Supergirl is out now as we finally meet Milly Alcock as Clark Kent's fun, carefree cousin following her cameo in Superman last summer. But just how are the two movies connected – and how much time takes place between them? Well, if you're curious about where Supergirl takes place on the DCU timeline, then you're in the right spot. We go into more detail about this below, as well as giving a bit of background on how it all links to the previous DCEU.
One thing is for sure, though, the DCU timeline is not nearly as complicated as the Marvel timeline, and at the moment, we are just dealing with one universe, not a wider multiverse, which helps matters. It helps, too, that James Gunn has been very open about how exactly his timeline works, meaning it's not too hard to decode exactly where Supergirl sits.
