2023 saw the conclusion of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, a further exploration of the Dark Multiverse, though it did not have the same impact on continuity the original Crisis had. The Infinite Frontier is over; Dawn of DC is here.
Jim Lee is promoted to President in May. He had been Chief Creative Officer since Geoff Johns' departure in 2018 and sole Publisher since Dan DiDio's departure in 2020.
