DC Extended Universe Guía y cronología
Superman's arrival changes a world that must learn to live with extraordinary power. The DCEU brings Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and other DC characters into overlapping film stories, mixing personal origins with shared threats. Zack Snyder's Justice League offers an alternate version of a central team-up rather than another step after it.

DCEU: a shared film world with a major version choice
Begin with Man of Steel and use theatrical release order. Choose theatrical Justice League or Zack Snyder's Justice League as an alternative version, not two consecutive team adventures.

Shared setup films appear in both branch contexts; that does not require watching the same film twice.
Overview & recommendation
The DCEU introduces heroes through connected films rather than arranging every story by its oldest scene. Release context makes the shared references easier to follow before returning to the earlier-set Wonder Woman adventures.
The important fork is Justice League. Its two presentations are not a team-up followed by its sequel, and the alternative group should not be mistaken for a whole new set of setup films.
Follow the theatrical release route from Man of Steel and make the Justice League version choice deliberately. If comparing both cuts, do so as comparison viewing rather than because both are needed to reach the next film.
Theatrical route and Snyder's alternative Shared beginnings, different Justice League presentation
The theatrical branch holds the principal film route and the represented first-season Peacemaker material. The Snyder branch shares setup before its alternative Justice League; it is not the newer DCU reboot.
Theatrical DCEU (18 entries)
The main theatrical DCEU route with represented first-season Peacemaker context. Historical settings and shared-universe references differ from release order.
Snyderverse (4 entries)
The shared Man of Steel and Batman v Superman setup leading to Zack Snyder's alternative Justice League, not a sequel after the theatrical version.
Heroes as the films introduced them 19 entries
Use Release order within the theatrical branch for a first viewing. Cross-listed setup and alternate presentations should not become required duplicate watches.

Earlier adventures and modern framing 19 entries
Wonder Woman's central adventure is in the First World War, and Wonder Woman 1984 is earlier than the modern films. Framing and time travel mean one date cannot describe every scene.
