The DC Character Chronologies is an effort to catalog every actual appearance by every character and team in the DC Universe, and place them in their proper chronological order. Or in the case of crossover events all crossover issues.
Due to reality-altering events like Crisis on Infinite Earths and Flashpoint, some characters' histories have undergone significant changes. Each era of a character's history may have its own chronology, presented either as separate pages (with an era designation like '(Pre-Crisis)' in the title) or as sections within their individual pages. If most of a character's continuity remains part of the current canon, even with some adjustments, the aim is to consolidate their entire chronology on a single page.
Chronology entries are listed alphabetically by the character's name, followed by their real name. Generally, the most common version of the name is used (e.g., Dick Grayson instead of Richard John Grayson). Names are listed in the standard order: first name followed by surname.
Characters who are primarily known by a single name and a title, such as Mister Bones and Queen Hippolyta, are listed under the first letter of their titles (M for Mister, etc.).
Gods and characters that do not have a known secret identity but belong to a group might have the group name noted in brackets after the character name to distinguish the character from other similar named characters.
In some cases the entries will also have a comic age/timeline/Earth indication.
