 ABOUT THE DCU GUIDE

The Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe or DCU Guide for short was established in 1996. It began as the Unofficial DC Index Series focusing on comic book indexes, but soon branched out to include character profiles, chronologies and more.

For over two decades it has been an encyclopedia filled with Who's Who profiles on characters, places, organizations, and events in the DC Universe as well as character chronologies and series indexes.

 CANON AND CONTINUITY

The DCU Guide treats the history of the DC Universe as a single continuous chronology. Over the years, reality-altering events have revised this history, adding or removing certain events from continuity. However, for each new timeline to become a reality, the events leading up to it had to happen.

More recent changes have undone some of these timeline manipulations, restoring reality to what is described as its "proper configuration." This version of continuity is not identical to any single past timeline, but instead blends elements from several of them.

Because of this, we treat characters as the same throughout the history of the DC Universe unless their revisions are too drastic to reconcile. In some cases, even when a character's earlier history has been reinstated or retconned into their current version, there may still exist two distinct iterations of that character.
