NOTES FOR YOUR NEXT WATCH

DC watchlist journal.

Practical guidance for choosing your DC viewing journey and making time for the next story.

Your viewing progress

Your saved journey loads in this browser.

Keeping your journey and schedule

Closing the website does not normally remove your schedule. Your schedule and watched progress save automatically in this browser. Reopen the same website in the same browser profile to continue.

Where is my progress saved?

Your data stays in this browser on this device. There is no account or automatic cloud sync. Another browser, browser profile, device, or website address has separate storage. To move your progress to another browser or device, export a progress backup and import it there.

When could my schedule disappear?

Clearing the site’s browsing data, removing the browser profile, or using a browser that clears data on exit can remove it. Private or incognito sessions usually discard it when the private session ends. If the site reports that browser storage is unavailable, export a backup before leaving.

How do I back up or restore everything?

Open the viewing planner and choose Export progress backup. Keep the downloaded JSON file: it contains your watched and skipped progress plus the saved schedule. Use Import backup in the planner to restore it or transfer it to another browser. Importing asks for confirmation and replaces the current progress and schedule.

Are the calendar and schedule exports a full backup?

No. Export calendar (.ics) creates calendar events, and Export schedule (.json) contains the schedule only. Use Export progress backup for the file supported by Import backup, including watched and skipped progress.

How do I change the dates or restart my schedule?

Choose the titles or universe you want in the watchlist, open the planner, adjust the start date and available viewing time, then choose Replace saved schedule. Only one schedule is saved at a time. Replacing it keeps your watched and skipped progress and leaves those items out of the new plan. It uses your current title selection, so check that selection before replacing.

How do I start again from unwatched?

For just a few titles, undo their Watched or Skipped selection and untick any watched episodes before creating a new schedule. To reset everything, choose Clear saved data in the planner and confirm. This clears all watched and skipped progress and the saved schedule across every universe. Export a progress backup first if you may want to restore it.

What does Delete schedule remove?

It removes only the saved schedule after confirmation. Your watched and skipped progress remains. Selecting another journey in the Journal changes the progress you are viewing; it does not delete or restart your plan.

Will the schedule move forward automatically if I miss a day?

No. Saved dates remain as planned, even when you mark items watched or return later. Create a replacement schedule with a new start date to plan the remaining unwatched items.

Choose your first DC universe

Three good starting points, depending on the kind of story you want.

For a contemporary shared world, start with the DC Universe. For a complete, grounded Batman story, choose The Dark Knight Trilogy. For a longer animated journey, explore the DC Animated Universe.

There is no need to finish every older adaptation before starting a new continuity. A familiar face or character can appear in several worlds with different histories.

Release order or universe order?

How to choose a viewing sequence without crossing the timelines.

Release order follows the dates attached to each title. It is an easy way to experience how screen adaptations developed, but jumps between unrelated worlds.

Universe order keeps connected adaptations together and uses an editorial sequence. It is a useful starting point, not a scene-by-scene chronology: stories with flashbacks, crossovers, and alternate cuts do not fit one universal timeline.

Use the watch-order guide to choose a continuity. Title pages identify curated prerequisites and explain important exceptions.

Make room for your next movie night

A practical guide to planning films and episodes around your week.

Filter the watchlist first, then choose Create schedule. Give each weekday a viewing allowance, choose your start time and latest finish, and set an optional target date.

Strict order keeps the selected sequence. Flexible order can fit a shorter title into a gap while respecting episode order and listed prerequisites. Films and episodes stay in one sitting; increase your window for longer titles.

Your plan excludes watched and skipped items. Unknown runtimes or unannounced release dates are left out and reported. Series runtimes use episode data where available, with estimates clearly indicated. Export an iCalendar file to use your plan in a calendar app.
