With the ever-growing success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it can be said that Warner Bros. is very much interested in having a successful DC Cinematic Universe as well. However, a recent rumor claims the company is aiming to go even further with its plan.
Instead of fleshing out a mere cinematic universe, Warner Bros. is hoping to bring forth the DC Cinematic Multiverse. What's that, you ask? Well, instead of just a single universe, there will be more than one, with an Earth similar to the one Superman and Batman comes from.
So far, Marvel only has a single universe with several galaxies, but Warner Bros' rumored plan for DC is more extensive and could be quite confusing if not done properly. It is one of the reasons why DC comics are so confusing for many readers, due to the overreaching multiverse concept.
