DC Comics

## Summary

DCU. Short for the Detective Comics Universe. DC is a company that publishes many of the most popular comic book characters and franchises, such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the JLA, etc.

The DC Extended Universe, popularly referred to as the DC Cinematic Universe (DCCU), is a film franchise and shared universe that is based on characters that appear in publications by DC Comics. It is Warner Bros.' counterpart to the Marvel Cinematic Universe produced by Marvel Studios.

## Power of the Verse

This verse is one of the most powerful comicbook franchises. It has several universal and Multiversal beings, as well as higher-dimensional entities. The Dark Knight Trilogy was a Batman movie trilogy that was based on Batman's orgins as Gotham's hero and his battle to save the city from criminals and the League of Shadows led by Ra's Al'Ghul.

Vertigo takes this further, with its God Tiers being inferred beyond-dimensional beings. Finally, the series has two tier 0 supreme beings.

While far weaker than its comicbook counterpart, and only having five films and therefore not having much time to display feats, the DC Extended Universe is still a rather formidable verse. Superman, as well as other Kryptonians and Wonder Woman, and high tier Atlanteans are currently at very least Island level to Country level (the former is capable of shifting a tectonic plate and the later defeated Ares, who is comparable to Zeus, who created an island with his dying breath).

However, after being revived by the Mother Boxes, Superman gained Multi-Continent level AP due to the Boxes' power of reshaping entire planets to their liking, making him possibly the strongest character in the verse so far.

The most powerful characters have Relativistic+ combat speed and reactions, with the Flash easily topping that, having at least Relativistic+ and possibly near lightspeed travel and reaction speeds, due to him time-traveling via closing on the speed of light.

Suicide Squad introduced a number of lower level characters, as well as The Enchantress, who brought hax such as planetary-range teleportation, mind manipulation, including dream and illusion Manipulation, and body possession to the verse.

However, the verse is still fairly recent, so it is likely that it will end up significantly growing in power over the following years, with movies such as Justice League introducing plenty of other superheroes, Apokolips, and the New Gods. Plans for a movie adaptation of The Sandman also exists, which could potentially boost the verse's Tier to higher levels.

## NOTES

Because of the multiple variations of the DC Comics and universes, to avoid confusions, it is important to label each profile by their respective verse, example (New 52, New Earth, Prime Earth, Pre-Crisis, DCEU, DC Animated Universe, etc.) If a faction did not exist in any of the original works and was first created, that is an exception.
