Unlock the secrets held within the Map of the Multiverse as #DCAllAccess heads "Into The Multiversity" this week in an exclusive new clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haHSlGB3n7Kfrdk

[@sdelmonte]

Only Grant Morrison could do this. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is up to you. I liked the first issue. Lots of interesting bits and pieces and homages and Easter eggs. But will it lead anywhere? With Grant, you can never tell.

[@MrBillwulf]

So Apokolips is not just another planet in Earth Zero's universe? It's a realm that has access to all 52 earths?

[@rudechef1]

***** Apokolips is outside of the 52 universe's and there's only one Apokolips

[@RobGutro]

rudechef1 So maybe if all of the heroes of all the Earths get together they can finally get rid of it. I would love to see the DC universe without Darkseid or Apokolips for at least a couple of years. They're old and tired.

[@SeanSinclair821]

rudechef1 Wouldn't that also apply to the pantheon on gods that the Amazons worship? When Mercury gave Jay Garrick his super-speed in Earth 2, he said the rest of his pantheon had all been killed... so no Wonder Woman on any Earth can ever interact with them again?

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

Damn, just Damn. DC really went all out mapping the Multiverse instead of just winging it and saying... Yeah that's the whatever universe. They really thought this through

[@NapalmOmega]

I am a marvel fan. I recently got it to dc and it is amazing.

[@DechantMusic]

YES but it will also make you want to scream and bang your head on a wall at the same time.

[@funkydong5315]

Its a gift and a curse

[@brightsunsbatuu]

My...brain...hurts So apokolips isn't a planet it's a realm. And the Greek gods of earth prime are the same greek gods of other worlds. Does this mean that darkseid that attacked our world is the same darkseid that attacked earth 2. And the wizard shazam gave powers to all shazams of parallel worlds.

[@adamdobbs5345]

It's a realm that's shaped like a planet? And also there's only ONE for the whole multiverse? And there's separate realms for dreams and nightmares? WHAT

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

yes, as there is only 1 Darkseid, and all the gods are unique and doesn't have different versions of themselves in parallel worlds. So is the wizard. Apokolips is..... could be a realm with a single planet in it?? I'm quite confused as well, as the post flashpoint Apokolips is situated right next to New Genesis, both in a single universe. I don't know if they changed that or not.

[@brunofranco4416]

You are thinking in Three-dimensional terms. Grant Morrison tends to use four dimensions in his stories, so what we see is more akin to Alan Moore's Promethea, where the realms are devoid of proper space or time, and are actually made of our thoughts and imagination, rather than matter. Think of it as dream worlds inhabited by archetypes, instead of biological creatures like you or me.

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

Bruno Franco could be if these realms are exclusive to the gods themselves. There are multiple instances when mortals have accessed these worlds. I see them more like single dimesions, passing through the 52 universes. Always there, but not necessarily there.

[@brunofranco4416]

Maybe it will be explained in the next issues, r so i hope.

[@HITZZZZZZZZZZ]

I'm even more excited for Multiversity now and this was a nicely done video

[@hexum7]

Trevor Merritt One can assume that he is on earth X, (10) with the rest of the characters that originated in he quality comics universe

[@hexum7]

Trevor Merritt Yeah. I d t know why that characters beIng ignored. Though it just might be lack of interest on the part of creators right now

[@hexum7]

Trevor Merritt Is Ted even in the new52? I can't keep up with who does and who does not exist anymore

[@jakebryant3445]

Actually the perfect universe was destined in Countdown to Final Crisis.

[@dctribute9865]

[@lucigallagher5542]

Something more complicated than Doctor Who

[@HolyMarluxia]

For a newcomer like myself, this is hell. I just keep reading JL, Batman, Batman and Robin. I'm super lost.

[@dude2283]

ikr

[@cattameme]

This is really cool. It really puts the dc universe into perspective.

[@Bk_Lone1]

Yes there is only one darkseid in the multiverse dc has stated this at the start of the new 52 and it was said in his origin that he has met and killed multiple supermen.

[@cyriljuliandanojog6716]

And then at the back of this multiverse map, a pure black universe, the Dark Multiverse.

[@filipe_paixao]

Basically: a)One 3D Universe contains 3 spacial dimensions + time, the forth dimension. b)the 52, 3D universes, can only exist inside a universe whit 5 Dimensions (4 spacial + time), Basically a 4D Universe. c) persons of a 3D Universe can only travel to other different 3D Universes inside that 4D Universe, by forcing their entry or if there is a 5° spacial Dimension that enables that (think that each universe possesses a wall around it, so instead of destroying that outer shell, they can just teleport straight into the middle). All that is 6 dimensions if you count time as one. d)Outside that we have the God Sphere. How Big is it? Each realm is equal to all things before, so each one of them is a 5 dimensional universe, not counting time. that means the sphere of Gods is at least 6 dimensional, but to travel between them there's a need for a higher dimension so there's a 7 dimensional universe for them to travel between it. e)The monitor Sphere is outside the Gods Sphere, containing it. So it would be at least a 8 dimensional universe, but since it his probably much likely for them to travel there, then there is a 9 dimensional universe. f)Conclusion... There is 9 spacial dimensions in DC, exactly like string theory says, Plus a time, making a total of 10 dimensions if we consider time from the beginning of Marvel to ends of it. the *WALL* would be what separates the DC verse from other verses

[@bobf6721]

I love how some Earths are home to characters who are analogues of characters from other comic book companies who themselves analogues to DC characters. Grant Morrison sure knows how to bring on the meta.

[@knightwing4972]

thanks Tiff for the explanation of the map I just read multiversity it was a great ride can't wait for the next

[@Joshuadbr2]

Wow, wow, wow, and just wow! I need one of those maps! I can't believe you could explain that Tiffany. It must have been hard. This is the most entertaining KZbin video by DC Entertainment that I've seen in quite a while.

[@JamesReed1971]

Waiting for "Crisis On Infinite Earths New 52 Version" that will destroy all earths but one and reboot the entire DC Universe once again!

[@rokane2]

Kyle Rayner made it through the Source Wall and lived. Though everyone but Carol and the New Guardians think he is dead.

[@projection9771]

Thanks! Great job :)

[@Turbine68]

I want that poster it really brings everything together and now I want to know whats beyond the fifth dimension.

[@AriesWarlock]

This video was informative. I only knew of Marvel's multiverse.

[@qawsedf234]

Marvel has an omniverse or an infinite number of universes while DC has a multiverse or a finite number of universes.

[@legoweirdboy]

This was really helpful. But I'm still not sure about one thing: did flash change everything shown in the map during flashpoint or just earth 0?

[@bubisdead8776]

thanks for the explanation, even though it was a lot of info to take in, I think I have a decent understanding.

[@ivandelgado6180]

Question: Where does The Presence, Barbatos, Empty Hand and Dr. Manhattan fit into this map??, can't place any of those 4 in this multiverse

Where can we get that map of are own

[@ciejroyal1]

Awesome vid. Im letting this finish before i get into it. I love reading story arcs all in one go. Imo tho i must complin i really liked jonn jonnz in the justice league more than ccyborg but theres room for both? The idea of another alien on the roster that can even possibly stop superman i like more but from the character stand point that cyborg is the JLs intel just like manhunter was then i get it...love DC ftw

[@denzeldarius9617]

I recently just got into DC Comics. I've been a Marvel fan for a long time. Can someone explain what happened before the New 52 in terms of the "crisis" and the whole Monitor shenanigans

[@Ghazibeeb123]

before the new 52 an event happened called flashpoint i recommend reading it and/or watching the animated movie but they are not exactly the same

[@Darkerthanblack247]

would take an essay to explain it all, just KZbin or google history of the crisis in the dc universe, lots of videos out there explaining it. but new52 had nothing do do with a crisis, just the character flash altering the timeline by going back in time and saving his mom from dying. if you got the time watch the animated film justice league flash point paradox, pretty much explains it all

[@brunofranco4416]

I know this is going to get really confusing, but bear with me, i'll try to explain everything: In the beginning there was the Overmonitor, a cosmic beign who found the DC multiverse. He tried to study it by sending a part of himself, called the Monitor, inside it, but as the stories grew more complex, he was infected with new ideas, causing his evil version, Anti-monitor, to be born. The Anti-Monitor caused the crisis on infinte Earths, witch led to the destruction of all realities save for one, and the death of both Monitor and Anti-monitor. From their deaths new monitors were born, this time with diferent genders, ages and races, one for each of new 52 Earths. These new monitors built a city called Nil, and became addicted to the power of the bleed, witch is the essence of the multiverse. Some even became cosmic vampires like Dax Novu and Rox Ogama. One of them, Nix Wotan, seeking to safe-guard the cosmos, eliminated all monitors but himself and was reincarnated as a human in Earth-0. Just as he planned, the New 52 happened, and thats were Multiversity begins.

[@CK61938]

All you need are the following: Crisis On Infinite Earths Infinite Crisis Final Crisis Flashpoint Once you have read those, then get started on Multiversity. :)

[@leonardo.muricy]

Bruno Franco you've made a bit of a confusion there. The new monitors and 52 earths only happened on the infinite crisis, about 20 years after the original Crisis. This one actually ended with only 1 Earth on the multiverse, being that a mixed version of the last 4 Earths of the multiverse.

[@RoqueRoqitzYanez]

I have to be nicely inebriated to comprehend Grant Morrison's writing. Loved his JLA run.

[@TheStanStanmanson]

Wait, that also means marvel has to be one of those universes! They have had cross overs before, and it was so simple for krona to cross dimensions, so it must be close

[@thickmclargehuge4448]

the source and the source wall have been written about before the new 52, so that's not new, but that is a nice map. I wonder if one of the unknown or ? worlds holds the old dc continuity universe

[@deanchristensen4783]

This made the pre-Crisis of the Infinite Earths multiverse concept understandable, it made the Joker's mind understandable, it made Batman versus Superman understandable and that was seven different scripts put together by a blind monkey with Parkinson's. Hell, this made talking to a valley girl from the 80's understandable!

[@pbj2300]

the anti monitor from crisis of infinite earths was the best out of the anti monitors from the DCU comic books

[@jeanlukvolker5130]

Since there are an infinite number of vibration frequencys, that still should mean that there are more than 52 earths like there are obviously more than 52 sounds that exist due to sound frequencys

[@jeanlukvolker5130]

There are millions of sounds, millions of radio frequencys, and millions of vibration frequencys. From one Hertz to over 1,000,000,0 and up

[@jeanlukvolker5130]

Combine equations of the twelve dimensions, the vibration frequency equation, all information on the multiverse, and other sources, put it together. Then design a device to cause high level powerful vibration frequencys to occur so that you can open up a breach to enter other universes

[@Zethonring23]

Apparently this is how it works; in the old model there was an infinite number of parallel universes, but since the new 52 there are 52 universes, but also parallel worlds and alternate timelines within each universe, so just about any kind of story could still be told. Even if someone at DC were to create an earth that doesn't pertain to any of the 52, they could just set it in world 37 for example, in a parallel universe with an alternate timeline so it could be completely different.

[@RestAndLetGo]

How much do you want to bet that Earth 26 is Teen Titans GO!

[@Galactusperson]

No, it's home of Captain Carrot and the Amazing Zoo Crew.

[@revan0890]

Was any one else getting motion sickness watching this?

[@icedevil2002]

There is a few things wrong with that map or at least what I see. New Genesis and apokolips are planets, not versions of heaven and hell. They are supposed to exist in every universe but differently. The source wall is also supposed to exist in every universe.

[@AyatoKaminaKun]

incorrect. the beings from new genesis and apokolips are gods. darkseid has fought multiple versions of superman and other heroes in other universes. There is only one and he tries to dominate ALL universes and realities.

[@AyatoKaminaKun]

and you cant just think of the source wall as a wall that emcompasses the universe like its some ball surrounded by a wall. The source wall seperates ALL OF REALITY (every alternate universe) from the source of al creation (the source)

[@shadowwalker1]

Could this mean return of all the Dc Universe from the early days to current and could it mean return of HyperTimne an more?

[@ayyubi1235]

[@FreedomRollers]

Uh I think the Phantom Zone is known as LIMBO which is on the map just above Underworld and not Underworld itself. I see 8 limbos on the map, perhaps each one refers to specific ones , like one is The Phantom Zone, while another is the Ghost Zone, Still Zone, Buffer Zone, Stasis Zone, Honeycomb, Limbo and Hyperspace because limbo in the comics have been referred to as all these names but most thought they were the same place ...until now...
