History of the DC Universe (Update 2020!)

[Bored at 3:00AM]

Since the official history of the DC universe looks like it’s going to take a little longer to get straightened out thanks to the latest corporate reshuffle, here’s my own fully illustrated version, freshly updated and tweaked for your viewing pleasure. It’s an attempt at chronicling the entire publishing history of the DCU across all continuities, spanning all media from the comics, TV, and movies, as if it was all one continuous story.



These images give you the broad overview of how the timeline works in terms of the Trinity. For the more detailed breakdown, I will link to the Google Docs for each era. Feel free to offer suggestions or tweaks. I use this history for my more superhero-obsessed students, so any ideas for improvements are always welcome. Thanks.
