First off, this is absolutely great. That said, there was something about it that was nagging at me, and I couldn't quiet put my finger on it until just now.
It's intensely Trinity-centric. You get the odd intruder here or there, like Flash and Parallax (and usually tied to some watershed event, i.e. Dr. Manhattan), but everything else frames DC's history strictly in terms of the big three and their auxiliaries.
Was that a deliberate choice?

These images are meant to visualize how the timeline has been altered in order to its current “15 years ago” status quo.
This is focused specifically on the evolution of the non-Trinity heroes
My students were collectively outraged that I had forgotten to include Justice League Action in the Multiverse group pic, so I have updated it to include it. Enjoy.
I'm just going to bump this thread up for no particular reason.
Maybe a lot of this might be somewhat relevant very shortly.

Obviously, DC isn't retaining Superman & Batman's Golden Age adventures as I have, but, otherwise, it appears that DC is taking the same approach to their history now.
Things that make you go hmmm.

They burgled you, Bored.
Thank you, but I don't believe there was anything underhanded going on. I honestly think DC came to the same solution that Morrison came up with for DCU continuity a long time ago and just decided to go with that because the "everything happened, it's all canon" approach towards continuity is the only one that makes any kind of sense if you want creators to have the largest possible canvas to use moving forward.
