Figuring out the new Multiverse

[MajorHoy]

If you're more familiar with Marvel, think of the current Earth One as DC's Ultimate line, except so far all the stories are solely happening in graphic novel format, no individual comic issues. So Earth One is not based on nor relies on any previous and existing other timelines/universes/anything...it's just its own thing.

But will Superman: Earth One and Batman: Earth One be set on the same Earth? Will one get mentioned in the other?

[Tandaemonium]

I think so, yes, that they will be set on the same Earth, or I don't think they'd even bother adding "Earth One" in the title/treatment. I don't know if Superman will be mentioned in Batman: Earth One, or similar, though. It's possible, though.

[AdamYJ]

Because we love superheroes.

I love superheroes too. I also love chocolate cake. If I consume too much of either though, I don't feel too good. I just think it's a waste to have a multiverse and not utilize it for a little genre diversity.

Of course, people will be all like, "If you want stuff that's not just superheroes, why bother us with it on a DC board when DC's main business is superheroes?" And I'll be all like "I try to read stuff from other publishers but navigating the independents scene is a lot harder than it looks."

Is Mutiversity still a go?? I am sure it is, but also bet there will be some updating to his original plans...
I think there will still be the Watchman/Charleton Heroes Earth, The Earth where Nazis won WW II, the 90's heroes earth, and also the pulp Earth ( Doc Fate, The Batman)... I think Thunderworld maybe put back since Shazam just restarted in the Justice League Books.

[Melfice]

Yeah what happened to the First Wave Earth? I really liked the idea of the whole pulp theme and stuff

I think Morrison has enough clot for them to overlook the Thunderworld. However, I doubt that ThunderWorld will be explored past the one-shot.

I believe Thunderworld is one of the few Multiversity books being worked on right now (Cameron Stewart is the artist on it). I don't see why DC would dump the concept anyway. Despite the reworking of the Prime Earth Shazam, there is no reason for there to be only one version of Captain Marvel.
That's why we have a Multiverse in the first place.

Why do people always group Watchmen with the Charlton heroes on a single Earth?

The Charlton heroes may have been a basis used for what eventually became Watchmen, but they're two separate concepts. DC specifically said they could NOT use the Charlton heroes, and Watchmen are getting their own, separate Before Watchmen line of books.

Sorry to hear that, but I can never consume too much superhero.

I hear what you're saying, though. Seems like there will be pretty much unlimited opportunities for all genres in this new Multiversity. I'm sure you'll end up getting lots of choices, hopefully.

The way Morrison is setting it up, the Charlton heroes on Earth-4 are being updated in a way where they partially resemble their Watchmen counterparts. Case in point, Captain Atom:

Oh, joy. Another reason to avoid Morrison.

WOW. That's pretty terrible.

[doordoor123]

What about that new all girls universe book written by Jimmy Palmiotti?

Just please God, tell me that skinny blue runt is strictly an alternate universe Captain Atom, and will never be used as the Prime Earth one.

[Comet Man]

Sounds like a great universe to read about, as long as they're superhero girls, and not the girl next door.
