Playing the DC TV series timeline game

The cards are DC Comics television shows, both live action and animated, ordered by the year each one premiered. Below each title is the network or service that launched it. A starting series is already down, its year on display. Then you take each card in turn and decide which gap it fills. Correct guesses reveal the year. Wrong ones put the show in its rightful place and cost you one of three lives, and ten correct placements in a row bring a lost life back.

The line opens with the black-and-white adventures of early broadcast television and continues through campy live action, after-school animation, teen dramas and one network's linked superhero shows, ending in the prestige and streaming era. Several heroes get more than one series, sometimes generations apart, so the name in parentheses or the network is what tells them apart. A tight cluster of shows from that one network crowds the middle.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
