I'm just starting comics, and seeing as the New 52 is still new, I think this is a perfect time to start. However, I really want to know where the characters really come from, and the MAJOR events in their story lines and origins. Not really the stories and enemies and the most enjoyable ones, but the ones that changed the character's arc. Such as Batwoman becoming crippled in The Killing Joke or where you learn about Superman's past and things like that. I want to know the best collected issues to learn about them? The main characters I'm interested in are: Batman Batwoman (Pretty much the whole Bat- family) Catwoman Superman Green Lantern and I would love to know some of the villain origins.

Basically just a crash course in everyone, but in comic-book-form and not a webpage.
