* Earth-20, a [[TwoFistedTales pulp-style world]] featuring [[Comicbook/DoctorFate Doc Fate]] and the Society of Super-Heroes, who include Franchise/GreenLantern Abin Sur, Immortal Man, the Mighty Atom, and the Blackhawks.
* Earth-33, a.k.a. Earth-Prime, which is basically our world, with the reader being its latest superhero. [[spoiler:It's also the world of origin for the Gentry, who are designated as "Hostile Independent Thought-Forms" by the reader and his/her haunted comic book, Ultra Comics. The Gentry's creator, the Empty Hand also reigns here, as he is implied to be the personification of our real world apathy towards superheroes and comics in general who is still digesting the previous iteration of the Multiverse lost during ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}]].
* The other worlds of the multiverse include:
** Earth-0, the main DCU.
** Earth-1, the world home to the ''ComicBook/SupermanEarthOne'', ''ComicBook/BatmanEarthOne'' and ''ComicBook/TeenTitansEarthOne'' graphic novels. There is also a version of Wonder Woman living on this Earth.
** Earth-2, as featured in [[ComicBook/{{Earth 2}} the comic of the same name]], where younger versions of DC's Golden Age heroes arose in the modern day in the wake of an invasion from Apokolips.
** Earth-3, the MirrorUniverse of Earth-0, ruled by the Crime Syndicate of America; it was destroyed just before ''Comicbook/ForeverEvil''.
** Earth-6, the world now home to the stories from ''Comicbook/JustImagineStanLeeCreatingTheDCUniverse''.
** Earth-7 is already destroyed upon the arrival of Nix Uotan, but appears to have been a Marvel pastiche like Earth-8, below. However, pastiches of DC characters can be seen among the dead, so it's likely this Earth-was a mix-up in homage to the many DC and Marvel crossover stories. The guidebook confirms that it is (or was) the equivalent to Ultimate Marvel.
** Earth-8, a Creator/MarvelComics pastiche, for example featuring the [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Retaliators]] and the [[Comicbook/XMen G-Men]].
** Earth-9, the Creator/TangentComics universe.
** Earth-11, which includes [[GenderFlip female versions of the main DCU's heroes and villains, and male versions of its heroines and villainesses]]. This is a world where the Amazons of Themyscira had greater influence on society's advancement, to the point that women were given more freedom and helped shape Earth's future.
** Earth-12, the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'' world, currently in the era of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''.
** Earth-13, home to a dark, magical Justice League called the League of Shadows, including [[Comicbook/{{Etrigan}} Superdemon]], Comicbook/{{Hellblazer}} (based on the Batmanesque version from ''Comicbook/DoomPatrol'' #53 and ''Comicbook/BooksOfMagic'' Annual #3), and [[Comicbook/DoctorFate Fate]] (the 90s version with the ankh scar). The world is in a state of perpetual twilight, there are 13 months in the year, and 13 hours in every day.
** Earth-15, a perfect world that was destroyed by Superboy-Prime. All that's left is a Cosmic Grail that was hidden in another world.
** Earth-17, an Earth ravaged by atomic destruction. Humanity lives in domed cities, and the Atomic Knights of Justice are led by Adam Strange.
** Earth-18, a Western-style world featuring the Justice Riders, who ride on SteamPunk horses. On this world, the [[ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} Time Trapper]] froze the state of progression so that, even with many 21st Century based technological advances, society is still a frontier world.
** Earth-19, a world currently in the era of Edwardian England, home to the Bat Man, the Wonder Woman, the Accelerated Man, and the Shrinking Man. Bruce and Diana are based on ''Gotham By Gaslight'' and ''Amazonia'' respectively [[note]]Although those books have completely different UsefulNotes/{{Jack the Ripper}}s, so can't actually be the same universe. The finale to DC's ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' reveals that denizens from both worlds were present when the Multiverse was reformatted, causing the new Earth to combine elements of both[[/note]].
** Earth-21, the ''ComicBook/DCTheNewFrontier'' universe.
** Earth-22, the ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' universe.
** Earth-23, home of President Superman, where the world's greatest heroes are black (which can mean that they're black in the main DCU, as with Steel and Vixen; that a black holder of the legacy in the main DCU is Earth-23's primary holder, as seems to be the case with Green Lantern; that they're black versions of the hero, as with Superman; or that they're completely unique). The major exception is Batman.
** Earth-26, an AlternateTooniverse where ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew reside.
** Earth-29, the cube-shaped BizarroUniverse.
** Earth-30, the ''ComicBook/SupermanRedSon'' universe.
** Earth-31, a world ravaged by tsunamis and earthquakes, where modern pirates roam the seas. Captain Leatherwing and his crew of the Flying Fox act as a force for good.
** Earth-32, a world partially based on ''Batman: In Darkest Knight''. Bruce Wayne is Green Lantern, and fights alongside heroes such as Super-Martian, Wonderhawk, and Aquaflash.
** Earth-34, an ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' pastiche, home to the heroes of Cosmoville.
** Earth-35, a pastiche of Rob Liefeld's ''Extreme Studios'' comics, including [[ComicBook/{{Supreme}} Supremo]] and Majesty, Queen of Venus. The premier superteam of this world is the Super-Americans.
** Earth-36, a world home to a team called Justice 9, based off ''ComicBook/BigBangComics''.
** Earth-37, a world based off the works of author Howard Chaykin, such as ''Batman: Thrillkiller''.
** Earth-38, the world of ''Comicbook/SupermanAndBatmanGenerations'', where Batman and Superman debuted in 1938, aged normally, and had families.
** Earth-39, a world based off the works of artist Wally Wood, home to the [[Comicbook/THUNDERAgents Agents of W.O.N.D.E.R.]]
** Earth-40, an EvilCounterpart to Earth-20 where villains rather than heroes triumph, featuring ComicBook/LadyShiva, ComicBook/VandalSavage, Count Sinestro, Blockbuster, and Doctor Felix Faust as the Society of Super-Villains.
** Earth-41, home to [[Comicbook/{{Spawn}} Spore]] and [[ComicBook/SavageDragon Dino-Cop]], a world where so many heroes differ in terms of style and ideology, it's as if they were each dreamed up by individuals who had [[Creator/ImageComics specific images and ideals of their heroes]].
** Earth-42, home to chibi-like versions of the Justice League known as the Li'l Leaguers.
** Earth-43, which has a Vampire League and is home to the ''Comicbook/BatmanVampire'' Elseworlds trilogy.
** Earth-44, the world of the Metal League, a fusion of the Justice League and the Comicbook/MetalMen, led by Doc Tornado.
** Earth-45, an Earth where Superman as a concept became perverted and corrupted by mass marketing and turned into the hyper-edgy Superdoomsday, whom later went on a homicidal rampage killing the Supermen of other Earths before being stopped by the Superman of Earth-0 in ''ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsActionComics''.
** Earth-47, a world where TheSixties never ended, home to the Love Syndicate of Dreamworld and immortal teenage president [[ComicBook/{{Prez1973}} Prez Rickard]].
** Earth-48, the new home to Lady Quark and Lord Volt. A world bred as protectors of the Multiverse, where everything is a superhero.
** Earth-50, home to the Justice Lords from the DCAU.
** Earth-51, the world of Creator/JackKirby's DC creations.
* The guidebook covers 45 of the Earths, leaving 7 over for other writers to develop: 14, 24, 25, 27, 28, 46 and 49.
** In ''ComicBook/SupermanRebirth'' story "Multiplicity", Earth-14 is the home of the Justice League of Assassins. From what's seen of it, it looks to be an AfterTheEnd ''Film/MadMax''-style world.
** ''ComicBook/TheTerrifics'' revealed Earth-25 to be the home of ComicBook/TomStrong and other Creator/AmericasBestComics characters.
