The concept of a shared universe in comics involves writers and editors, together with artists, who together create a series of titles where events in one book would have repercussions in another title and serialized stories would show characters grow and change. Headline characters in one title would make cameo or guest appearances in other books. This idea was strongly developed in the Marvel Universe in the early 1960s, and seen also in other publishers in recent years, but it was pioneered by the DC Universe and in particular by writer Gardner Fox.

The leading heroes of the DC Universe were originally (in the 1940s) known as the Justice Society of America and their exploits were published in All-Star Comics. In the 1960s, this concept was revamped in the book named the Justice League of America. The DC Universe typically has its comic books set in fictional cities, such as the twin cities of Gotham City (based upon New York City) and Metropolis (based in part upon Toronto, though like Gotham, it also serves as a New York City analog in the comics). These cities were effectively fictional archetypes of cities, with Gotham City embodying the negative aspects of life in a large city, and Metropolis reflecting more of the positive aspects. The presence of superhumans affected the cities, but the general history of the fictional United States was similar to the real one. The Justice Society of America, or JSA, is a team of fictional superheroes whose adventures have been published by DC Comics. ...

Over the years as the number of titles published increased and the volume of past stories accumulated it became increasingly difficult to maintain internal consistency. In order to continue publishing stories of its most popular characters, maintaining the status quo became necessary. Retcons were used as a way to explain apparent inconsistencies in stories written. Look up Status quo in Wiktionary, the free dictionary Status quo is a Latin term meaning the present, current, existing state of affairs. ...
Retroactive continuity – commonly contracted to the blend retcon – is the adding of new information to historical material, or deliberately changing previously established facts in a work of serial fiction. ...
Multiple versions of the same characters
Over the course of its publishing history, DC has introduced different versions of characters, sometimes presenting them as if the earlier version had never existed. For example, they introduced new versions of the Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman in the late 1950s, with similar powers but different names and personal histories. Similarly, they had characters such as Batman whose early adventures set in the 1940s could not easily be reconciled with stories featuring a still-youthful man in the 1970s. To explain this, they introduced the idea of the Multiverse. In addition to allowing the conflicting stories to "co-exist", it allowed the differing versions of characters to meet, and even team up to combat cross-universe threats. The writers gave designations such as "Earth-One", "Earth-Two", and so forth, to certain universes, designations which at times were even used by the characters themselves. In DC Comics, the Multiverse is a continuity construct in which multiple fictional versions of the universe exist in the same space, separated from each other by their vibrational resonances. ...
Editors at DC came to consider the varied continuity of multiple Earths too difficult to keep track of, and feared that it was an obstacle to accessibility for new readers. To address this, they published the cross-universe miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985, which merged universes and characters, reducing the Multiverse to a single DC Universe with a single history. However, this arrangement removed the mechanism DC had been using to deal with the passage of time in the real world without having the characters age in the comics. Crisis also had failed to establish a coherent future history for the DC Universe, with conflicting versions of the future. Zero Hour in 1994 gave them an opportunity to revise timelines and rewrite the DC Universe history. Crisis on Infinite Earths was a twelve-issue comic book limited series (identified as a 12 part maxi-series) and crossover event, produced by DC Comics in 1985 in order to simplify their fifty-year-old continuity. ...
A future history is a postulated history of the future that some science fiction authors construct as a common background for some of their stories. ...
Zero Hour was a weekly comic event miniseries/crossover published by DC Comics in the summer of 1994. ...
Meanwhile, DC had published occasional stories called "Elseworlds", which often presented alternate versions of their characters. For example, one told the story of Bruce Wayne as a Green Lantern, another presented Kal-El as if he'd lived in the time of the American Civil War. In 1998, The Kingdom reintroduced a variant of the old Multiverse concept called Hypertime which essentially allows for alternate versions of characters and worlds again. The entire process was parodied in Alan Moore's meta-comic, Supreme: Story of the Year. A fictional concept presented in the 1998 comic book series The Kingdom, hypertime is both a catch-all explanation for any continuity discrepancies in DC Universe stories, and a variation—in fact, a superset—of the Multiverse that existed before Crisis on Infinite Earths. ...

Concepts
 A few of the many characters in the DC Universe. Art by George Perez. The basic concept of the DC Universe is that it is supposed to be just like the real world, but with superheroes (and supervillains) existing on it. However, there are other differences. Many fictional countries, such as Quraq, Vlatava, and Zandia, exist in it. The United States also contains many fictional major cities, like Metropolis or Gotham City. In addition, many events that changed the whole political stage of the World have taken place in recent years, from Lex Luthor being elected as President of the United States, to entire cities (and even some countries) being destroyed.

The majority of the superhumans on Earth owe their powers to the "metagene": A genetic feature of unknown origin, which lies dormant near the brain of ordinary civilians, causes some people to develop super powers when exposed to dangerous substances and forces. Others owe their powers to magic, genetic manipulation or bionics (see below). A large power gap resides between Superheroes and Civilians, making superheroes almost god-like. Some civilians become Superheroes, or god-like but most reside without powers and use their own ways to scheme. Most of these characters start off as a weak character who obtain power instantaneously through triggering the Meta-gene or any other method. Still others owe their powers to not being human at all (see races, below). There are also many heroes and villains who possess no powers at all but make do with advanced technology or training in special skills, such as martial arts. Metahuman is a term, coined by the fictitious alien Dominators (in DC Comics Invasion! miniseries), used to describe any human being with what are commonly described as super powers. The justification for this alternate phrase is that super implies a value judgement—is super-strength somehow better than normal strength...

The tradition of using costumed identities to fight crimes (or commit them) started mainly during the 1930's, with heroes like The Sandman. By 1940, the first Superhero team, The Justice Society of America, was formed. During World War II, all of America's heroes were banded together as the All-Star Squadron to protect the United States from the Axis powers. However, due to a magical spell cast by Hitler (using the Spear of Destiny and the Holy Grail) the most powerful heroes where unable to enter Axis-held territories, leaving the war to be fought mainly by normal humans such as Sgt. Rock. After the war, under pressure from the paranoid Committee on Un-American Activities the JSA disbanded. While many types of heroes were active afterwards, it wasn't until Superman's public debut that a new generation of costumed heroes became active. Soon after, The Justice League was formed, and they've remained Earth's main superhero team; most DC heroes (such as the Teen Titans) have either belonged to the League at some point, or have connections to it. The Sandman, alias Wesley Dodds, is a comic book superhero in the DC Comics universe, best known for his stories set during the 1940s and his costume consisting of a green business suit, fedora, and gas mask. ...

Superheroes are generally accepted by the general public, with some (such as Superman and The Flash) actually having museums dedicated to them. The governments of the world have long realized that they must deal with the "metahumans" in some way. Years ago an organization called "The Dome" was formed to help superheroes who needed to fight crime across international borders; the superhero group called the Global Guardians were their main agents. However the Dome eventually lost its United Nations backing to the Justice League. The Flash. ...

The American government has had a more untrusting approach, however. Back during World War II they started "Project M" to create experimental soldiers to fight in the war, such as the Creature Commandos. Most of these experiments remain a secret to the public. Currently, the government deals with metahumans and similar beings through its Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO). Covertly, they use an organization of costumed (but non-superhuman) agents known as "Checkmate". The government also formed Task Force X (known as the "Suicide Squad") for "black ops" mostly using supervillains blackmailed into helping them. Checkmate is a covert operations agency created from the ashes of its predecessor group, The Agency, which was originally set up by Amanda WaIler to serve as a small, quasi-independent branch of Task Force X under the command of Colonel Valentina Vostok (formerly Negative Woman of the Doom Patrol...

Supervillains sometimes also form their own groups, but these tend to be short-lived due to the fact that most villains simply do not trust each other. Most such teams are formed by a charismatic (or fearsome) criminal mastermind for specific purposes; an example is the Secret Society of Super Villains of which there have been several versions. Most villain teams are usually small (formed of individuals who know each other personally) or have some other reason to stay together (mercenary groups like the H.I.V.E., fanatical cults such as Kobra, etc.) The current Secret Society of Super Villains. ...

Robots and Andriods have superior technology because they are created as sentient beings. The Manhunters, Red Tornado, Robotman, Hourman and Metallo are a few among the many andriods who use technology from outerspace, different timelines, and Earth. Some characters create their own technology to enhance their armor or modify cybernetic functions like Steel, Cyborg and the Cyborg Superman. Individuals possess vast intellect like the scientist Professor Ivo who has the ability to create super-human androids such as Amazo using a form of Nano-technology developed by Lexcorp.

Hidden Races: There are a few intelligent races living on Earth that the public at large did not know about until recent times. Among these are the last survivors of Atlantis, who changed themselves into water-breathing forms, including the human-like Poseidonians and the mermaid-like Tritonians. There is also a tribe of highly intelligent, telepathic gorillas living in an invisible city hidden in Africa; this is the home of Gorilla Grodd. Telepathy from the Greek τηλε, tele, distant, and πάθεια, patheia, feeling, is the supposed ability to communicate information from one mind to another, and is one form of extra-sensory perception or anomalous cognition. ...

Aliens: There are many intelligent extraterrestrial races as well. Curiously, a large number of them are humanoid, even human-like, in form; some can even interbreed with Earth humans. Some of these races have natural superpowers, but they're usually the same for all individuals of the same race, unlike Earth's metahumans. This unusual situation has never been explained well. However, there are also plenty of nonhuman races as well.

Supernatural Creatures: Magic is real in the DC Universe, and there are several types of supernatural creatures, such as:
- Gods: The first beings calling themselves ‘gods’ first appeared billions of years ago on another planet, but they destroyed themselves in a terrible war. This unleashed the “Godwave”, a wave of cosmic energy from The Source. This gave birth to other gods across the universe, including Earth’s. From the planet’s remains were formed the worlds of Apokolips and New Genesis, inhabited by beings that call themselves “New Gods”. It must be noted that this universe was created by an omnipotent being known as “The Presence” which is believed to be the creator-being described by many religions, including Christianity. Also, beings calling themselves ‘angels’, such as Zauriel (see below), have appeared, thought they seem little different from the mythological gods. Depending on the characters, other diverse religious deities from ancient cultures are common. Heroes such as Aztec, and Black Condor or villians like the Black Adam have found knowledge of their native roots in origin.
- Heaven and Hell: Heaven and Hell does exist in the DC Universe but may not exist in the same continuum. Versions vary from the Vertigo and DC Universe series because the Vertigo/DC Universe use them in relation to religion and mythology while the writers in the DCU have a tendency to narrate fantasy.
- The Lords of Order and Chaos: These two groups of magical beings have been fighting against each other since the beginning of time, and they often empower others (with "Order Magic" or "Chaos Magic") in exchange for their acting as their agents. Many magical heroes and villains have been manipulated by them.
- Elementals: The Earth itself has a living spirit called "Maya" who, for millennia, has been creating champions, one for each of the mystical elements, to protect itself, using human beings as their hosts. Swamp Thing, Firestorm, Naiad and Red Tornado were some of them.
- Homo Magi: a subspecies of humanity with the natural ability to use magic, this race almost disappeared after too much crossbreeding with normal humans (it's from them that people in the DC universe inherited the ability to use magic.) The last pureblooded ones decided to retire to a magical invisible city centuries ago, and are now known as "The Hidden Ones". Zatanna had a Homo Magi mother, and knows many of the race's secrets.
- The Endless: Physical manifestations of eternal and universal phenomena that effect the human condition such as Death, Desire, Dream, Despair, Delirium, etc, principally recounted in the Modern Age Sandman series.
- Wizards and Sorcerers: Various sorcerers lurk in the DCU. Dr. Fate, Circe, the Wizard Shazam, Mordru and Felix Faust are written as characters who use sorcery to create and destroy. Dimensions, rituals and spiritual realms are sources for magic power as seen in Ras Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit and the transformations of Captain Marvel.
- Demonic Entities vary from the Demon Etrigan, to Blaze, Satanus and Neron. Demonic entities are abundant and come from Hell although some like Eclipso, the vengeance demon (also referred to as the Prince of Darkness), reside on the Moon. Some references of Jewish mythology in DC Comics arise, such as Belial being Etrigan's father but most have given scenerios of heaven and hell. Demonic Entities from Wonder Woman comics are directly linked to Greek Mythology such as Hades, and Ares. In the Vertigo worlds, characters like John Constantine oppose Demons of Greek Mythology such as Satan and Gabriel, the Fallen Angel. Most Demons are not however directly linked to Demonology.
Time Travel: It is possible to travel in time in this universe by several means, including moving faster than the speed of light. The Legion of Superheroes from 1,000 years into the future in particular have access to time-travel technology. Originally, it was impossible to change the past, or to exist in two places at the same time (a time traveler appearing in a period on which he or she already existed would become an ineffectual, invisible phantom while there). However that was all changed after the Anti-Monitor tried to change history at the beginning of time during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Also, a number of alternate realities- known as Hypertime- now exist. A group calling itself the Linear Men formed to prevent anyone from changing history. In addition, an enormously powerful being called the Time Trapper, an enemy of the Legion, has been known to mess with the time stream, even creating "pocket universes". Within the DC Comics Universe, the Source is the non-religion-oriented equivalent to God/Goddess/Jehovah (etc. ...

Balance of Power Power is greatly exaggerated in the DC Universe. The super humans have a greater action oriented tie than the humans and unknown cosmic entities. They have hidden lives and adventurous personalities. Most importantly, strengths and weaknesses have stayed the same. Living as a superhero has its inconsistencies, like Superman's vulnerability to magic and kryptonite, Green Lantern's ineffectiveness to the color yellow or Batman's lack of powers. Although Batman's gap in power make up for his misgivings with a keen intelligent mind and the Vertigo series have beings that relate better to civilian life. The narration of the mystic and harsh dark reality is more common in DC's Vertigo comics because its stories lurk outside of superhero fantasy.

Outcasts are usually evident in super-villiany as well. Villians with meak powers contrive schemes of extroadinary complexity, yet because of their lack of powers their plans are equal to simple criminals in order to call attention to heroes like Batman, and Flash. When caught, any prison sufficient enough to contain these villians are suitable.
