DC Animated MU* uses a simple system to divide highly popular heroes and villains from less well known and infrequently used characters. This system breaks down as follows:
 
<br><br>
 
<br><br>
'''[[:Category:Tier 1|Tier 1]]''': A city's principle guardian, and their archvillain, along with iconic DC staples.  Examples of Tier 1 characters include Batman and the Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, and the Flash.
+
'''[[:Category:Tier 1|Headliner]]''': A city's principle guardian and their archvillain, along with iconic DC staples.  Examples of Headline characters include Batman and the Joker, Superman and Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, and the Flash.  Staff reserves the right to append these list, and note Headline chars will by definition have the most alt-crossover, often with entire rogues galleries or organizations of their own.
 
<br><br>
 
<br><br>
'''[[:Category:Tier 2|Tier 2]]''': Prominent, popular villains and capes. Always skilled and/or powerful, these are iconic heroes in their own right, and little truly separates them from the most popular Tier 1 characters. Many prominent heroes and villains fall into this category. Examples of Tier 2 characters include Nightwing, Robin, Zatanna, Harley Quinn, Aquaman, Bane, Metallo, and Mr. Freeze.

'''[[:Category:Tier 4|Support]]''': Support characters without a major career in either the hero or villain roles will fall into this category. They may also be exceptional in any number of ways, but their main purpose in life is something other than wearing tights and doing good and evil. Examples of Tier 4 characters include Alfred Pennyworth, Jim Gordon, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Linda Park, or Vicki Vale.  These characters do not count towards alt quotas.
'''[[:Category:Tier 3|Tier 3]]''': Less well known and less exposed heroes and villains, these characters may be exceptional in their own right, but will typically be more minor characters than the Tiers above them, at least outside their own circles.  Examples of Tier 3 characters include Hourman, Wildcat, Secret, Deadshot, Talia al Ghul. OCs will almost universally be considered Tier 3.
