Where Are Other DCEU Heroes During Wonder Woman 1984?
Introduction to DCEU Chronology
The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) has always been complicated when it comes to character ages and timelines. Especially, comparing them can be like a puzzle. In this article, we delve into the chronology of the DCEU leading up to and during Wonder Woman 1984, providing a detailed analysis of where each hero was in 1984.
Chronology and Ages in the DCEU
Batman and Clark Kent
Batman plays a significant role in the DCEU, often intersecting with various iconic heroes. In the most recent films, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017), Clark Kent is stated to have been born in 1986. Assuming he was born at that exact year, Clark would not have been born by 1984. Therefore, in Wonder Woman 1984, Batman likely doesn't exist yet as a grown-up character, possibly only existing as a child.
Aquaman and His Family
Aquaman's Arthur Curry exists in the DCEU, but his parents, John and Mera, met in 1985. This placement in our chronology means that Aquaman, born in 1986, is also not yet present in 1984. Mera, the mother of Aquaman, was born in 1968, and had only just met John in 1985.
The Flash and Cyborg
Another significant timeline revolves around Barry Allen and Victor Stone. Barry, known as the Flash, is said to have been born in 1992. Similarly, Victor Stone, who becomes Cyborg, was born in 1994. Both characters, therefore, are not born in 1984, which means they are both absent from the events in Wonder Woman 1984.
Bruce Wayne: The Riddle of His Age
Bruce Wayne is the last character we'll discuss. Unlike others, Bruce Wayne's presence in the DCEU is quite different. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, he is already in his 40s. If we assume he was stuck in his 40s timeline between these two films, then in 1984, he would have been close to 10-11 years old. However, this scenario doesn't align with his introduction as Batman, typically portrayed as an older individual.
Conclusion
From the analysis, it becomes clear that several heroes from the DCEU were not present in 1984. Wonder Woman 1984 focuses on the iconic hero, meeting little to no interaction with other DCEU characters due to their earlier timelines. Understanding these timelines helps in appreciating the complexity of the DCEU and the careful planning behind the films' sequences and characters.
