The DC Animated Universe (DCAU, also referred to as the Timmverse or Diniverse by fans) is a shared universe centered on a group of animated television series based on DC Comics and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. It began with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 and ended with Justice League Unlimited in 2006.[1][2] The associated media franchise also includes theatrical and direct-to-video feature films, as well as shorts, comic books, video games, and other multimedia adaptations.
The DC Animated Universe has received acclaim from critics, being lauded for its storytelling, voice acting, animation, and maturity, with several of its shows listed among the greatest animated television series of all time.[3][4] It has also influenced the mainstream DC Comics in various ways, such as introducing new characters, revamped backstories, and character designs.[5]
