The tone for many of the books in the Dawn of DC was inspired by Mark Waid and Dan Mora's Batman/Superman: World's Finest, along with Tom Taylor's Nightwing series.

In July and August 2023, the Knight Terrors event, headed by Joshua Williamson with multiple tie-in mini-series by various creative teams, took over the publishing line.

The initiative began in January 2024 with creators Jason Aaron and John Timms for the story arc I, Bizarro in Action Comics #1061-1063.
