DC Comics was founded in 1934 as National Allied Publications , before becoming one of the two giants of American comic books. The 1930s and 1940s saw the emergence of icons who would leave their mark on world history: Superman (1938), Batman (1939), and Wonder Woman (1941). These heroes defined a new type of modern mythology: the superhero. The DC Universe has grown richer over the decades with complex characters, dark narratives, and a highly recognizable urban aesthetic. Comics, animated series, films, and expanded universes have contributed to making it a pillar of global pop culture. Today, the DC Universe continues to inspire artists, creators, and fans alike thanks to the richness of its characters and its timeless epic scope.
