Wonder Woman, First Superhero of the DC Universe- Breaking Down the First 25 Years of the New DC Timeline (UPDATE)

Bleeding Cool put up the new DC Universe Timeline shown off at the DC Nation panel at New York Comic Con earlier today. It caused quite a fuss. Especially at DC Comics who didn't realise this might happen quite so fast, I'm told. Anyway.

And we got a closer look at each of the Generations. Such as Generation 1, representing the first twenty-five years.

Now we had to do a lot of squinting. But we have Wonder Woman as the DC Universe's first superhero, emerging at the same time Krypton explodes and Superman is sent to Earth, crashing in Smallville. It's is notable that this now happens before World War II. DC Comics has lost the five-year timeline, the ten-year timeline, the fifteen-year timeline and we now go back eighty years. We see the forming of the likes of the JSA, the Freedom Fighters, the All-Star Squadron but, Watchmen style, the government bans superheroes in the mid-fifties. Superman is a lot older, working as a superhero, while Bruce still had both parents….

This is what we have so far for Generation 1. Feel free to help fill in some of our 'xxx' spots and tell us what we got wrong. An update will no doubt follow. UPDATE – the morning made a few things clearer.
