13:30 Jae Lee's art is ABSOLUTELY underrated. Its dreamy and three-dimensional form is absolutely gorgeous and unmatched. My favorite use of Lee's art is in "Before Watchmen: Ozymandias", with the drawing perfectly representing Adrian Veidt's complex personality.
I swear you're everywhere especially on MiriDawn videos.
Speaking of Earth-43, the Red Rain Trilogy is one of the most bizarre, but yet fascinating Batman stories ever written. Both the plot and the art make me feel I am inside a fever dream I want to live in. It's pretty amazing the plot in which the Joker becomes the Lord of Vampires even though he NEVER is turned into one of them, not to mention the way the Trilogy concludes with Vampire Batman peacefully passing away after finally making Gotham a safe place to live in is one of the best conclusions the caped crusaders had in his story
One of the best explanations of DC multiverse I've ever watched!
Also, thanks Grant, you absolute legend.
*Standing Ovation*
Thanks for uploading!
Wait a minute, if Earth-8 is populated by DC versions of Marvel characters, does that mean what I'm thinking?
Gunn is about to have a field day at DC studios 💯
@@tommyr.2741 What I meant was that Marvel and DC might share the same multiverse.
@desrochessimon3044 Oh gotcha, in that case they absolutely do. They confirmed this in 1995 with the Green Lantern Silver Surfer Unholy Alliances. The two traveled as far out into deep space from there universes that the two actually crossed eachother and it's been confirmed that they are solar systems away since then. Gunn said a Marvel and DC crossover is more possible now then it's ever been with him being the new CEO of DC Studios. I'm really hoping they use this comic plot. 💯🤞🏻
@@tommyr.2741 Perhaps DC's Earth Prime (AKA Earth-33) could be the same universe as Marvel's Earth-1218.
@@desrochessimon3044 That's actually super clever. I didn't even think of that but it would be super meta and fit in perfectly.
My good man you deserve a standing ovation. For this simple yet in depth breakdown of the DC multiverse. I've always were intrigued by the Earths with question marks. Earth-20 Earth-23 Earth-5. Would definitely love to hear more about them. 👍🏽
hey, so you wanted to hear more about the earths, well here you go
1)Earth 5 is actually Shazam's earth!!
Originally Shazam, his villains and all his supporting cast were characters that belonged to fawcett comics,
his original name was captain marvel! (because shazam is the word that transforms him back and forth between billy batson and captain marvel, he can't just say it)
he was so famous that his comics were out outselling superman comics back in the 40s
DC eventually did file a lawsuit against them, because there were several similarities between captain marvel and superman.
it is the most famous lawsuit in comic history. the trial was also pretty long, hence captain marvel being out of print for a while. Eventually DC won the lawsuit. hence captain marvel being out of print for even longer. (you will find several videos covering the lawsuit on youtube, if you wanna check it out)
By the 1970s Fawcett went bankrupt and was bought by DC comics.
Now that they owned Shazam they decided to start telling stories with him (ironic indeed)
but where will these stories take place?
also what about the earlier stories published by fawcett comics?
they were reprinted and also fans remembered them
well dc had a multiverse,
so they just placed not just shazam but all of fawcett comics characters on earth 5
and also the stories published by fawcett all happened on this earth
and the new adventures being published by DC would happen here too.
We don't really know anything about earth 20, we do know that earth 20 (society of superheroes) had a five year war with earth 40 (the society of supervillains), also even though it is modern day on earth 20, the aesthetics and social atmosphere is of the 1920s. That's all we know and nothing else regarding these 2 earths. it hasn't really done anything else.
Earth 23 is home of Calvin Ellis superman or president superman
This superman is the president of United states
His creator Grant Morrison has confirmed that that this superman is based upon Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali, a "combination" of both.
He is also the leader of "Justice incarnate" (the multiversal justice league made up of members from different earth, their base is located in house of heroes)
our (Main continuity) flash [ barry allen] is a member and represents earth 0 (Main continuity) on the team.
we don't know much about this earth, even if this earth's superman leads the multiversal justice league. (Justice Incarnate was created in 2015 by Grant Morrison, only has 2 stories regarding them I think, "multiversity" [2015] and infinite frontier [2021] both written by Grant Morrison) (Earth 23 however was created during final crisis [2007] once again written by Grant Morrison)
We do know that all heroes are african-american on this earth.
And the lex luthor in this universe was killed during infinite frontier (2021) while working for darkseid and his whole multiverse conquest plot.
I know that was a lot but Thank you for reading!
and I hope that it helped❣
@@ankurdesai8370 One detail to mention: DC originally put the Fawcett characters on Earth-S. One of things they established is that on Earth-S Captain Marvel was a more effective superhero than Superman and on Earth-One Superman was more effective than Captain Marvel.
Due to "Crisis on Infinite Earths" the five remaining Earths (1, 2, 4, S, and X) were fused into one, with their characters and histories folded together. When the DC Universe was rebooted in "Infinite Crisis" a multiverse of 52 identical universes were created. At the end of "52" the Earths in that Multiverse were altered to be unique. Earth-5 was modified to be similar to the original Earth-S. I think they chose to call it "Earth-5" because "5" was similar in shape to "S", just like they named the new "Earth-X" "Earth-10".
then let's flip the map over
*shows black background*
and this is Dark Multiverse, every nightmare, every thinking that could go wrong has world there, they are doomed to be destroyed but yet they exist
I think limbo would be a dope concept for gunn to explore. If the characters become aware that they're fictional characters it could be a cool way for him to bring back characters and actors that got lost while things got shifted at dc studios.
I really appreciate this video,, because it is taking about details that no one is talking about... Thank you so much and much respect form middle east
Isn't one of the universes supposed to be the REAL WORLD where the super heroes are all fictional? They hinted at that with "Limbo".
Earth 33
@@tykross IF its literally the "real world" then it would be the same compared to all fictional universes? There would only be ONE.
Originally Earth-Prime was supposed to be the Real World where superheroes only exist in fiction. A few times they did a story where some DC heroes travelled to Earth-Prime and met the editors and writers at DC Comics.
They eventually altered it where Earth-Prime is a world identical to the Real World except that it has a child from Krypton* who came to Earth and lived on Earth without superpowers. When his powers finally activated he left Earth-Prime and fought in "Crisis on Infinite Earths."
*In the Earth-Prime Universe Krypton didn't explode, it fell into its sun. Kal-El's parents used a teleportation device to sent their sun to Earth. They were going to follow him but the teleportation device was destroyed by a fellow scientist. The child was found in New York City by Jerome and Naomi Kent who named him Clark despite the teasing he'd get for having the same name as a superhero (his mother wanted to name her first son Clark, she didn't know she'd be marrying a man named "Kent").
I need that thank you this helps me.
Excellent overview of a DC Multiverse. It was good they released a comprehensive layout to make things clear. There is on thing they should have mentioned: This Multiverse is just one of many Multiverses. To me, instead of having just one disc there should be a stack of discs reflecting each of the Multiverses DC has had.
As an example, the first disc would contain the original DC Multiverse introduced in the story "The Flash of Two Worlds." The next disc would contain the Post-Crisis DC Universe which would contain multiple timelines that are called Hypertime. Each time DC reboots the Universe/Multiverse it creates a new disc containing its own Universe/Multiverse. That way, it can reflect the entire DC Continuity.
Very informative.
Keep these longer vids coming
Do you guys have a viewing order too? I want to do a deep dive into the DC movies and series (both live action and animated) and try to make a viewing order myself, but that is a huge and difficult task.
For the animated movies I started with everything after Justice League Unlimited to present day, then backtracked (Superman Doomsday ‘07-Justice League: Warworld), (Mask of the Phantasm-Brainiac Attacks ‘05)
Thanks a lot for this detailed Video. However, one question remains: Who is the most powerful god? The Presence, or the Overmonitor, or someone Else? And if x or y is- was it always? This discussion never stops since the parrot introduced us to his video.
What a good taste in music you have 👍
The multiverse is such a good creation..theres something about DC that just does it for me
Do a separate video to talk about MARVEL multiverse too.
That video would be hours long.
@@TREBORisMEnot necessarily.
It should be the same concept as this multiverse, just with Marvel characters.
Thank you for this video, but isn't this map now considered outdated? Like for example there are forces other than the speed force like emotions and magic...
Is there not infinite universes in DC?
Ys
Yes there is as of dark crisis the infinite universes have returned
@@godslayer8894There were infinite universes before dark crisis.
That was before crisis on infinite earths, after crisis only one remained. then 52 happened, giving us 52. Then new 52 was just the previous 52 universes exactly the same, the only changes happened to earth 0.
Then we found out that below the multiverse exists the dark multiverse. It is made from universes that were not supposed to exist, usually they were destroyed after they were created but now they just keep pilling up below the multiverse and boom dark multiverse.
Now as of dark crisis, we found out that the original multiverse before crisis is actually dead and below the multiverse, they even renamed it to multiverse 2
Now we know there are multiple multiverses, and the comics multiverse is a "local" multiverse, with 52 universes and the pre crisis multiverse dead below it.
As for the dark multiverse, it is not just below 1 multiverse because all earths it has are ones which were never suppose to exist, its basically a big junk pile.
There was before the Crisis on Infinite Earths
The video was both educative and entertaining
So if the avengers wanted to invade the JL these would be the obstacles the avengers would need to go thru before getting to the JL
Brother Power the Geek has been waiting in limbo for years.
Niceeee
I have a question please,, is there any other multiverses for DC?? Where I can find it's details?
There are multiverses within the DC Omniverse. However we have not seen a direct example of it, it’s only mentioned that there are more out there.
The only real one we have seen is the Dark Multiverse which is under the Local Multiverse.
@@thefvguy5648 Okay that's make sense,, thank you so much my friend
@@Superlad945
Amazing,, thank you so much for the info 🌹🙏
@@Superlad945 do recommend a specific story from that earth? I prefer batman stories or magic related or the JL stories.
i wish someone would make this video for marvel
Why only ancient gods of earth? Do other planets not have ancient gods? Also man limbo sounds like the worst punishment. Worse then Hell itself.
Technically all mythologies manifest themselves into existence in the sphere of the gods.
Yeah I think they established Rao, the sun god of planet Krypton, was also in Skyworld
You neglected to mention the Negative(or Dark) Multiverse, positioned on the flipside of the Multiverse...
Which numbered Earth houses the DC characters and histories from the ending of Crisis On Infinite Earths up to the beginning of Flashpoint. This is the “New Earth” universe. It is the universe I invested 20 years of comic book collecting. It took into consideration most pre-crisis Batman stories and pre-crisis New Teen Titan stories. It was mostly erased by The ending of Flashpoint and what was carried over condensed into 5 years of comic book time. These characters were hinted as continuing on in the pages of Convergence. Many of these Batman stories supposedly still live on post-Flashpoint where the Court of Owls continues the Batman’s long history albeit with a Prime-Earth Batman. So where does the New Earth and the New Earth Batman reside? Can DC comics win back long time readers with a series of titles from the New Earth universe? DC lost me as a weekly reader after The New 52 only to have me occasionally checking in on the Caped Crusader via some of the Post-Flashpoint trade paperbacks. Court of Owls is a great addition to the Batman mythos but how did the New Earth Batman experience the Court?
well New earth was the name used by the central universe (Dc's main continuity) before prime earth.
After Flash point, the name was changed to prime earth. there isn't a universe called new earth out there. it was just a name being used by the main continuity, before crisis on infinite earths it was named earth one. if you want a numerical designation. it is earth 0.
before crisis it was named as earth one, after crisis as new earth and after flashpoint prime earth. after the next reboot it may change the name.
Could you suggest me some other Multiversity-like comic? I know it's a unique masterpiece but I love DC multiverse!🦸
True yggdrasil concept plz
Kinda sad you didnt give a passing mention to the rock of eternity's reflection, the rock of finality, where within the seven heavenly virtues are imprisoned.
Google Maps could never monitor this
What about Perpetua and the Hands? Do they live in th shepre of gods or are they outside the multiverse ?
So I googled it and it says this is Earth 1218 the earth where no heros exist. But last time I checked my history I'm aware of myself being the one and only batman. Is Google right?
Awwwwww... so nice to make a ideo about me. :)
Oh... wait.....
;) ;)
Is this voice over AI or is that how talk?
this sounds like text to speech
this video would be so good without the ai voice, i cant sit thru two minutes of it tho
First
Wait a minute, I thought Grant Morrison is Non-binary.
Kinda boring actually.
Eh what's the DC Multiverse? A dumpster fire of artists retconning stuff because they wrote themselves into a corner.
