Then why is Timothy Hunter a kid again in the new Books of Magic series? IIRC, he was an adult (18 years old?) at the start of the Hunter: The Age of Magic series.

What's confusing you exactly ?
And yes Zero Hour Braught back the Multiverse. Otherwise can you tell me what event/story did bring it back ?
No, The Dark Knight Returns isn't a general story that implies the whole DC Univers.
To me only Hellblazer/John Constantine/Lucifer, Swamp Thing/Animal Man and The Watchmen has been merged into the DC Universe because they were the only Vertigo characters to appear during the New52/Rebirth Reboot.
But anyhow, DC recently announce that the Vertigo Label was going to be over.
I think it's just a lot to take in. It's the long list with little detail about what each story was. I'll need time to digest it and look up what some of those events were, since I have no clue on anything in the last 15-18 years.
I have no idea. That's why I started this thread to ask these things.
I read tons of DC comics from the early '90s to early '00s, and there was only a single DC Universe that entire time. Vertigo was its own thing, Elseworlds were considered "imaginary stories" (aren't they all?), but the DC Universe was THE DC Universe. The return of the multiverse happened after I stopped collecting comics, and I started not long before Zero Hour.
Edit: Just looked back over the thread, and Restingvoice said, in the second post of the thread, "Infinite Crisis was when they brought back the concept of Multiverse". The Wikipedia entry for that story seems to agree with this.
I didn't realize your Elseworlds list was just supposed to be company-wide type things. I thought you were going for the biggest Elseworlds-type stories that got the most attention and were most highly regarded, which would explain why you included Kingdom Come, but made me wonder why you left out Dark Knight Returns.
Well, they're publishing new stuff based on Sandman and Books of Magic now, and BoM seems to have been rebooted, which has me confused.
