The Earth One of Warner Brothers is the designation for the Justice League Trilogy shepherded by Zack Snyder in the WB cinematic Multiverse. It also serves as the main setting for Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey and the other DC Films productions from 2013 to 2023, beginning with the early films under the direction of Snyder.
This franchise was originally advertised as Worlds of DC on a CW special. It was labeled as Earth One by Walter Hamada when he was appointed by AT&T to guide further DC movies.
Premise[]
In this reality, Batman was an experienced crimefighter, having been active for roughly 20 years. After losing his sidekick Robin to the Joker and Harley Quinn, he became more detached and brutal towards criminals. Initially coming into conflict with Superman, Batman would later join forces with the hero to defeat Lex Luthor. He would later create the Justice League following the Man of Steel's demise, working with them to thwart an attempted invasion by Steppenwolf and the forces of Apokolyps. Several of Batman's enemies were also members of the secret Suicide Squad, which had dealings in both Midway City and Corto Maltese.
Among the Batman-related projects to be set in the Snyderverse were Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Justice League (and its director's cut), Birds of Prey and The Flash. The universe is also the setting of other projects starring DC characters, including Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam!, Wonder Woman 1984, Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Both The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker are also believed to be set in this universe.

Trivia[]
- During The Flash, the Snyderverse is temporarily merged with something that resembled Burtonversedue to the multiverse attempting to ramify its version of the Flash averting his mother' murder, thus invoking a butterfly effect. Though played by Michael Keaton, it was a different being with an almost entirely different history. This new reality was short-lived as these events are later undone but, due to further altercations to exonerate Henry Allen of the crime, it is suggested to have merged with Schumacherverse instead.
