New 52

With the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was reset. At this point in time, a brand new world was introduced to this new multiverse. This world was Earth 2 and it contained a cast of new characters inspired by the characters from DC’s Golden Age. 

The stories from this world were mostly told through the Earth 2 series. The only major exception is the Worlds’ Finest series, which went on to tell the stories of Power Girl (Reading Order) and Huntress (Reading Order), two refugees from the Earth 2 reality who were stranded on Prime Earth. Later on, these series would converge with the Earth 2: World’s End weekly series. This weekly series cumulated with the Convergence (Reading Order) event and then went on to form the Earth 2: Society series.
