Something interesting to consider is what sort of cultural malaise there might be in a France that Lost the Franco-Prussian War, Lost the First Weltkrieg, and then, assuming a really lucky player controlling the German Empire, get's their tailbone kicked between their shoulder blades for the third time when they go to war over Switzerland.
All the jokes about cheese-eating surrender monkies we have in our world might actually be considered real here. That the French have to admit that no matter what the French just can't fight the Germans, they WILL lose no matter what.
They might show the Trauma of the British rule especially Mosley ruled of Ireland in Second World WarDepending on how Ireland develops, Irish animation might become more mainstream:
Sedan Day for Kaiserreich Germany feels like a major one.What KR national holidays could be used for an Independence Day type movie?
Oh yes, the Bastile Day sounds like a great idea for a Commune of France sci-fi epic.Sedan Day for Kaiserreich Germany feels like a major one.
Bastile Day for any variant of France.
Yes he is in South Afrika IIRCHas J.R.R. Tolkien been mentioned in KR?

The DC Cinematic Universe (DCCU) is a media franchise and shared universe centered around superhero films produced by DC Entertainment. The films are based on characters that appear in comic books published by DC Comics. The franchise also includes television series, short films, digital series, and literature. The shared universe, much like the original DC comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.
The first DCCU film was Aquaman (2006) which began the films of Phase One culminating the crossover film The Justice League (2011). Phase Two began with Aquaman 3 (2012) and concluded with Hawkgirl (2014). Phase Three began with Batman: Hush (2015) and concluded with Justice League: United (2019). The first three phases have been dubbed “The Equation Saga”. The films of Phase Four that will start the “New Gods Saga” will debut with Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey (2020).
The franchise has been commercially successful and has generally received positive reviews. It has inspired other film and television studios to attempt to create similar shared universes with comic book character adaptations. Marvel, DC’s primary rival has launched its own combined universe with mixed success.
By the early 2000’s DC had begun to independently produce and distribute its own films through their parent company Warner Bros. These early films were co-produced with other studios such as Legendary Pictures, and New Line Cinema. DC Entertainment made relatively little profit from its licensing deals with the other studios and wanted to get more money out of its films while maintaining artistic control of the projects and distribution. Geoff Johns, the newly elected president of DC Entertainment envisioned creating a shared universe just as had been done with their comic books. He realized, while it would be difficult to convince Warner Bros. to give him the film rights of DC’s heavy hitters like Batman and Superman, DC Entertainment still owned the rights to the core Justice League members. The executives of Warner Bros. were skeptical about the potential of the franchise as they already had a Superman and a Batman movie in the works, but they agreed to give Johns a seven-year period and a credit of $500 million to produce seven films based on his idea.
The first film of the DCCU Aquaman, released in summer of 2006 which competed with Superman Returns. Everyone expected Aquaman to fail but were shocked to see it gross over $100 million on its opening weekend while Superman Returns only made $50 million. Shocked by its unexpected success Warner Bros. gave their full support to Geoff Johns vison and scrapped or redirected much of its existing DC projects to the new franchise.

The DC Elseworlds films were made initially to differentiate the DC films and products that were made prior to Phase One. While Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns did poorly at the box office, Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins was a success and Nolan insisted he be allowed to finish his trilogy independent from the DCCU. Geoff Johns decided to use Elseworlds as a place where directors could be given greater creative freedom and allowed to experiment without having to be constrained by the continuity established in the main films.

* Initially a standalone, retconned into DCCU
The DC One-Shots are a series of direct-to-video short films produced by DC Entertainment, set within the DCCU. Released between 2011-2015, they were included as special features on the DCCU’s Blu-ray and digital distribution releases. The films range from 3-15 minutes, are designed as self-contained stories that provide additional backstories for characters and events introduced in the films.
The first two shorts received generally negative reviews, but the rest were more positivity received and highlighted for their contributions in expanding the DCCU. All the One-Shots were made available on Watchtower when the Bat Family mockumentary shorts (2017-2019) were reclassified as One-Shots.

DC Entertainment has produced multiple television series set in the DCCU across broadcast, streaming, and cable. The first DCCU tv series were aired on The CW, then expanded to Blockbuster’s streaming service debuting with The Suicide Squad (2016-2019). Then, when Blockbuster was forced to breakup its illegal monopoly, Warner Bros. was quick to release its Young Adult Series on its own streaming service, Watchtower. DC has announced they plan release all future content exclusively on Watchtower.

Yes but is he writing a book?Yes he is in South Afrika IIRC
Yes he did, he did write the LOTR as technically is contemporary to the POD(ie before no unrestricted submarine warfare) so the idea of LOTR/Middle Earth Saga still happened, a flavour event was that the exile might have leaked into his works and he denied, saying all his inspiration came back his education and the great war. It was a flavor event in South Africa and Canada Gameplays, Dunno if is still thereYes but is he writing a book?
Übermensch: Kaiser's Sohn, is set in an alternate world where Clark Kent crash lands in Germany instead of Kansas and becomes a superhero in Germany. The Kaiser formally acknowledges Superman's existence by adopting him and appointing him as the heir apparent of the German Empire. This causes the United States, led by Lex Luthor to begin an arms race of superheroes to defeat Germany and its Übermensch. At the same time, Superman/Übermensch has to navigate court intrigue, Luthor's meddling, and existential threats whilst trying to do good and make the world safe.Awesome work here! Can you tell us who some of the actors are?
Also, what the plot for Übermensch: Kaiser's Sohn?
Does the Supergirl series have Melissa Benoist and Katie McGrath in it? And maybe Supercorp?Übermensch: Kaiser's Sohn, is set in an alternate world where Clark Kent crash lands in Germany instead of Kansas and becomes a superhero in Germany.
