1 Prologue

Many users believe the DC Multiverse has only 52 universes...this is simple untrue. Furthermore many have no understanding of Hypertime and its relevance to DC canon. This blog was partially inspired to be written after seeing countless comments of users discrediting the battle between the demon Trigon and the 5D Imp Mr Mxyzptlk as non-canon due to the event taking place in the Injustice timeline.

2 Description

Hypertime is construct consisting of self-generating timelines that result from various choices that individuals make or do not make. Each timeline births a different universe.

3 Structure

Below is the DC Map of the Multiverse...it might be hard to read some of the words but hopefully this link should help you see better.

Source Wall

Monitor Sphere

Sphere of the Gods

Orrery of Worlds

4 Outside the Multiverse

While the DC Multiverse itself is quite complicated, there are beings (or rather many beings) that exist outside of it as one singular entity of itself...these include New Gods, Hell Lords, Monitors, Archangels, 5D Imps and conceptual abstracts.

Characters who reside within the DC Multiverse may have alternate versions of themselves in a parallel universe i.e. Batman and Superman.

This means there are no alternate versions of Darkseid that happens to not be evil or another Bat-mite roaming around DC Cosmology

6 Canon vs Non-Canon

When distinguishing what's canon or non-canon within a DC fictional reality, it should only be from the perspective of the character not the reality itself. This is due to some characters having the ability to travel between universes.

For example Mr Mxyzptlk
