That universe (Earth-D) only appeared in a single issue of Legends of the DC Universe, which was an anthology title of "missing scenes" from various bygone eras, sort of. (there was a flashback Batgirl story, a Barry Allen three-parter, etc.) So even though the story was published in February 1999, it functions as a missing part of "Crisis on Infinite Earths." It was written by Marv Wolfman.
Earth-D's heroes are generally more diverse than ours; there's also an Asian guy who's The Flash, and I think I recall Hawkman and Hawkgirl being Egyptian or Indian or something like that.
I believe the "d" stands for dork.
