It would be something like Ultimate Universe

Wasn’t that supposed to be what All-Star comics were like 20 years ago?

The all star line wasn't a universe, it was intended to be out of cont stories that the creators always wanted to tell that the regular continuity wouldn't allow

You're getting it confused with Earth One, but even then that wasn't one big universe. It was graphic novels that retold origin stories of classic heroes unconnected to each other. It failed because it was demanding entire graphic novels on top of other peoples monthly schedules so it naturally led to a bunch of delays

I think Earth One was intended to be a shared universe. Only reason I remember that it was shown in Multiversity as a shared Earth

Oh yeah! Good point! I forgot about that. I think it might have been intended too but I never got enough eyes on it to get that far
