It's not purely a personal moral value, and it's not that Batman doesn't acknowledge that killing most of his villains would probably be the smart thing to do over the long term, considering they seemingly always escape incarceration.

Rather, he acknowledges that he's operating as a vigilante outside the law, and that his actions could very well inspire others to emulate him and become vigilantes themselves. He wouldn't want to inspire murderous vigilantes who follow his actions to the letter.

What are your top 10 favorite combined solo (hero only) runs starting with the New 52 in 2011 all the way to the end of Rebirth in 2021?

Hi!! I have been a longtime casual enjoyer of DC through movies/tv shows and word of mouth, and have always wanted to read the comics but have put it off because I'm a bit intimidated by the sheer volume.

Does anyone have any recommendations about where to start? I kind of want to begin with batman/the various robins/red hood/nightwing, etc. or superman/superboy because those are the two scopes I'm already most familiar with. I'm up to read the older runs but also have seen some interesting newer comics coming out... like the absolute comics or new prime superboy stuff.

If possible I'd like to start with the heavy-hitters plot-wise, but I also would like to read some stuff that isn't so heavy and showcases personality or relationships between the various characters. Also if anyone has any random stuff that is good to read (oh or recommendations about where to read the comics!) I would be very appreciative.

Thxxxx :)

A while back, I read Superman ‘78 and absolutely loved it. I’m currently reading Batman ‘89, and so far I’m loving that one too.

Recently, I came across a video of Christopher Reeve talking about how, when Batman (1989) came out, he approached Warner Bros. about making a simple cameo as Superman. Unfortunately, the executives turned the idea down.

That got me thinking: now that both the Donner Superman and Burton Batman films have continued their respective universes through comic books, what’s stopping DC from actually having them cross over?

Personally, I think it would be badass to see a Batman v Superman story that brings together the Donnerverse and Burtonverse. Imagine Keaton’s Batman encountering Reeve’s Superman, with both characters written to fit the tone and continuity of their respective films. It could be a really fun way to finally give fans the crossover that never happened on screen.

I have a pretty decent knowledge of Hal Jordan and most other major GLs and other Lanterns’ like Sinestro and Atrocitus, and I was reading Blackest Night back when it was releasing as a kid with that kind of sparse knowledge.

But now, I want to read it (The Blackest Night event and everything that built up to it) all properly in order and efficiently. Scrolling through here I’ve seen people recommend starting with GL Rebirth but starting the first issue seems bizarre. Like with the 4 Corpsmen being already GLs/Vuldurian while Hal is the spectre and such (I know the context behind it, but I don’t think it makes for a smooth read?).

So basically, what’s the best issues to read to build up to the Blackest Night?

I'm going to create some artwork of the DC ladies as if they were in stylish magazine covers

I recently read Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, and it raised an interesting question for me about Kong.

And admittedly i do not know anything about green lanterns or lanterns in general. More then an average person but obviously less then anyone whos read a dedicated GL comic. I've only dabbled indirectly in justice league content.

But my question. Theres this extra badass panel where KONG gets his hand on the green lantern ring. (Which was an epic panel) but made me think. Does it actually make sense in any way shape or form that a green lantern ring WOULD actually pick kong? Would kong be an actual rings choice?

I dont know alot about the terms and conditions on this one but would a ring legitimately choose kong if kong was more then a nearby immediate choice which is kind of also how i read it. The ring chose him in that moment for the battle (which idk if rings do that) and then it left him right after.

But again my serious question does a nig giant sized titan gorilla called kong would it be a real choice for a ring? Would he actually meet the T and Cs for a ring? Outside of the coolness of a crossover content in a serious odd circumstance if there was a lantern core i guess in a universe where this Kong was from.

Genuine question: What did these even do? Why could Superman just... Shoot rainbows from his hands? Hal would be jealous.

The joker has been shown to own a variety of suits and outfits that both fit his clown motif and fit his body type as well. He doesn’t seem like the type of person to practice tailoring have any thugs who do either, so where is he getting these clothes that manage to make him look good both theme wise and body wise?

Hopefully this is fine, since it's not technically all DC, but...

Like the title say, I'm working on a DC/Marvel crossover fanfic set on a world that originally had no magic, no superpowers/metahumans/mutants, etc. Something about the planet's magnetic field made it a no go zone for aliens. As far as the residents are concerned, the place is as boring as our earth.

That is until some interdimensional portals started to open up and spit out heroes, villains, etc from various Marvel and DC universe, including comic verses.

So far I have S.H.I.E.L.D. as a major player. My problem is, I know way less about DC than I do about Marvel and the world is meant to be a melting pot where it's not Marvel and DC, it's just Earth-746. With that in mind, I'd love to know what DC character you think would work best in S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Basically, any direction you can point me in would be lovely.

I got it in the mail today and read through it immediately.
The art is fantastic, the characters are all unique and capture your attention right away, and the concept for the first story arc is solid. Higgins did a great job setting up all the characters and Di Nicuolo illustrated it beautifully. A lot of the basic questions people were asking prior to the release were answered in this first volume. I think if you go in with an open heart you'll enjoy it whether you're a long time comic reader or someone new to comics. I haven't been this excited for the start of a story since the Absolute Universe dropped. It gives me that same feeling of wanting to know what's next. This is definitely something special.

Was reading knightfall in preparation for the movie and after I watched it felt like they skipped over a few things and changed the whole vibe of the movie and the characters

A week or two ago I saw a post on this subreddit that said "DC Comics is a Batman comics company." It made me realise that there are way too many Batman stories out there. Could you please recommend some main line DC Comics that are not related to Batman. I am a fairly new reader so please recommend whatever you guys think would immerse me more into the DC stories. Thank you very much.
