DC's live-action Elseworlds (each non-Canon universe)
This list includes DC's movies and series which aren't a part of the Live-Action Multiverse. DC Live-Action Multiverse consists all the Arrowverse shows, all the cameos from Crisis on Infinite Earths, and George Reeves' Superman (via Speed Force cameo in The Flash). For the Live-Action Multiverse list: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls523800229/
Tie-in animated movies/series, games, and upcoming sequel/spin-offs are also included.
Movies and series from DC imprints (e.g. iZombie from Vertigo) aren't included. The only exception is The Sandman, despite being from Vertigo, is added because of its spin-off Dead Boy Detectives.
All the earth numbers in the list are made-up. The sole purpose of the numbers is grouping the shared universes.
*There hasn't been any statements on Deleted Arkham Scene's canonicity. But since nothing contradicts within the continuity so far, it can easily be assumed as canon.
**Aquaman: King of Atlantis is an alternate sequel to Aquaman movie that doesn't take place in DCEU.
***Josstice League takes place in an alternate Earth that's very similar to DCEU, but certain things weren't the same (e.g. Superman and Batman being campy and Steppenwolf leads the invasions instead of Darkseid). Superman and Batman's jokes makes adding MoS, BvS, and SS impossible. The WW duology can't be added either due to Patty Jenkins' statements. And since the post-JL DCEU events were supposed to happen after ZSJL (The Flash confirmed its canonicity), Josstice League becomes a standalone.
****HBO's Watchmen is an alternate sequel to the original 1986-87 comic. Rorschach from DC Black Label also takes place in this universe.
*****Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut is an alternate sequel to Superman: The Movie that doesn't take place in Earth-789.
******Tales of the Black Freighter is fully edited into The Ultimate Cut.
*******Smallville's Birds of Prey's, and Powerless' Unaired Pilots had few little differences than their original pilots. Rest of their timelines should be pretty much same with their original Earths (167 for Smallville, 203 for Birds of Prey, 216 for Powerless).
********The Catwoman movie can fit into Earth-89 without any contradictions. A scene acknowledges Pfeiffer's Catwoman as one of the previous Catwomen, yet it's the only connection. It can also be a very similar variant.
