After intense research I believe the timeline goes as: Lego Batman 1 Lego Batman 2 Lego Batman 3

This timeline is still more consistent than the DCEU’s.

Jason is a lot more lucky in this timeline then usual

Somebody get this man a medal, because that was amazing. Also its really cool to me that robin is kinda the key to everything lining up

I once heard a wonderful theory about how Lego Batman 1 was actually a prequel to Arkham Asylum.

so does that mean Tim Drake went through the same character arc three times? that honestly hurts the most

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!

One thing to note: Brainiac does briefly appear in Lego Dimensions, and Batman's reaction when he sees Brainiac seems to imply he's seen him before

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.

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.

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

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

I’ve never heard of this guy before, but I’m sure my children will know of him as a legend.

The Dick Grayson in Lego Batman 2 thing is definitely a typo - the handheld version had Robin in civilian clothes titled as Tim Drake

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

LEGO Lore goes crazily hard

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

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

Mad respect for this.

I love that my favorite Lego game from my childhood (dimensions) literally cut the timeline in half

I didn't realize the Lego movies were canon, as I've never watched them. Very enjoyable video.

You forgot to mention how the syndicate are also from another dimension. I think that is further proof villains takes place after dimensions.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I didn't even know half of these lego movies existed

Surprisingly simple yet complex

I absolutely loved that you have managed to put all of these together. Great work!

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

Babe wake up, bd1p posted a lego batman video!

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

Fascinating- so if I'm reading correctly, Shazam not being a hero means Dimensions retroactively made Billy Batson a normal kid? As in, it's not even butterfly effect- it quite literally went back and changed details that were already set in stone.

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

This amount of effort and dedication deserves a sub and a like.

17:25 I love the detail of the hole still in the belly.

Fun fact, the DC Wiki has the games and the films in separate continuities

I don‘t think the Lego Justice League movies takes place in the videogame timeline. But this is a very enjoyable video

I love this--thank you for all the in-depth research! There should be more LEGO timeline videos on KZfaq!

I've been thinking about this for years, glad someone finally made a video about it.

actually incredible, the research that went in to this alone deserves recognition

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…

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.

Her: I bet he’s cheating on me Me: *watches lego batman lore*

19:17 "That Goddamn Mole Machine" 😂😂

Insanely well researched, good show.

very nice, one thing i may suggest is having a visual timeline for the games :)

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.

This blows my theory out of the water good job man!

I’m not a Dc Comics fan but this video was very fascinating! Great job!

KZfaq 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!...

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

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

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

Thank you so much for including dimensions, that game has been keeping me up trying to figure out the timeline for months.

This video was really good I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did you should do another one of these at some point I'll be sure to check out the rest of your channel

Why am I only finding out about this channel now!? This channel is sick and I love lego video games and this video was awsome. Quickest sub of my life. Keep up that awsome videos 👍

Praise the fish god

it would be nice to have this timeline visualised

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

Lego Batman 2 was my favourite, the joker's laugh at the beginning is very iconic

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.

This man deserves a standing ovation

This is so cool, I’ve always wondered about this. Love the video

Finally someone makes a timeline of this Its so cool that my favourite 3 lego games finally get a fan chronology, thanks dude

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.

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.

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 :)

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).

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)

All cause of that god damn mole machine smh 🙄

DUDE THIS IS AMAZBALLS thanks so much for the hard work!

In another Justice League Movie, Brainiac wanted to make Earth a part of his Collection of Planets that he Reduced. After another Planet that he had Broke, he needed a planet with a Name that started with E and A, aka Earth

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.

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.

Great job! Something I noticed though in the family matters flashbacks is that we see Tim Drakes suit in the background of one of the scenes. It also made it seem that Tim Drake wasn't Jason's replacement but Damian Wayne was. Again I could be misreading the whole situation and I do really like your placement of the movies and games it works really well. Just thought to point it out.

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?

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!

I still think DC Super Villains is its own universe, especially since TT Games themselves confirmed that its not canon to the LEGO Batman universe or timeline. You say there's two timelines and universes thanks to LEGO Dimensions, and while that does make some sense considering many contradictions with the games and movies, I believe DC Villains is separate from everything. Which makes me even more upset since Lex Luthor's deconstructor gun from LEGO Batman 2 is shown as a little easter egg in DC Villains every time you boot the game up. Confusion over 9000. 🤣😅🤔😭

Great vid! Has higher quality than most of >500k sub vids I've seen keep it up.

Personally I think Lego DC super villains has to take place in a post Lego dimensions world. I think this is the case for two reasons: 1. Everyone seems to be aware of the existence of a multi-verse, even people on associated with the justice league like random civilians or Commissioner Gordon. It would make sense they would know about that considering what happened in Lego dimensions. 2. Gotham and Metropolis are inexplicably combined in LEGO DC Supervillains. I think this is the biggest piece of evidence supporting that this game follows the events of Lego dimensions, sense in that game thanks to Vortech’s dimension meddling Gotham and metropolis were fused together. (Which if you visit the DC world as Batman you could actually hear dialogue of the dark Knight confirming this as he says “Vortech really did a number on this place.”) in the game Lego DC super villains this goes unexplained but it would make perfect sense. Admittedly the map looks very different how it did it in Lego dimensions but I think we can chop that up to inconsistent art style since the games and movies like to change designs frequently.

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

And you thought the FNaF timeline was complicated

I love you man This is such an amazing video on something so near and dear to my heart Simply incredible

If you missed last weeks video, you’re missing out on the best video on this channel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fseaY5WXupfLfYU.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

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.

Thank you for doing this! Great work. I'd love to see a timeline of Lego Star Wars or Lego Marvel!

Love this haven’t even watched and I know this is the KZfaq content I need everyone I watch has been too short or not entertaining

Dude hear me out. First is Lego batman 1, then Lego batman 2, and then Lego batman 3. I know its far fetched but just trust me bro fr

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 .

I really enjoyed this video, having played LEGO Batman 2, 3 and dimensions, and having watched almost all these LEGO films.

why on earth is "praise the fish god" the first comment

THANK YOU SM, I NEEDED THIS, LEGO BATMAN IS MY SPECIAL INTEREST BUT I CAN NEVER FIND CONTENT ABOUT IT
