DC Universe is a 2018 Retool of DC Comics following the official dissolution of the DC Rebirth name.While publishing wise the titles and numbering that were started by DC Rebirth are being continued, narrative wise several titles are receiving a soft overhaul as a result of events in Dark Nights: Metal and Justice League: No Justice.For series published and storylines begun during DC Rebirth refer to that page here, though titles overhauled as part of the brand or series connected to ongoing Rebirth titles but published after the Rebirth title officially being ended will be covered here.For the New Age of Heroes which was also meant as follow up on Dark Nights: Metal refer to that page here as DC solidly established that as its own group of titles. It also takes place after Doomsday Clock, depicting the DC Universe once again altered by Doctor Manhattan, but this time with the Justice Society of America and the Legion of Super-Heroes restored to reality, combining the histories of the New 52 and Post-Crisis into a bold new world with new adventures abound.

Alternate Company Equivalent
 DC Universe (Comic Book) / int_200c8312
comment
Alternate Company Equivalent: Hawkman serves as one to Wolverine. Both are empowered by metal with unusual properties, seek out memories of their forgotten past, and are essentially immortal in different ways. Plastic Man comes across as one to Deadpool. Both seek to make amends for their criminal past, have a Sad Clown facade to cope with their own self-loathing and are ultimately morally complex while acting like an uncaring jerk. Very blatant in issue #2 of the mini-series where he makes pop-culture shout outs and even breaks the fourth wall.

Mythology Gag
 DC Universe (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: In an Ultimate Universe-like fashion, the Justice League title draws on a mixture of influences from the comics (Cyborg and Martian Manhunter as members of the League), Justice League (John Stewart and Hawkgirl as members of the League while Hal Jordan is absent), and Superfriends (the Legion of Doom as the main enemies, Sinestro's uniform being the one from that show).

Background Magic Field
 DC Universe (Comic Book) / int_649b0880
comment
Background Magic Field: The Legion of Doom's plan is to harness seven hidden forces that are accessible now that the Source Wall has broken. It's also noted that the forces are interconnected to each other. These consist of: The Invisible Spectrum, aspects of the Emotional Spectrum used by the various Lantern Corps that is based on emotions that are usually suppressed by others. It manifests as the Ultraviolet light that seems to be powered by shame and causes those that wield it to be controlled by a sentient black sun called Umbrax . Word of God has it that there are other types as well. The Still Force, an inverse of the Speed Force that normally fuels the power of speedsters. As such, it can disrupt Speed Force powers and slow others down.

Put on a Bus
 DC Universe (Comic Book) / int_754df088
comment
Put on a Bus: Tempest, Lilith, Bumblebee, Beacon, Nobody II, and Aqualad are all absent, while their teammates are still active. Though Beacon and Nobody II manage to make a cameo at the end of The Terrifics #25 and Aqualad eventually gets recruited for Young Justice. Jon Kent is no longer present as a result of the events of Man of Steel (2018). Subverted when Brian Michael Bendis' Superman brings him back...as an older teenager.

Open Secret
 DC Universe (Comic Book) / int_8077793f
comment
Open Secret: The existence of Sanctuary. It isn't widely known about (Green Arrow doesn't know of it when Roy Harper mentions it) and most of the superpowered community doesn't know it even exists, but those aware of it don't have compunctions about bringing it up to those who aren't. It seems to be more of a private location where those needing help are sent on an as-needed basis rather than an outright secret.

Broken Pedestal
 DC Universe (Comic Book) / int_868409c
comment
Broken Pedestal: Following the invasion of the Dark Multiverse and the Source Wall breaking, the Justice League has been subjected to this. Formerly ardent supporters and stalwart allies have come to see them as nothing but flawed and ineffectual, while before they were Earth's first line of defense against the unknown. Green Arrow, who was almost driven to tears at being offered membership in the League, outright tells them that Waller's belief that they've been cleaning up messes that they caused is absolutely correct. On a smaller level, there is Damian Wayne and Wallace West in Titans who have both grown tired of the flaws that their mentors have and form a new team to do things their own way.

comment
There Are No Therapists: So very much averted. Sanctuary is a place created explicitly to help superpowered beings and costumed vigilantes cope with the traumas of their unique lifestyles. Even if Sanctuary itself leaves a lot to be desired...

 DC Universe (Comic Book) / int_99dfd4fc
comment
Nothing Is the Same Anymore: The very nature of the DC Universe was altered by the Source Wall breaking at the end of Dark Nights: Metal. Seven hidden forces can now be accessed, magic has begun to fail, an entire new sector of space was basically created during the events of No Justice, Broken Pedestal is now in effect on the Justice League, etc.
