Superman is a little wonky right now. You'll hear people give the early Rebirth stories (from the past year) a good review, but now they just had this big event called Superman Reborn where everything, all of Supes' history, his history with the world around him, everything, just got really really really confusing. I would come back around to Superman once you have a better understanding of the DC Universe.

I'll always suggest starting with the New 52, because that's how I got started. It was a great jumping on place for new readers.

But, if you want a series that's ongoing right now, my favorite series at the moment is Doom Patrol Vol 6. It's only like 7 issues in or so and it's part of DC's "Young Animal" line, which means it's part of the main universe, but the subject matter is more mature and the stories are more independent of the rest of the universe. Like, Young Animal characters are doing their own thing. So, though it might not help you stay "up to date" with what's going on in the rest of the universe, it's honestly a fun comic.
