Bruce Timm is considered one of DC’s premiere creators when it comes to their animated material. Timm has co-created some of DC’s most important pieces of animated content. FromSuperman: The Animated Series, andBatman: The Animated SeriestoJustice LeagueandJustice League Unlimited, Timm had a role to play in the creation of all these IPs, all of which shared a continuity, together being referred to as the DCAU.
Although afterJustice League Unlimitedended, the show would not get a sequel, it continued viaJustice League vs. The Fatal Five.The film existed in the same universe as the DCAU, as confirmed by Bruce Timm, who took the time to clear out where the film stands in the timeline.
Justice League vs. The Fatal Fivetakes place a few years afterJustice League Unlimitedended
Bruce Timm revealed that the sequel toJustice League Unlimitedmight have a lot of discrepancies when compared to the rest of the DCAU, but there is a lot that could have happened considering where the film is in the timeline, compared toJustice League Unlimited. Speaking withBleeding Cool, he said:
As far as I’m concerned it is….I would say anywhere from one year to three years after the end of Justice League Unlimited. It doesn’t take place immediately afterwards. Because there’s going to be some weird stuff in there that people are going to go, “how can that be in continuity because of That, That, and That?” But my answer is a lot can happen in a year.
Justice League vs. The Fatal Fivetook place a significant time after the final episode ofJustice League Unlimited. This allowed Bruce Timm to tweak some things about the universe, which he pointed out were possible because of the time jump that was written into the story by him and his team.

However, the DCAU remains one of the best versions of the DC mythos put to screen, despite all the successive versions of the characters that have been realized, be it the Tomorrow-verse, the DC Animated Movie Universe, or Zack Snyder’s DCEU.
