Earth One
This alternate reality was spun off after Infinite Crisis and should not be confused with the “Earth-1” of Silver Age stories. On this Earth we get to watch as superheroes emerge for the first time into an unsuspecting world via a series of full-length original graphic novels by superstar creators.
The new origins are surprisingly not an all-new spin on the stories or simply a modern update of the characters, with the exception of Teen Titans. Each solo hero’s adventures have been devoted to capturing the essence of their origins with a few distinct pivot points to ground the stories more in reality, like baby Superman’s ship being spotted by the military or Wonder Woman being completely disoriented by the human’s world.
By contrast, Teen Titans presents a much more connected team of youth’s discovering their powers in the spirit of X-Men rather than a group of sidekicks, which would make much less sense on this hero-lite Earth.

Earth Two (pre-Crisis)
Prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths, “Earth Two” referred to DC’s Golden Age characters and continuity, largely held separate from Silver Age incarnations and acting as the continuing home to the vintage Justice Society of America.
Most of those Golden Age characters had been retired between 1956 and 1961, but began to reappear in classic infinite earth crossover stories in Flash (1959). Eventually, they were given their own series in All-Star Squadron.
Note that this section does not cover any original Golden Age Earth Two stories – only Earth Two stories after the split of those characters from the main DC reality at the start of the Silver Age.
As I encounter more Earth Two stories and collections, I’ll continue to add them here. Feel free to leave a comment if you’re aware of one I should add!

Earth 2 (New 52 Era)
New 52 introduced a completely new version of the Earth, though some characters with familiar names remained (i.e., Jay Garrick as Flash, Alan Scott as Green Lantern).
In the New 52 Earth 2, DC’s trinity of Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman have been defeated, leaving a power vacuum in Earth’s defense against super-powered villains and extra-terrestrial invaders.
Explored first by the history-mining James Robinson and then by Tom Taylor hot off in Injustice, this Earth could approach more controversial story beats than the main continuity – whether that’s killing heroes or recasting them with new demographics. It also spun off a Huntress and Power Girl back into DC’s main continuity.
Earth 2 #1-32 & Annuals 1-2 (2012 – 2015)

Imaginary Stories
Prior to the codified idea of Infinite Earths, DC had the convention of telling “What If” style tales in the regular runs of books like Action Comics or Detective Comics. These were known as “Imaginary Stories,” and acted as a sort of proto-Elseworlds. While they aren’t comprehensively collected, DC has issued two volumes:
DC’s Greatest Imaginary Stories: 11 Tales You Never Expected to See!
DC Greatest Imaginary Stories, Vol. 2: Batman & Robin
Elseworlds
In 1989, DC created the Elseworlds imprint under which they could publish out-of-continuity stories, mini-series, and original graphic novels. The concept was introduced by the Victorian-era tale Batman: Gotham by Gaslight in 1989, that original release did not bear the “Elseworlds” imprint. The imprint wound down in 2003.

Inter-Company Crossovers
DC/Dark Horse Crossovers
DC’s crossovers with Dark Horse are unique in that Dark Horse Comics is not a single, unified comics universe – it’s made up of many different licensed characters and worlds. While some of them seem to have found a permanent home at Dark Horse (Hellboy, Madman), others based on outside media properties (Aliens, Predator, Tarzan, Terminator, etc) could eventually depart for other publishers as Star Wars did in 2015.
