• User in r/DC_Cinematic asks for help to decide whether to watch the DC movies in chronological order or release dates.
• Commenters are divided between which order is best, as some prefer chronological order while others suggest sticking to the release dates.
• A user recommends watching the movies chronologically: WWI, WW1984, MOS, BVS, SS, BOP, JL, Aquaman, and Shazam.
• Other users recommend following the release dates of the movies instead of watching in chronological order.
• A user suggests that Wonder Woman being set in the past is not as important as watching it before BvS, due to Bruce Wayne sending Diana the picture of Steve Trevor as the opening and closing of the film.
• Another user claims that watching by the timeline will cause inconsistencies because the Wonder Woman series is set in the past, so they suggest sticking to release times.
• One user recommends starting with Man of Steel since it was the first movie in the series.
• Another suggests starting with Wonder Woman, which is the earliest chronologically and a well-rounded DCEU movie that can act as an introduction to the DCEU.
• A few users recommend starting with a particular film to get the viewer interested in the DCEU, and then following the release dates.
• Several users suggest watching the extended version of BvS and the Suicide Squad Ayer Cut (unreleased) for the best experience.
• One user recommends watching Wonder Woman 1984 after Birds of Prey or after Wonder Woman 1, as it follows events from the first film.
• Mera mentions Steppenwolf in Aquaman, and Arthur acts differently with Mera in JL than he does in Aquaman, so some users suggest that it takes place after BvS and before JL.
• Some users mention that WW84 has inconsistencies with the rest of the DCEU, so it could be confusing for viewers to watch it in order.
• One user recommends watching Aquaman on repeat.
