The Tomorrowverse In Order

Much like how Superman (2025) kicked off the DCU, Superman: Man of Tomorrow marked the beginning of the Tomorrowverse. Rather than trying to build a larger narrative, this movie is a genuine Superman film where he faces and works with enemies like Lex Luthor and Lobo against a powerful enemy in Parasite.

The film also introduced us to Martian Manhunter and proved to be a strong start to this new universe. The animation style worked for Superman, and its colorful palette made it distinct from what would continue to be released in the future.

Justice Society: World War II was a unique choice to continue this universe, turning the clock back to the Golden Age of the DC universe, where Wonder Woman teamed up with Jay Garrick's Flash, Black Canary, and others. But the film also introduced Barry Allen's Flash as he taps into the Speed Force and travels back in time.

It's a fun time travel story where two Flashes from different eras meet, and we get a sense of how vast this world is in a single film that other franchises take multiple arcs to cover. Justice Society: World War II manages to balance many characters and concepts while still feeling fresh, and it makes it timeless.

Meant to adapt the comic book series of the same name, Batman: The Long Halloween - Part One sets Batman on a mystery that takes him through the darker side of the DC universe as we are introduced to Batman's world. While trying to solve a rash of holiday-themed murders, Batman slowly uncovers a larger conspiracy.

The film highlights the Falcone family and the Joker, and shows how Gotham City's escalation takes effect. What begins as a basic murder mystery ultimately shows the many colors and threats of Batman's universe and his villains.

Batman: The Long Halloween - Part Two continues Batman's hunt for the killer known as the "Holiday Killer." This part of the story not only concludes that mystery but also, more famously, expands Batman's rogues' gallery in massive ways.

We get to see Two-Face debut, the Mad Hatter, and the Scarecrow all in one film while also learning about Wayne's past and family ties to the Falcones. Overall, The Long Halloween remains incredibly faithful to the source material and also offers something new, making it a great introduction to the Tomorrowverse's Batman.

Like Lanterns (2026-), Green Lantern: Beware My Power shows John Stewart's origin in the Green Lantern Corps and the familiar friends and foes he meets along the way. The film sees John take part in the Rannian-Thanagarian war alongside Green Arrow, Hawkgirl, and Adam Strange.

Green Lantern: Beware My Power does a great job expanding the cosmic theater of the Tomorrowverse and shows us all the key elements of Green Lantern lore, including Hal Jordan's villainous turn into Parallax. Once again, this universe shows how it can balance many ideas into one film to make a universe work perfectly.

Where Superman's origin was very grounded and wholesome in Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Legion of Super-Heroes showed how Supergirl's transition to life on Earth was much more difficult. As she tries to find her place, she's offered to travel to the 31st century to train in the Legion Academy under the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Legion of Super-Heroes allowed us to explore the distant future of the Tomorrowverse with its many unique and fun characters, like Brainiac 5. It's a great coming-of-age story for Supergirl and shows what she needs to be the best hero she can be.

Easily the strangest entry in the Tomorrowverse, Justice League: Warworld sees Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman in the titular Warworld, where they are in different settings like the Wild West, '50s sci-fi noir, and fantasy. But each hero has to fight their way back to reality to face down the film's main villain, Mongul.

Justice League: Warworld is a great film that highlights the strengths of the DC trinity and shows what makes them great before the three-part finale that follows. It's also a much lower-stakes story than the future, making it a fun entry to enjoy.

Based on the iconic comic event Crisis on Infinite Earths, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One sees the Monitor take the heroes of the Tomorrowverse to help stop the Anti-Matter and his antimatter wave that destroyed Earths in an instant. Told through the eyes of the Flash, we see him go through many key moments of his life until his climactic end.

The stakes of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One are felt from the start, and it makes the movie much more intense than you'd expect. But the best part is how it picks up loose ends and eases into the next film's protagonist, Supergirl.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two is the dark middle chapter of this already dour trilogy, as Supergirl's story is retold and we see Supergirl take the role of Harbinger to bring heroes to help the Monitor.

The scariest part of this movie is the finality of the antimatter wave and how scary the Anti-Monitor is as a villain. As we see the heroes of Earth-One help other Earths, it doesn't stop their world from meeting the same fate, as the movie ends with their home being prepared for destruction.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three ends the Tomorrowverse and brings the story full circle as the heroes realize that fighting can only get them so far. Seeing the truth reveals that John Constantine's choices at the end of Apokalips War changed everything, and thus everything had to end to right the future.

Unfortunately, the Tomorrowverse has a grim but hopeful ending as it marks the conclusion of such a unique universe. Since then, animated DC films have still come out, but it's hard to match the creativity this universe had. But it also paid great homage to what came before and provided a conclusion to a surprisingly creative and emotional trilogy.
