comment
Earth One is a series of graphic novels released by DC Comics that was started in 2010 with Superman: Earth One. Like the All-Star DC Comics before it, Earth One is DC's counterpart to Marvel's Ultimate Marvel line (though a more direct comparison would be Season One). Unlike All-Star however, it follows the Ultimate line more closely by being a modernized reboot of The DCU in a new continuity as well as all of the books having a Shared Universe as opposed to being a series of unrelated miniseries in their own continuity. It retells the origins of various characters such as Superman and Batman, often re-interpreting and modernizing them as well as putting new twists in.Graphic novels set in this verse are: Superman: Earth One by J. Michael Straczynski Vol. 1 (2010), art by Shane Davis Vol. 2 (2012), art by Davis Vol. 3 (2015), art by Ardian Syaf Batman: Earth One by Geoff Johns, art by Gary Frank Vol. 1 (2012) Vol. 2 (2015) Vol. 3 (2021) Teen Titans: Earth One by Jeff Lemire Vol. 1 (2014), art by Terry Dodson Vol. 2 (2016), art by Andy McDonald Wonder Woman: Earth One by Grant Morrison, art by Yanick Paquette Vol. 1 (2016) Vol. 2 (2018) Vol. 3 (2021) Green Lantern: Earth One by Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman, art by Gabriel Hardman Vol. 1 (2018) Vol. 2 (2020)

Age Lift: Jimmy Olsen, normally a teenager, is older than Superman. Conversely, Lucius Fox, normally a middle-aged man, is younger than Batman.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Much more so than the mainline DCU. Krypton's destruction was a deliberate act of war, Superman's more angsty than other portrayals and is distrusted by the public, Bruce Wayne isn't as skilled as other versions and is originally solely concerned with bringing in the man he believes had his parents killed to justice, Alfred is the family's bodyguard (not their butler) and encourages Bruce to kill, Jim Gordon is a reluctant Dirty Cop, Diana is a Child by Rape between Hercules and Hippolyta who originally kept Diana for the purpose of enacting a war against all males, Starfire is the source of several Titans' powers thanks to STAR Labs (led by Cyborg's villainous mother) experimenting on them, the Green Lantern Corps is already gone by the time Hal Jordan gets his power ring—though things improve on that end thanks to Hal, Hal himself is more jaded and cynical, and the last Guardian is insane.

Related in the Adaptation: Bruce Wayne is part of the Arkham family from his mother's side, Rita Farr (now Rita Markov) is Tara Markov's mother though not biologically related, General Zod is Superman's uncle, and Wonder Woman is the biological daughter of Hippolyta and Hercules.

Shared Universe: All of the books take place in the same verse, with some minor nods to each other. (There was some initial uncertainty as to whether Teen Titans: Earth One shared the continuity of the others, but it was confirmed to in The Multiversity.)

Adaptation Name Change: Rita Farr becomes Rita Markov by Related in the Adaptation. Viktor Markov is Will Markov. Etta Candy becomes Beth Candy. And most importantly, General Zod's name goes from being his last to his first as he's Zod-El, Jor-El's brother

Clothing Switch: Superman's call signal becomes a searchlight with his seal on it! Just aim at the sky and presto. Batman's call signal becomes a small pager he gives to his pal Gordon. It has a single button so he can just buzz Batman if need arises.

comment
Decomposite Character: The male Luthor and Harvey Dent aren't this universe's version of Lex Luthor and Two-Face, but combined with Gender Flip, their respective wife and sister are. Abin Sur in this continuity is already long dead by the time Hal Jordan comes across him and obtains his power ring, with Kilowog instead being the one to give Hal Jordan exposition on the Green Lantern Corps and how the power ring works. While Sinestro eventually becomes affiliated with the Yellow Lanterns, he is no longer the founder, that role instead going to the last Guardian.
