Linear Thinking
The timeline presented here differs slightly from that
presented in Zero Hour #0 and includes
information presented in the various Secret Files
comics. It aims to present the "core" DC timeline and
does not take Hypertime into account.
THE TIMELINE IS
CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REVISION
History of the DC Universe
The history is divided roughly into Eras reflecting specific periods in
modern DC history. The majority of the events are reflected in newspaper
headlines, many based on Daily Planet headlines that have appeared in various
comics over the years. The history presents the information as a typical
resident of the DC Universe would be aware of them.
- Golden Age: the first
appearance of modern-style super-heroes in the form of the
"Mystery-Men" of the 1930's and 40's

legendary heroes like Superman, Batman, and the original Justice League

Earths, Legends, Invasion - and other events in that period
