, but do not consider the content for character history pages.
Okay, the TV series and the movies made during the run.
We only cover the TV series, not just some of the comics.
Connor is a very common last name. There were 29,346 of them in the last Census.
I know DC likes to create familiar ties between unrelated characters with the same last name. Roy and Jim Harper. John and Lynn Stewart. Dick and Chuck Grayson. Ted and Sandy Knight. But sometimes, a surname is just a surname. Don't get hung up over it.
Without an explicit yes, the answer is no. Not "could be".
If I were to open a phone book for my home city, I find a full page of people with my surname. There's no way Dakota City is smaller than my home town.
No, we don't cover this or the many other toylines.
Citation needed.
These are all guesses based on nothing.
The only indication of time we've had was in World's Finest. The Laughing Dragon statue, made of Green Kryptonite, was carved approximately 30 years ago. That would also date the destruction of Krypton to not long before that.
She wasn't a very good adaptation, unfortunately.
If God and Abraham say something different on A, that's a valid reason to not take Abraham's word as gospel on B. No matter how much you like it. That's not stubbornness. That's not to say I can't be stubborn, no argument there.
This is something people need to accept and get over: your position is not as clear cut as you claim it is. As long as you don't, this discussion will not go anywhere and definitely not in your favor.
We cover the movies with pages; even if we deleted other non-DCAU projects we could probably keep those and treat them like our comics page. We did cover the movies in more detail, but it devolved into an edit war by people unable to accept the reality of vagueness and now the pages are bare.
The problem is that you're looking to answer questions that can't be answered. Accept that there is no answer. Just because you want to know is not a reason to fill in the gaps. And while, yes, there is that one reference to 30 years in World's Finest and Lois was a 7 year old 20 years before Monkey Fun, the rest of these are made up. Hardcastle? Perry?
So do we, provided it's added properly. See for example how we did it with Richie Foley.
Brew just chooses to ignore that and misrepresents everything.
Just stating the obvious should people be confused: this is made up. These dates are not, by anyone's definition, canon.
And just to reiterate, we don't "refuse to accept the DCAU as a whole". That is a dishonest spin grounded in your own biases that ignores reality. We acknowledge that there is no "whole" and do not recognize your definition of it as valid. Your position is no less arbitrary than ours.
Are they?
Bruce Timm has consistently said Beyond takes place "50 years after now, whenever now is" and asserted his dominance on that, despite the fact that Dini's ROTJ screenplay, WB's promotional material and an episode of TZP explicitly place it 40 years after the series premiere or close to. Would "the final authority" invalidate those?
Timm is one of the driving forces behind the DCAU. He is, however, not the sole driving force, nor its exclusive god. If anything, WB gets to decide. And as long as they hold off the boat, Timm's "I like to think so" is not sufficient.
I have no problem with it being canon for you. I have no problem with it being canon for me. There aren't that many continuity errors, apparently just all the bad guy cameos in the Bludhaven bar. But this is not simple, and not set in stone.
The DCAU is not a singular continuity. There are regular tie-in comics, retroactive comics, magazines, games (and "The Lost Episode"), Del Rey guidebooks, tons of Capstone books, a couple of shorts/pilot episodes, much of it doesn't actually contradict the core. And some does. And some contradicts the other. But that doesn't mean it's just pick and mix. Early on, even before I got here, the wiki decided to follow a "Memory Alpha" like approach of only covering the core series (and, for some reason, the webseries).
