Canon & Conjecture

Canon

This wiki is intended to cover the canonical DCAU, which includes the TV shows Batman: TAS, Superman: TAS, The New Batman Adventures, The New Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, The Zeta Project, Static Shock, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Gotham Girls, Lobo: Webseries and any Direct to Video/Direct to DVD features based on those shows.

Non Canon

Some things are not included, as they are not "canon" with the DCAU:

• Any series created or produced before Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. These include anything related to the Superfriends, the Filmation superhero shows of the 1960s, and the Superman show of 1988.
• Anything live-action. The DCAU is for the most part "animated," and live-action shows and movies have no effect on DCAU continuity. Examples include the 1989 movie Batman (on which the DCAU was originally inspired), the present and recent shows Smallville or Birds of Prey, and the new movies Superman Returns or Batman Begins.
• Static Shock is sometimes debated in regards to whether it was truly canon, or it served as a “what if?” scenario; given how little of an impact it has on the overall DC Animated Universe due to its isolation, and how Static himself only appears as a future version of himself, it is possible that the crossovers on the Static Shock series were simply using the same designs and voice actors as the other DC shows. Another curious fact is that Dakota City and Static are otherwise never mentioned aside from the brief appearance in the future. It remains most likely that Static Shock is in fact canon, but it remains uncertain all the same.
• The animated series Teen Titans. There is an article about this show, but its canonicity is debated, so no supporting articles should be created at this time.
• The Animated series The Batman. The show, although beautifully animated, includes drastic changes in Batman's backstory that differs from events and first meetings seen in Batman: The Animated Series.
• The Animated series Krypto: The Superdog. The show about Superdog's adventures in Metropolis differs in its portrayal of Lex Luthor and the Bat-Hound.

Comics & Video Games

DCAU-based comic books and video games are not considered part of canon. Most of the connections are tenuous at best, and certain events contradict those of the TV shows. Examples include the Adventures in the DC Universe, or Batman Adventures, The Adventures of Batman and Robin (Sega CD), Batman: Vengeance, and Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu.

These are DCAU related productions, but are not considered canon, so while we do have articles on these games, the events depicted therein should not be reflected in other articles. For example, the events in Batman: Vengeance should not appear in the history section of the Batman article.

Fanon

Please do not include Fanon information, or make assumptions based on what is seen or said on screen. Keep the articles pure canon and let each reader draw his or her own inferences.

Background Information

An article may include non-canon comments or notes on popular conjecture if it is either confined to a "Background Information" section (see Ultimen), or indented and italicized below the canonical information upon which the conjecture is based and including a statement that identifies the info as conjecture. For an example, see Batman#The Savage Time
