Starting in 2013, the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse includes adaptations of DCU characters into a [[SharedUniverse shared movie universe]]. Confusingly, in November 2022, it was announced (for the first time) that the official name of the DCEU would be The DCU, raising many questions among fans as to what the full DC Universe as described on this page should be called.

* CrossoverCosmology: The Greek Pantheon, via Wonder Woman show up most often. DC is also home to Kirby's Fourth World which in modern storylines is considered the replacement of the old pantheon. The [=DC=]'s version of Myth/NorseMythology played a prominent part in Creator/NeilGaiman's ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' and in other stories. It is far more mythologically accurate than that of the ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'' (for instance Thor has red hair, Loki is Odin's brother). Incidentally the earliest appearance of Thor in DC was drawn by Creator/JackKirby before going to Marvel.

* AmusinglyAwfulAim: There's a minor villain called Mr. Terrible, who is an EvilCounterpart to Mr. Terrific. While Mr. Terrific represents the pinnacle of human perfection and is incredibly skilled at any activity you can imagine, Mr. Terrible is the exact opposite. Everything he tries to do turns out bad. Case in point: In one issue of ''Villains United'', he attempts to kill someone by throwing a knife at them. He was aiming for the head - it hit them in the leg.
