Superman’s first appearance in Action Comics #1 (1938) proclaimed
that the character would “reshape the destiny of the world.”
The advent of the first superhero initiated a shared narrative–
the DC superhero universe– that has been evolving in depth and
complexity for more than 80 years. Superman, Batman, and Wonder
Woman have become key threads in the tapestry of the American
mythos, shaping the way we think about life, right and wrong, and
our relationship with our own universe. Their narrative world is
enriched by compelling stories featuring lesser-known characters
like Dr. Fate, the Doom Patrol, John Constantine, and the Legion of
Super-Heroes. Stories set within this shared universe have explored
questions of death, rebirth, the apocalypse, the nature of evil,
the origins of the universe, and the destiny of humankind. This
volume brings together the work of scholars from a range of
backgrounds who explore the role of theology and religion in the
comics, films, and television series set in the DC Universe. The
thoughtful and incisive contributions to this collection will
appeal to scholars and fans alike.
