@4channermagician I accept that, actually. Alternatively, I mentally erase Lego Batman 2's DC references from my head, and rewrite the story, keeping the first four levels the same. It could have been the Lego Arkham (nowhere nearly as good, but as good as you could get in Lego form), but I feel like after a certain point they put too much effort into adding other DC characters while trying to be a Batman game, and I'm not happy with the result, as good as the gameplay is
Another thing to note about Dimensions is that it is implied that Batman and friends continue to travel across the dimensions. This could mean that version of Batman is *still* going through the dimensions, just something to think about. Overall great video man!
I still don't even know what timeline we're in. is black Adam in the same universe where superman died? which is supposedly the same universe Shazam is in? wouldn't that make Christian bale's batman the current batman?
@@ginJorel Bale’s Batman is his own separate universe, just like Robert Pattinson or Adam West. The only thing that is in the air right now is whether or not the Snyder cut is canon.
Au contraire: Brainiac is the one who makes the comment about seeing Batman before Edit: wait no he doesn’t. however this doesn’t screw the timeline as in LB2, there’s an optional boss fight against Braniac in the postgame.
Somethig to note, in 2011 DC did a hard reset with their comics following Flashpoint, this era was known as the New 52. The first Lego Batman came out in 2008, the second came out in 2012. Meaning that in the comic books, they came out during different eras in company history. I know the consensus is that LB2 is a sequel but it's also a possibility as to why the games are quite different when it comes to names, designs, etc.
They're also based off of different Lego themes, being the 2006 Batman theme and 2011 DC super heroes theme. That could have something to do with the new 52. They could be different timelines or something but I just prefer to think of Lb2 as a sequel.
Personally I just like to think in the Lego version, many heroes like Batman just so happen to occasionally change their looks from time to time, conveniently having the same look as the comics version or other series. For Batman it's easy, they're either just another of his many standard suits, or they have a specific function.
@@TheZamaron In the Transformers comics, they used to change their looks depending on the new toy releases so that idea would make loads of sense, especially in the context of what is essentially a playable toy ad.
@@EternalEdgeLord Oh I love Tranformers. But yah, let's face it if you had a bunch of cool costumes like Iron Man suits or Batsuits and there was a set o them that was really only a look difference, you'd probably stand there awhile thinking "Dang, which should I wear. Though for specialized suits it does make more sense for Iron Man as he could easily like the films call in the suit he needs and only take a few minutes I think at most. Maybe even say that without Tony in them the suits can safely fly at much higher speeds t get to him. But Batman since the suits are mostly just clothing and not automated suits, he'd have to think ahead which specialized suit to wear, unless he'd have suit changer devices hidden around the city like in the videogames, just select the needed suit, step in, an it materializes around him.
Although I personally consider the timeline of the Lego Batman video games separate from the Lego DC movies, I applaud the creative way you put them into the same universe. Plus if they are in the same universe that just means more lore to look into.
Feel like it’s worth mentioning that Lego Batman 2 on 3DS, despite covering the same events as the other versions, DOES correctly identify the Robin as Tim Drake, which should put the nail in the coffin regarding the typo issue.
Actually, Lego Batman movie comes between both Lego movie 1 and 2 because in Lego movie 2 they say “Batman is having his own stand alone adventure” which is why he doesn’t get captured with the rest of the league
16:20 on that note, there's a part when Joker threatens to split Gotham in half where there's a news bulletin that had video of Emmet falling into the void. Which means Lego Batman comes before LM2
it makes so much sense that Lego dimensions causes a timeline split between Lego batman 3 and DC Super villains. it explains an awful lot of differences aesthetically between the games
plus The Joker is still using his giant Joker robot from the second game in Dimensions for the Simpsons level where he and Lord Business are attacking Springfield's Power Plant
I am so impressed with how detailed u got and how much research u did, man. Very few people love Lego games enough to make a timeline for them, let alone one this good and meticulously researched
Personally, I think I'll always consider the films not canon however I do like the idea of batman leading the league at one point but then not wanting to deal with them at the beginning of LB2 another thing I would note is that the hub world for DC comics in dimensions has both Gotham and metropolis merged together, we never see that again but I wonder if that's a whole new timeline too
it’s actually kind of funny, even when he joins the league in the movies he makes a point to tell each one of them how much he distrusts them, so it all really fits character wise
The world doesn’t matter because it’s just like the suits. They can be changed because of style. But one suit that does matter is the blue Batman suit. Batman never wears it in the games but does in the movies possibly meaning it could be a different universe.
@@bd1p That was a good DC timeline. I wonder if you can do a LEGO Marvel timeline video. Here's a bit of the Marvel timeline: The first half of Lego Marvel Avengers (game) takes place before the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes. Because in the first level of that game, Tony said, "Didn't we just clean up this city?". & Tony knows the shawarma place, due to the events of the Battle of New York, which is the first half of Lego Marvel Avengers. The second half of Lego Marvel Avengers takes place after the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes, & it also takes place before the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, is because Hulk flys a ship into space, & lands on the planet of Sakaar, one of the locations of Chronopolis in Lego Marvel Superheroes 2. & The Statue of Liberty was rebuilt 4 years after the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes. Like it if you like my timeline.
I used to think LB1 Robin was actually Jason Todd because of the different costume to the later installments. The theory said that somewhere between LB1 and LB2 Jason died, then Tim Drake came and somewhere between LB2 and LB3 Jason returned as Red Hood (would explain why there is a Red Hood in LB3 and not in LB2) The Lego Batman DS Game proved me wrong since Tim Drake is in that game, but imagine how cool it would be to secretly have the whole Red Hood storyline be canon in Lego Batman of all things
@@marvelanddcretrospective That's what I said. It used to be my theory but canonically it doesn't check out. Keep in mind I didn't know about any of the movies either lmao
@axelnilsson5124 Multiverse refers to the existence of multiple realities. The omniverse is EVERY reality. Only Lego dimensions wasn't every reality, it was just the Lego ones. There aren't multiple omniverses, but there are multiple multiverses.
@@bradworstyt7001 no the multiverse refers to multiple realities similar to the reality you’re familiar with like the DC multiverse consists of the new 52, 16, 23, 40 etc. the omniverse consists of multiple media multiverses that wouldn’t collide even through some multiverse shenanigans like with marvel and DC and just because Tt didn’t utilize every media ever in the game doesn’t mean it’s not omniversal
@axelnilsson5124 Yes but actually no, Lego dimensions doesn't consist of the actual DC universe, lord of the rings, Sonic, or whatever, it is made up of all the Lego versions of those continuities. Making it one franchise.
I honestly hadn’t expected such a good theory of lego Batman, but what I’d thought it since LB3 was the heroes first fought brainiac like cosmic clash. I always thought of the concept of the games and lego home video movies being separate earths/universes
Im glad I’m not the only one who has been trying to sort out this timeline. When I tried a while back I came to almost the exact same conclusion as you, meaning this timeline makes enough sense for two people to arrive at basically the same conclusion about it. An interesting thing about the whole “Dick Grayson/Tim Drake situation” is that in the movie version of the game, only Bruce appears without his suit and Robin stays in his the entire time (almost as though the developers just wanted to ignore and forget about their previous mistake). Also, in the DS port of Lego Batman 2, Dick Grayson as a playable character has been replaced with Tim Drake, implying even more that his naming in the normal version of the game was a mistake.
Does Braniac appearing in LEGO dimensions change anything in the timeline? Because I recall he pops up in the Lord of the rings level, and if you have Batman active he’ll imply he’s met Brainiac before.
Yeah. Obviously it means LEGO Dimensions take place after Beyond Gotham. This video is using portal travel and a Weeping Angel to show that Beyond Gotham takes place after Dimensions, but really, couldn't the League have developed their own portal technology? And those Weeping Angels are probably not real.
I have never interacted with any Dimensions and assumed that each little set was self contained.. but did you say that Braniac appears in Lord of the Rings.. and Batman.. is the extra content for that, implying that Braniac is in the Lord of the Rings levels in the base game?
@@BaconNuke The main story of LEGO Dimensions has characters crossing over. You play as Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf travelling between the different worlds, and the villains from their worlds are often meddling in the different worlds. The Joker Bot boss fight at 17:10 happened in The Simpsons world. And the Ghostbusters level is titled "The Phantom Zone" because of General Zod's involvement. And after unlocking the Locate Keystone, you can use it to summon a character from another universe to clear obstacles. LEGO Dimensions is the biggest crossover ever.
@@sacrificiallamb4568 I know that. And I'm saying the Justice League probably used their own portal technology to get to those planets. They don't need Vortech's help. The Aperture Science Enrichment Center was using portals long before the events of LEGO Dimensions happened. In fact, the League could be reverse-engineering a metahuman's ability to create those portals. Remember the Boom Tubes from Apokollips? They never needed some interdimensional crossover to work. Did you know Green Lantern's ring can open wormholes? That's a fact I just learned today. And there's a Teen Titans villain named Warp. Teleportation technology in the DC Universe doesn't need LEGO Dimensions to happen.
Damn, this is right up my alley. Literally, I had timeline ideas in my notes for a few months now. Why did I never think to do LEGO? Brilliant work my dude
I say Lego Dimensions could have been the result of the merged city in DC Villains. I remember one of the npcs talking about both cities being rebuilt after some big event. Which could be the result of Vortex merging and scrambling the dimensions since first wave characters homes are in shambles.
Another bit to add on with the Lego Batman 2 Dick Grayson/Tim Drake thing is that version of Robin is only referenced as Dick in the game. I had a Lego Magazine from back in 2012 that had the figures from the Lego Batman 2 sets and Robin's bio labeled him as Tim Drake.
Lego batman 2 has got to be one of the best games ever made. I put so many hours into it, it's so nostalgic and just wonderful in so many ways. A game I was truly in love with.
@@brendanvaughan3272 I agree. The brainiac plot in the movie is completely different from the game. You can‘t take samples from other media for the videogame timeline
1:03 It's kind of the same in the Arkham Games and Young Justice. In YJ we have Grayson and Nightwing both as Robin in different seasons, but Jason only had a cameo as Robin. (As far as I remember.) In Arkham, even if Grayson hadn't a part in the story as Robin, he had his own Robin suit and was playable in Arkham Origins multiplayer. We didn't have anything about Jason until Arkham Knight, and he was already the Arkham Knight. Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but it feels as if they forget about him or don't want to put him on the main stories until he is back from the dead.
I don't know if this makes sense or not (since i haven't watched the films), but I don't think Dimensions can be before LB3 because of Batman's reaction to Brainiac. In LB3, when he uses the telescope to see Brainiacs ship, Batman doesn't recognise what it is and contacts the watchtower. In Dimensions, when Braniac appears in the lord of the rings level, he says "Brainac too?" Implying he does know who Braniac is, but he didn't in LB3. The fact that Braniac appears isn't the contradiction, it's Batman's knowledge of who Braniac is.
Obviously because Lego Dimensions (On the Lego Batman side) canonically take place after Lego Batman 3. And we know Lego Batman 3 is after the first two games due to it being a continunation of 2. How Robin is labled as Dick Grayson in 2 even though he's Tim Drake, is probably just TT Games mistook Grayson for Tim.
In the Lego film the flash he meets reverse flash for the first time but at the end of it he fades out of this existence but reverse flash also appears in Lego dc super villains so it doesn’t make sense
To try to make sense of what happened with Robin's identity, I'm pretty sure it's all been Tim Drake, and Lego Batman 2 was just an error by the devs. It had been officially Tim Drake in Lego Batman 2 in the marketing and development of the game, just like Tim being in LB1 and 3, but later down the line someone had probably assumed there is only one Robin and "corrected" the team that Robin's name is Dick Grayson, not Tim Drake, which led to changing his name in Lego Batman 2. Other versions of LB2 still call him Tim IIRC, but the Xbox 360/PS3/PC version said Dick Grayson. And lastly, he is never actually called Dick Grayson in the game, only through text, such as the character's name in the roster. No one ever actually says his name, unlike 3, where he calls himself Tim. So as far as I see, Tim is the Robin in LB2, and TT are just dumb.
Before watching: I usually just put LEGO Batman 1 in one universe, and 2 and 3 in a separate one. Yeah, it doesn't solve all the issues, but it's an okay solution. LEGO DC Super-Villains is also kind of its own thing. It could be a sequel, but it seems to have its own versions of every character, different VAs and all. As for Dimensions, I have no idea lol
@@Tg2Lc That was never a post credits scene of LEGO Batman 3. There was the one with Lex, Joker, and Brainiac locked up, the one where Sinestro vows revenge before walking right into the invisible jet, and the one where a bunch of DC heroes use the Slideways Teleporter in a pose that looks like Marvel heroes from the silhouette. Don't try to fool me here, I've played these games way too many times lol
As someone who knows nothing about anything DC related, I found it funny when you said something like "This can't go here in the timeline because Robin is Smickle Smog II at this point."
Personally, I think that Lego Batman 1 (2008) is a separate story. The two biggest ideas that could support this claim are these: 1. The game came out during the run of the "LEGO Batman" theme that went from 2006-2008 and then disappeared until the "LEGO DC Super Heroes" theme started in 2012. The focus of the first theme was strictly Batman. 2. The first iteration of Batman in Lego (from 2006-2008) was significantly darker and grittier in tone and art style than the versions that came later; not to mention the lack of references to the other DC heroes other than that info on the batcomputer about superman (which I take to be an easter egg rather than a plot point - similar to what the Arkham games did). So in my mind, trying to make the timelines fit together is like trying to make Tim Burton's Batman fit in the same timeline as Zack Snyder's Batman. Also, the comment in the recording about the 2nd and 3rd game being sequels was in regards to the release dates, not the storyline (since he was talking about the game mechanics at the time).
17:51 Your theory about things being not where they should be because of dimensions is actually confirmed in year two of lego dimensions. A lot of characters are misplaced like shaggy and Scooby-Doo in fantastic beasts and where to find them. Emmet also appears in the backround of the ghostbusters reboot story's ending. So there you go thats actually confirmation of things being displaced through dimensions after vortech's defeat.
The most difficult thing about this timeline is separating it from what I know to be true in the comics, what with character designs. A major example of this would be the design and attributes of each of the different Robins as well as their order in terms of the timeline put together here. Once I got past that, I was able to remove the doubts I had
First, Wendigoon puts out the most coherent FNAF timeline I've ever seen, and now this. We are truly living in the best Order Order-out-of-Chaos-Video-Essay Era
For a moment there I thought this was another eyezayar video. Really interesting video! Didn't think the LEGO: Batman timeline would be so complicated.
Videos like this are why TH-cam is just the fucking best, there's absolutely no reason a video about the Lego Batman timeline should be this good but here we are lmao
If you missed last weeks video, you’re missing out on the best video on this channel: th-cam.com/video/Haj02fU1gMQ/w-d-xo.html edit: Yes, obviously the films are supposed to be their own canon, congrats, you figured it out! the video is to show how perfectly they all fit together regardless. I also see comments pointing out the fact that Damien Wayne's Robin is in Be-Leaugered. Yes, Robin does appear for an onsrceen gag in the start of the movie, however, there is no crediting towards this character, so the identity of that Robin is unknown. Yes, it shares the costume of Damien, however, Batman himself changes costumes many times between the games and movies, rendering using costumes a means of identifying character pretty useless. That also being said, this is a "theory" at the end of the day, so come to your own conclusions
I don't think the Family Matters and the Flash Time Travel movie are from a seperate divergence due to the Dimensions timeline however a split is definitely possible. Most if not everything about designs are different most notably being brainiac's ship design since those are 2 very different things in game and outside so... 3 seperate universes? 1 is Universe one that follows everything up to Villains. 2 is the new dimension where we see Family Matters and Magic and Monsters. 3 however is a new split as we learn from the Sonic Level in Dimensions that Bats, Gandalf and Wyldstyle still travel the multiverse with their original suits. What may add to this theory is how Dimensions you can have 2 characters interact and even have the SAME characters interact with each other so we can guess 1 went home and the other is the multiverse hopping Bats.
TH-cam recommended section strikes again, this time with a proper timeline for the cultured, I don't even know who this guy is but it definitely deserves a like!...
One small detail I noticed while watching this: In LEGO Dimensions, when DC Batman runs into LEGO Batman, they're in Cloud Cuckoo Land, which was destroyed during the events of the first Lego Movie, which seemingly glues the Lego Batman Movie in between the events of the two Lego Movies further
I never knew that there was a connection between the games and those movies. I also was wondering where you would put Cosmic Clash. I never expected a 2nd timeline. A very great, entertaining vid.
I always thought that Dc supervillains was a parallel universe because of the amount of voice actors that were recast despite a lot of them returning for this game just in different parts.
The only thing I disagree with is Lego DC Supervillains (I don’t believe it is in the LB Universe). Not just because of different voice actors and different city locations, but because Anti-Monitor was introduced and could lead to an infinite crisis Lego game, which could have all 3 Batmen meet.
a crisis game would be so cool. I would hope they would make more of a “Justice League” game first that allows the characters to exist separate of Batman before hand tho so it has more of an effect
tim is the robin of the first 3 lego batmans. its wrong in lego batman 2. dick is the robin of lego dimensions. and damian is the robin of dc super villains. however i like to pretend the original robin is actually jason todd instead of tim drake. i would personally consider lego dimensions another universe since gotham and metropolis are merged, but they arent in anything else.
I’m pretty sure the Dimensions Robin is based off of the teen titans version of his costume, not LB1. The voice of Robin in dimensions is also the same voice actor as the Robin in teen titans and the Robin in teen titans is shown to be Dick Grayson. Great work on the video by the way
I personally believe that the movies all take place in order and are in one timeline, and the games all take place in order and are in another timeline, meaning that the games are not canon to the movies, and the movies are not canon to the games. DC Super-Heroes Unite is just a slightly different interpretation of Lego Batman 2. From what I’ve heard, it is just the cutscenes from Lego Batman 2 with extra scenes added where the levels would be, so it is mostly canon to the games, it is not canon to the rest of the films. (I could be wrong about that, though, as I have not seen that film, but I have seen all of the other ones, save for Cosmic Clash, and I have played all the games.) Also, I could’ve sworn that a developer confirmed that them calling Robin Dick in Lego Batman 2 was a mistake.
Also, I’m not sure if Dimensions is even canon, but that is one of the only Lego games I haven’t played (the others being the second movie game, the Ninjago movie game, Incredibles, Marvel 2, Hobbit, Lord of The Rings, and the ones that are exclusive to the 3DS), so I could be wrong about that.
Very interesting, and as a HUGE lego batman fiend I really enjoyed this banger. I even looked back in my lego batman DS and wii manuals to put the pieces together for my own Interpretation. The evidence stacks up pretty well. For a while Idk why I thought lego batman 2 was first (I had colossal brain damage)
I would love to see the first lego batman game get a remake. Imagine it having dialogue and the new mechanics. I love the first lego batman game because it's all about batman and there's no justice league .
But Dimensions has to take place after LEGO Batman 3 because Batman recognized Brainiac in Dimensions, while LBM3 is the first time the Justice League meets Brainiac.
I used your timeline to finally come to this conclusion… Lego DC Batman: Family Matters (Flashbacks only) Lego Batman: The Videogame Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League - Cosmic Clash Lego Batman 2 (Or Lego Batman: The Movie: Dc Super Heroes Unite) Lego Dimensions (Main Story) Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League - Gotham City Breakout Lego DC Batman: Family Matters LEGO DC: Shazam - Magic & Monsters Lego DC Supervillains
Don’t forget that flashback of Young Bruce and Slade Wilson training in Gotham City Breakout which takes place sometime either before or after the Wayne’s death but I like to think it takes place after the Wayne’s death
Lego Batman 2 made an error. Originally on the Lego Batman 2 website he was marked as Tim Drake. But in the actual Game they made an error and marked him as Dick Grayson. Which is why they corrected it in the third game. Actually had a video on this a LONG time ago on a different channel because I had actually reached out to WB about it. 😂
I was recently playing through Lego dimensions, and I came across saying that could have interesting effects on the timeline. In Lego dimensions, specifically the Midway Arcade level in the story mode, Batman tries, calling Oracle to try and get some advice on how to get out of their situation. This implies that at some point in the timeline, a version of the killing joke happens in which Barbara Gordon ends up paralyzed… or maybe Bat-Girl just goes by that title from time to time?
You know what would be funny. A video in a similar style to that video of the guy trying to connect the entire Disney Sitcom universe, but with every lego crossover we've had (aside from dimensions cuz that's the multiverse which is different). See how many games in the whole franchise are actually connected in one way or another.
Btw 15:01 that isn’t the classic Lego Batman 1 suit for tim. That’s the suit he dawns after getting rid of the red one. The suit before he becomes Red Robin. Just look at the sleeves, hair, and suit.
This is just the right amount of believable and ridiculous! I like how Bane’s Mole Machine, a typo, and Doctor Who somehow became very crucial elements. 😂
OH MY GOD. When I was younger I’d theorize with my cousin on a “timeline” of the Lego Batman games and we always debated which one came first and then last. Finally, this clears things up. I can finally die at peace now.

Although I personally consider the timeline of the Lego Batman video games separate from the Lego DC movies, I applaud the creative way you put them into the same universe. Plus if they are in the same universe that just means more lore to look into.
⁹l9[[o
Yeah I wouldn't have tried to tie them to the games but I'm fascinated that it fits close enough
Feel like it’s worth mentioning that Lego Batman 2 on 3DS, despite covering the same events as the other versions, DOES correctly identify the Robin as Tim Drake, which should put the nail in the coffin regarding the typo issue.
And in fact includes one other major character, red hood, who we all know is actually Jason Todd.
Actually, Lego Batman movie comes between both Lego movie 1 and 2 because in Lego movie 2 they say “Batman is having his own stand alone adventure” which is why he doesn’t get captured with the rest of the league
16:20 on that note, there's a part when Joker threatens to split Gotham in half where there's a news bulletin that had video of Emmet falling into the void. Which means Lego Batman comes before LM2
Batman even refers to TLBM in TLM2, mentioning that he was on his own adventure before.
I’ve never heard of this guy before, but I’m sure my children will know of him as a legend.
Same
You never heard of Batman?
@@cooliostarstache5474 bd1p
@@ked49 bd1p is Batman?!?
I was just joking
it makes so much sense that Lego dimensions causes a timeline split between Lego batman 3 and DC Super villains. it explains an awful lot of differences aesthetically between the games
plus The Joker is still using his giant Joker robot from the second game in Dimensions for the Simpsons level where he and Lord Business are attacking Springfield's Power Plant
I am so impressed with how detailed u got and how much research u did, man. Very few people love Lego games enough to make a timeline for them, let alone one this good and meticulously researched
Personally, I think I'll always consider the films not canon however I do like the idea of batman leading the league at one point but then not wanting to deal with them at the beginning of LB2
another thing I would note is that the hub world for DC comics in dimensions has both Gotham and metropolis merged together, we never see that again but I wonder if that's a whole new timeline too
it’s actually kind of funny, even when he joins the league in the movies he makes a point to tell each one of them how much he distrusts them, so it all really fits character wise
DC Super Villains kind of references it.
The world doesn’t matter because it’s just like the suits. They can be changed because of style. But one suit that does matter is the blue Batman suit. Batman never wears it in the games but does in the movies possibly meaning it could be a different universe.
Well the reason that the two cities are mixed in Dimensions is because of all the dimensional shenanigans
Lego dc super villains has them merged as well
LEGO Lore goes crazily hard
Yeah, the lore is so complex that it rivals ark and minecraft lore
@@Tg2Lc also fortnite
Mad respect for this.
Thank you! means a lot!
@@bd1p That was a good DC timeline. I wonder if you can do a LEGO Marvel timeline video. Here's a bit of the Marvel timeline:
The first half of Lego Marvel Avengers (game) takes place before the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes. Because in the first level of that game, Tony said, "Didn't we just clean up this city?". & Tony knows the shawarma place, due to the events of the Battle of New York, which is the first half of Lego Marvel Avengers.
The second half of Lego Marvel Avengers takes place after the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes, & it also takes place before the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, is because Hulk flys a ship into space, & lands on the planet of Sakaar, one of the locations of Chronopolis in Lego Marvel Superheroes 2. & The Statue of Liberty was rebuilt 4 years after the events of Lego Marvel Superheroes.
Like it if you like my timeline.
@@gavinrice2246 But with the spacehsip thing that's because that is where hulk ends up in Thor Ragnarok
The Dick Grayson in Lego Batman 2 thing is definitely a typo - the handheld version had Robin in civilian clothes titled as Tim Drake
I used to think LB1 Robin was actually Jason Todd because of the different costume to the later installments. The theory said that somewhere between LB1 and LB2 Jason died, then Tim Drake came and somewhere between LB2 and LB3 Jason returned as Red Hood (would explain why there is a Red Hood in LB3 and not in LB2)
The Lego Batman DS Game proved me wrong since Tim Drake is in that game, but imagine how cool it would be to secretly have the whole Red Hood storyline be canon in Lego Batman of all things
Yeah but canonically the Robin in LB1 is still Tim Drake.
@@marvelanddcretrospective That's what I said. It used to be my theory but canonically it doesn't check out. Keep in mind I didn't know about any of the movies either lmao
@@marvelanddcretrospective “i used to think”
@@legendlalo didn't see that part. It's late.
Red Hood IS Canon as he appears in DC super-villains, implying Joker nearly killed Jason Todd in the Joker
You forgot to mention how the syndicate are also from another dimension. I think that is further proof villains takes place after dimensions.
True. They come from Earth-3
Lego dimensions was omniversal not multiversal
@axelnilsson5124 Multiverse refers to the existence of multiple realities. The omniverse is EVERY reality. Only Lego dimensions wasn't every reality, it was just the Lego ones. There aren't multiple omniverses, but there are multiple multiverses.
@@bradworstyt7001 no the multiverse refers to multiple realities similar to the reality you’re familiar with like the DC multiverse consists of the new 52, 16, 23, 40 etc. the omniverse consists of multiple media multiverses that wouldn’t collide even through some multiverse shenanigans like with marvel and DC and just because Tt didn’t utilize every media ever in the game doesn’t mean it’s not omniversal
@axelnilsson5124 Yes but actually no, Lego dimensions doesn't consist of the actual DC universe, lord of the rings, Sonic, or whatever, it is made up of all the Lego versions of those continuities. Making it one franchise.
I honestly hadn’t expected such a good theory of lego Batman, but what I’d thought it since LB3 was the heroes first fought brainiac like cosmic clash. I always thought of the concept of the games and lego home video movies being separate earths/universes
I absolutely loved that you have managed to put all of these together. Great work!
Im glad I’m not the only one who has been trying to sort out this timeline. When I tried a while back I came to almost the exact same conclusion as you, meaning this timeline makes enough sense for two people to arrive at basically the same conclusion about it.
An interesting thing about the whole “Dick Grayson/Tim Drake situation” is that in the movie version of the game, only Bruce appears without his suit and Robin stays in his the entire time (almost as though the developers just wanted to ignore and forget about their previous mistake). Also, in the DS port of Lego Batman 2, Dick Grayson as a playable character has been replaced with Tim Drake, implying even more that his naming in the normal version of the game was a mistake.
Does Braniac appearing in LEGO dimensions change anything in the timeline? Because I recall he pops up in the Lord of the rings level, and if you have Batman active he’ll imply he’s met Brainiac before.
Yeah. Obviously it means LEGO Dimensions take place after Beyond Gotham. This video is using portal travel and a Weeping Angel to show that Beyond Gotham takes place after Dimensions, but really, couldn't the League have developed their own portal technology? And those Weeping Angels are probably not real.
I have never interacted with any Dimensions and assumed that each little set was self contained.. but did you say that Braniac appears in Lord of the Rings.. and Batman.. is the extra content for that, implying that Braniac is in the Lord of the Rings levels in the base game?
@@BaconNuke The main story of LEGO Dimensions has characters crossing over. You play as Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf travelling between the different worlds, and the villains from their worlds are often meddling in the different worlds. The Joker Bot boss fight at 17:10 happened in The Simpsons world. And the Ghostbusters level is titled "The Phantom Zone" because of General Zod's involvement. And after unlocking the Locate Keystone, you can use it to summon a character from another universe to clear obstacles.
LEGO Dimensions is the biggest crossover ever.
@@SeanWheeler100 They had portal technology in 3, it's how you got to most hubs, including Oa and the other planets.
@@sacrificiallamb4568 I know that. And I'm saying the Justice League probably used their own portal technology to get to those planets. They don't need Vortech's help. The Aperture Science Enrichment Center was using portals long before the events of LEGO Dimensions happened. In fact, the League could be reverse-engineering a metahuman's ability to create those portals. Remember the Boom Tubes from Apokollips? They never needed some interdimensional crossover to work. Did you know Green Lantern's ring can open wormholes? That's a fact I just learned today. And there's a Teen Titans villain named Warp. Teleportation technology in the DC Universe doesn't need LEGO Dimensions to happen.
I love that my favorite Lego game from my childhood (dimensions) literally cut the timeline in half
Hoe old are you bruh, dimensions isnt that old
damn i didn’t know that people were this young. My first lego game was lego star wars 2
@@EvilAwoken wait till bro finds out 1 year olds exist rn
@@EvilAwoken That game released 7 years ago. This means that at that time, ~7 years ago you played Lego Star Wars 2.
@@Protosilver97 lego Star Wars 2 came out like in the 2000s
Damn, this is right up my alley. Literally, I had timeline ideas in my notes for a few months now. Why did I never think to do LEGO? Brilliant work my dude
3:30 very glad that you specified which Robin, for I remember as a child I was always guessing as to which mofo I was playing as haha
Surprisingly simple yet complex
I say Lego Dimensions could have been the result of the merged city in DC Villains. I remember one of the npcs talking about both cities being rebuilt after some big event. Which could be the result of Vortex merging and scrambling the dimensions since first wave characters homes are in shambles.
Another bit to add on with the Lego Batman 2 Dick Grayson/Tim Drake thing is that version of Robin is only referenced as Dick in the game. I had a Lego Magazine from back in 2012 that had the figures from the Lego Batman 2 sets and Robin's bio labeled him as Tim Drake.
the suit he wears in the game is also one of Tim's suits from the comics.
0:23 wait is that Pico from Pico's School
Lego batman 2 has got to be one of the best games ever made. I put so many hours into it, it's so nostalgic and just wonderful in so many ways. A game I was truly in love with.
actually incredible, the research that went in to this alone deserves recognition
This amount of effort and dedication deserves a sub and a like.
I didn't realize the Lego movies were canon, as I've never watched them. Very enjoyable video.
They're literally not
@@brendanvaughan3272 I agree. The brainiac plot in the movie is completely different from the game. You can‘t take samples from other media for the videogame timeline
The DC Database has the movie and games' universes separated. The games are "Lego Batman" while the movies are "Lego DC Heroes."
They aren't. There is no evidence to both being connected and there is no reason to be.
One of the LB3 DLC levels is based on Justice League vs. Bizarro League, so the movies are about as canon as Adam West's Batman.
I didn't even know half of these lego movies existed
I've been thinking about this for years, glad someone finally made a video about it.
1:03 It's kind of the same in the Arkham Games and Young Justice.
In YJ we have Grayson and Nightwing both as Robin in different seasons, but Jason only had a cameo as Robin. (As far as I remember.)
In Arkham, even if Grayson hadn't a part in the story as Robin, he had his own Robin suit and was playable in Arkham Origins multiplayer.
We didn't have anything about Jason until Arkham Knight, and he was already the Arkham Knight.
Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but it feels as if they forget about him or don't want to put him on the main stories until he is back from the dead.
I don't know if this makes sense or not (since i haven't watched the films), but I don't think Dimensions can be before LB3 because of Batman's reaction to Brainiac. In LB3, when he uses the telescope to see Brainiacs ship, Batman doesn't recognise what it is and contacts the watchtower. In Dimensions, when Braniac appears in the lord of the rings level, he says "Brainac too?" Implying he does know who Braniac is, but he didn't in LB3. The fact that Braniac appears isn't the contradiction, it's Batman's knowledge of who Braniac is.
Obviously because Lego Dimensions (On the Lego Batman side) canonically take place after Lego Batman 3. And we know Lego Batman 3 is after the first two games due to it being a continunation of 2. How Robin is labled as Dick Grayson in 2 even though he's Tim Drake, is probably just TT Games mistook Grayson for Tim.
It makes a lot of sense.
Slight nitpick, you don’t have to call Bizarro “Bizarro Superman.” He’s the original Bizarro after all
I love this--thank you for all the in-depth research! There should be more LEGO timeline videos on TH-cam!
Yeah, I would love to see more LEGO timeline videos.
In the Lego film the flash he meets reverse flash for the first time but at the end of it he fades out of this existence but reverse flash also appears in Lego dc super villains so it doesn’t make sense
And you thought the FNaF timeline was complicated
This timeline is peak.
To try to make sense of what happened with Robin's identity, I'm pretty sure it's all been Tim Drake, and Lego Batman 2 was just an error by the devs. It had been officially Tim Drake in Lego Batman 2 in the marketing and development of the game, just like Tim being in LB1 and 3, but later down the line someone had probably assumed there is only one Robin and "corrected" the team that Robin's name is Dick Grayson, not Tim Drake, which led to changing his name in Lego Batman 2. Other versions of LB2 still call him Tim IIRC, but the Xbox 360/PS3/PC version said Dick Grayson. And lastly, he is never actually called Dick Grayson in the game, only through text, such as the character's name in the roster. No one ever actually says his name, unlike 3, where he calls himself Tim. So as far as I see, Tim is the Robin in LB2, and TT are just dumb.
Update: Just got done watching both this and your Robin video. Glad to see you also came to the same conclusion.
There was also a time in LEGO Batman 3 when they were in the underground subway, and there was still destruction from the Joker Robot in LEGO Batman 2
Before watching: I usually just put LEGO Batman 1 in one universe, and 2 and 3 in a separate one. Yeah, it doesn't solve all the issues, but it's an okay solution.
LEGO DC Super-Villains is also kind of its own thing. It could be a sequel, but it seems to have its own versions of every character, different VAs and all.
As for Dimensions, I have no idea lol
Lego DC Super Villian follows the post credit scene of lego batman 3 where darkseid will invade earth.
@@Tg2Lc That was never a post credits scene of LEGO Batman 3. There was the one with Lex, Joker, and Brainiac locked up, the one where Sinestro vows revenge before walking right into the invisible jet, and the one where a bunch of DC heroes use the Slideways Teleporter in a pose that looks like Marvel heroes from the silhouette.
Don't try to fool me here, I've played these games way too many times lol
@@Lokear strange, I really thought there was a post credit scene featuring darkseid, my bad
Babe wake up, bd1p posted a lego batman video!

As someone who knows nothing about anything DC related, I found it funny when you said something like "This can't go here in the timeline because Robin is Smickle Smog II at this point."
Fun fact, the DC Wiki has the games and the films in separate continuities
Personally, I think that Lego Batman 1 (2008) is a separate story. The two biggest ideas that could support this claim are these:
1. The game came out during the run of the "LEGO Batman" theme that went from 2006-2008 and then disappeared until the "LEGO DC Super Heroes" theme started in 2012. The focus of the first theme was strictly Batman.
2. The first iteration of Batman in Lego (from 2006-2008) was significantly darker and grittier in tone and art style than the versions that came later; not to mention the lack of references to the other DC heroes other than that info on the batcomputer about superman (which I take to be an easter egg rather than a plot point - similar to what the Arkham games did).
So in my mind, trying to make the timelines fit together is like trying to make Tim Burton's Batman fit in the same timeline as Zack Snyder's Batman. Also, the comment in the recording about the 2nd and 3rd game being sequels was in regards to the release dates, not the storyline (since he was talking about the game mechanics at the time).
Damn, didn’t know lego Batman’s lore and timeline is so in depth that we need a historian to practically sort it for us…
Her: I bet he’s cheating on me
Me: *watches lego batman lore*
This blows my theory out of the water good job man!
17:51 Your theory about things being not where they should be because of dimensions is actually confirmed in year two of lego dimensions. A lot of characters are misplaced like shaggy and Scooby-Doo in fantastic beasts and where to find them. Emmet also appears in the backround of the ghostbusters reboot story's ending. So there you go thats actually confirmation of things being displaced through dimensions after vortech's defeat.
The most difficult thing about this timeline is separating it from what I know to be true in the comics, what with character designs. A major example of this would be the design and attributes of each of the different Robins as well as their order in terms of the timeline put together here. Once I got past that, I was able to remove the doubts I had
Superman: Bruce you owe me 15 dollars
Batman: f**k off
First, Wendigoon puts out the most coherent FNAF timeline I've ever seen, and now this. We are truly living in the best Order Order-out-of-Chaos-Video-Essay Era
very good watch!! but just a note, a visual representation of the final timeline, or one that updates as we go, would have been appreciated
Insanely well researched, good show.
I really enjoyed this video, having played LEGO Batman 2, 3 and dimensions, and having watched almost all these LEGO films.
very nice, one thing i may suggest is having a visual timeline for the games :)
14:41 oh yes! I was waiting to see how this one would fit in haha! All the more amusing lego dimensions caused variants to emerge
I don‘t think the Lego Justice League movies takes place in the videogame timeline. But this is a very enjoyable video
this was my childhood back when I was a young lad with a 3DS and lego games were my first exposure to games, thx you for explaining this

th-cam.com/video/Haj02fU1gMQ/w-d-xo.html
edit: Yes, obviously the films are supposed to be their own canon, congrats, you figured it out! the video is to show how perfectly they all fit together regardless. I also see comments pointing out the fact that Damien Wayne's Robin is in Be-Leaugered. Yes, Robin does appear for an onsrceen gag in the start of the movie, however, there is no crediting towards this character, so the identity of that Robin is unknown. Yes, it shares the costume of Damien, however, Batman himself changes costumes many times between the games and movies, rendering using costumes a means of identifying character pretty useless. That also being said, this is a "theory" at the end of the day, so come to your own conclusions
Obligatory "First" comment
I thought that Robin from the first Lego Batman game was dick Grayson
LEGO DIMENSIONS LEGO DIMENSIONS LEGO DIMENSIONS
Just out of curiosity, what about the Lego Flash Movie?
I don't think the Family Matters and the Flash Time Travel movie are from a seperate divergence due to the Dimensions timeline however a split is definitely possible.
Most if not everything about designs are different most notably being brainiac's ship design since those are 2 very different things in game and outside so...
3 seperate universes?
1 is Universe one that follows everything up to Villains.
2 is the new dimension where we see Family Matters and Magic and Monsters.
3 however is a new split as we learn from the Sonic Level in Dimensions that Bats, Gandalf and Wyldstyle still travel the multiverse with their original suits.
What may add to this theory is how Dimensions you can have 2 characters interact and even have the SAME characters interact with each other so we can guess 1 went home and the other is the multiverse hopping Bats.
12:20 Dick Grayson? My mans that's Bully Maguire
TH-cam recommended section strikes again, this time with a proper timeline for the cultured, I don't even know who this guy is but it definitely deserves a like!...
One small detail I noticed while watching this:
In LEGO Dimensions, when DC Batman runs into LEGO Batman, they're in Cloud Cuckoo Land, which was destroyed during the events of the first Lego Movie, which seemingly glues the Lego Batman Movie in between the events of the two Lego Movies further
I never knew that there was a connection between the games and those movies. I also was wondering where you would put Cosmic Clash. I never expected a 2nd timeline. A very great, entertaining vid.
The games and movies aren't connected
@@gordonschnick12 this literally made for fun. don't be a buzzkill please
I have even watched this yet (1:25) and just from your passion, I can already tell this is going to be a fantastic video. You’re amazing :)
I always thought that Dc supervillains was a parallel universe because of the amount of voice actors that were recast despite a lot of them returning for this game just in different parts.
they aged in that game
I love how he still thinks of his dad as strong and amazing even though he’s been gone for like all of Telemachus’ life
I’m not a Dc Comics fan but this video was very fascinating! Great job!
19:17 "That Goddamn Mole Machine" 😂😂
The only thing I disagree with is Lego DC Supervillains (I don’t believe it is in the LB Universe). Not just because of different voice actors and different city locations, but because Anti-Monitor was introduced and could lead to an infinite crisis Lego game, which could have all 3 Batmen meet.
a crisis game would be so cool. I would hope they would make more of a “Justice League” game first that allows the characters to exist separate of Batman before hand tho so it has more of an effect
The Lego batman movie would have had to taken place before the Lego movie, as their whole world goes apocalyptic at the end
tim is the robin of the first 3 lego batmans. its wrong in lego batman 2. dick is the robin of lego dimensions. and damian is the robin of dc super villains. however i like to pretend the original robin is actually jason todd instead of tim drake. i would personally consider lego dimensions another universe since gotham and metropolis are merged, but they arent in anything else.
The Robin in dimensions is Tim Drake, the costume matches LB1 and all wiki pages referencing dimensions hyperlink to Tim Drake when clicking on Robin
@@bd1p the actual figure used is a dick grayson figure. its based on the robin from the teen titans, which is dick grayson, not tim drake.
I’m pretty sure the Dimensions Robin is based off of the teen titans version of his costume, not LB1. The voice of Robin in dimensions is also the same voice actor as the Robin in teen titans and the Robin in teen titans is shown to be Dick Grayson. Great work on the video by the way
To tell about the LEGO Batman Movie, it takes place after The LEGO Movie, because Emmet is shown falling from Octan.
I personally believe that the movies all take place in order and are in one timeline, and the games all take place in order and are in another timeline, meaning that the games are not canon to the movies, and the movies are not canon to the games.
DC Super-Heroes Unite is just a slightly different interpretation of Lego Batman 2. From what I’ve heard, it is just the cutscenes from Lego Batman 2 with extra scenes added where the levels would be, so it is mostly canon to the games, it is not canon to the rest of the films. (I could be wrong about that, though, as I have not seen that film, but I have seen all of the other ones, save for Cosmic Clash, and I have played all the games.)
Also, I could’ve sworn that a developer confirmed that them calling Robin Dick in Lego Batman 2 was a mistake.
Also, I’m not sure if Dimensions is even canon, but that is one of the only Lego games I haven’t played (the others being the second movie game, the Ninjago movie game, Incredibles, Marvel 2, Hobbit, Lord of The Rings, and the ones that are exclusive to the 3DS), so I could be wrong about that.
Lego Batman 2 was my favourite, the joker's laugh at the beginning is very iconic
Very interesting, and as a HUGE lego batman fiend I really enjoyed this banger. I even looked back in my lego batman DS and wii manuals to put the pieces together for my own Interpretation. The evidence stacks up pretty well. For a while Idk why I thought lego batman 2 was first (I had colossal brain damage)
I would love to see the first lego batman game get a remake. Imagine it having dialogue and the new mechanics. I love the first lego batman game because it's all about batman and there's no justice league .
Praise the fish god
praise be
But Dimensions has to take place after LEGO Batman 3 because Batman recognized Brainiac in Dimensions, while LBM3 is the first time the Justice League meets Brainiac.
I used your timeline to finally come to this conclusion…
Lego DC Batman: Family Matters (Flashbacks only)

Lego Batman 2 made an error. Originally on the Lego Batman 2 website he was marked as Tim Drake. But in the actual
Game they made an error and marked him as Dick Grayson. Which is why they corrected it in the third game. Actually had a video on this a LONG time ago on a different channel because I had actually reached out to WB about it. 😂
Thank you so much for including dimensions, that game has been keeping me up trying to figure out the timeline for months.
I was recently playing through Lego dimensions, and I came across saying that could have interesting effects on the timeline. In Lego dimensions, specifically the Midway Arcade level in the story mode, Batman tries, calling Oracle to try and get some advice on how to get out of their situation.
This implies that at some point in the timeline, a version of the killing joke happens in which Barbara Gordon ends up paralyzed… or maybe Bat-Girl just goes by that title from time to time?
Bit of a correction: Batman says the Oracle line whenever he faces a boss fight, and not exclusively in the Midway Arcade level
I grew up on these games and films and never thought they might be connected (except for the games of course)
Very entertaining and thought out video!
They aren't actually, but ok.
They're not
I'm not saying they are, just that it's an interesting idea
You know what would be funny. A video in a similar style to that video of the guy trying to connect the entire Disney Sitcom universe, but with every lego crossover we've had (aside from dimensions cuz that's the multiverse which is different). See how many games in the whole franchise are actually connected in one way or another.
Btw 15:01 that isn’t the classic Lego Batman 1 suit for tim. That’s the suit he dawns after getting rid of the red one. The suit before he becomes Red Robin.
Just look at the sleeves, hair, and suit.
This is just the right amount of believable and ridiculous! I like how Bane’s Mole Machine, a typo, and Doctor Who somehow became very crucial elements. 😂
OH MY GOD. When I was younger I’d theorize with my cousin on a “timeline” of the Lego Batman games and we always debated which one came first and then last. Finally, this clears things up. I can finally die at peace now.
I've wanted someone to make a video about the Lego batman timeline for like 2 years you don't know how happy I am
