Movie series order

The new Batman and Justice League movies all take place in the same universe. Following them, you would usually go with the release date for a timeline. But I don't think that's accurate this time. If you go by release date order, the movies would be:

Justice League: War
Son of Batman
Batman: Assault On Arkham
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
Batman vs. Robin
Batman: Bad Blood
Justice League vs. Teen Titans

However, if you think about it, once you throw Damian into the equation, that order doesn't make much sense. Batman is still going solo during Assault on Arkham, then is taking care of Damian during Son of Batman and Batman vs Robin. At the end of Batman vs Robin, Damian goes to stay with the monks, during which time Batman joins with the Justice League for War and Throne of Atlantis. Damian then comes back during Bad Blood, after which he too joins the Justice League and then the Teen Titans in Justice League vs Teen Titans. So the REAL timeline order goes:

Batman: Assault on Arkham
Son of Batman
Batman vs. Robin
Justice League: War
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
Batman: Bad Blood
Justice League vs Teen Titans

Good thinking with the exception of including Batman: Assault on Arkham in this continuity. It's separate, it belongs to the "Arkham" continuity of the video games (Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, Arkham Origins Blackgate, Arkhman Knight).

Yeah, I know, but I felt Arkham could fit in with the continuum as a prequel. Had the same makers too.

Apparently though, as I recently found out, Throne of Atlantis has a deleted scene where Batman sends Nightwing and Robin to catch Scarecrow after he was called away for Justice League duty. I just find it strange that there's no hint of Damian at all during War or Throne of Atlantis if he was there. Nightwing not being present I get because he's a grown man off doing his own hero thing and helping with the Teen Titans, but Damian's lack of presence just seems weird, which is why I thought the order I presented made sense since it offers an explanation for his absence.

In the deleted scene you mentioned in "Throne of Atlantis", do you know who is Robin when Batman sends them to apprehend the scarecrow? I was wondering if it was Damian that could connect it to the other films. Thanks!
