Introdction[]
DC Comics has a massive cosmology that is complicated and misunderstood. The purpose of this blog is to be a comprehensive collection of info and to to teach the cosmology of DC Comics. Refer to the map of the multiverse for a rough idea of what the cosmology of dc looks like.
The Material Realms[]
The Universe[]
The Universe have many statements of being finite in size but are more consistently infinite in size. The universe also have statements of containing higher dimensions. The Cathexis homeworld is six-dimensional. Quantum Superman observes an eight-dimensional Mobius loop within the universe. Universes contain 11 total spatial dimensions.
The Local Multiverse[]
Most people thing there are only 52 universes in the local multiverse, but that’s confirmed to be a misconception, and there are actually infinite universes. Every decision spawns a new reality.
Higher Dimensions[]
As previously started dc has statements of containing 6, 8, and 11 dimensions. The dc multiverse contains infinite parallel worlds (parallel dimensions) and infinite dimensions. Quantum Superman explains the transcendence between each dimension, proving each dimension inaccessibly transcends the last. There are an infinite amount of dimensions, with each dimension being a world beyond a world beyond another world and so on.
The Bleed[]
The bleed is a blood red space that contains all of the universes of dc and all dimensions of dc. The Bleed is accessed normally by moving through higher dimensions to reach it. It's the connective tissue of the multiverse (local multiverse specificity). It's a space that separates the parallel universes.
Orrery of Worlds[]
The orrery or worlds is a sort of casing over the bleed and local multiverse. It contains and surrounds the Bleed.
The Speed Force and Speed Force Wall[]
The speed force is the kinetic wall between the present and the time barrier. It exists in every universe, dimension, and era. It's the cause of motion within the entire universe. The speed force gives speedsters their powers. The speed force wall separates the local multiverse from hypertime. The Speed Force Wall is also the boundary for the Bleed, which means that for one to be faster than light, you'd actually have to move at a speed beyond dimensionality itself.
The Timestream[]
In the Timestream, timelines are malleable, interactable objects. The Timestream contains the collective field of Time.
Jungian Archetypes[]
The JLA are archetypes/symbols created by the collective unconscious . Dorothy's imaginary friends are described as archetypes born of her unconscious, so they are jungian archetypes. Jungian archetypes are defined as universal, archaic symbols and images that are born from the collective unconscious, as proposed by Carl Jung. They are the psychic counterpart of instinct. According to Jung, the collective unconscious contains archetypes, or universal primordial images and ideas. The JLA and Dorothy’s imaginary friends match the description of being archetypes/symbols born of the collective unconscious so they are jungian archetypes Superman, batman, and wonder women are called archetypes. The JLA founders are archetypes. The multiverse is archetypal. Jungian archetypes are beyond all catergories of space, time, and numbers.
The God Sphere[]
The god is a sphere that surrounds and is beyond everything we mentioned so far. Everyone in the god sphere is an archetypal being. It’s a a realm made entirely out of the light of possibility, and formed while Creation had not even finished forming. The sphere of gods contains fictions within it. The God Sphere contains all spiritual and godly power within the Multiverse. It’s the true source of magic’s power. Magic is the fundamental power of creation and belief in the Multiverse and is tied into every aspect of existence. The new gods are platonic concepts. Gods are jungian archetypes.
Dream/Collective Unconscious[]
Nightmare[]
Heaven[]
Not to be confused with the Thirteen Heavens of the Skyland, Heaven is the the home of the Presence, his angles, the Spectre, and several bibicle creatures. It is the Silver City. It is beyond space and time. Heaven contains platonic shapes. There are infinite heavens.
Hell[]
The afterlife for those who committed grave sins, it’s made of multiple mythological/religious realms known as hell, tho the biblical Hell is the main one. Powerful demons and fallen angles like Nekron and Azazel call this realm home. There are infinite hells.

The Elemental Realms[]
The elemental realms are the Green, the Red, the Grey, the Rot, the Clear, the Melt, the White, etc. The Green touches all realms and spaces,even metaphysical realms. The Green is stated to be timeless by Swamp Thing. The Green is the collective unconsciousness of all plant life. The Red connects all animal life. The Red is a mesh of Platonic Forms. The Red is a placeless place and is timeless. Animal masters used the red to recreate creation and even the Source.
