Hello, I'm a fan of DC Comics, mostly because of its unique "continuity".

I like Superman, the version I like is the Silver Age one. And that is the reason why I like Superman now. There are now different colors of kryptonite. Krypto is now from the real Krypton. He is no longer the sole survivor.

Batman is awesome! While I think its interesting he and Superman are in each other's throats and don't quite agree with each other's methods, I like how they're the best of friends in the Silver Age. And it looks like they're near that now.

Wonder Woman is really special, but I didn't like how they "killed" her so she could "start over again" when they would have done the same way they did to Superman with "The Man of Steel". My favorite Pre-Crisis elements are as followed: she purchase the identity from Diana Prince, a U.S. Army nurse, and became a secretary to U.S. Army Intelligence; Steve Trevor being an intelligence agent and Wonder Woman's love interest; the sweet-toothed Etta Candy; her rivalry with the Cheetah (Priscilla Rich); and her mother Hippolyta as a blonde.

I like Aquaman. Even though its funny they show how lame Aquaman supposedly is like in Family Guy and those Cartoon Network bumpers, I think he deserves a little respect. I like the Silver Age version better, being the son of human Tom Curry and Atlanna, the exiled Atlantean princess. Yet, I was intrigued with the "blond hair is a curse" concept. It took the Aryan ideology on a different level.

The Black Canary and Zatanna are the hottest babes ever! Their fishnets make them sexy. My favorite Black Canary costume was in her debut, when she was wearing the blonde wing over her natural black hair, she should have worn a black domino mask like her mother did (which would make her more like her mother). As for Zatanna, she better in her female magician/tuxedo look with the top hat. If she wanted to keep her superheroing a secret, she should wear that other costume while in public and use her magic so no one would recognize her (like no one realizes Sailor Moon and Serena are the same even though she wears no mask).

But my favorite superhero team is the Thanagarian Hawkman and Hawkwoman, especially the Silver Age versions. A team of a man and woman who are police officers on an alien planet; they became partners, then lovers, and lastly married; they came to Earth where they could learn about its crime-fighting methods; the only man they entrusted with their secret is a police commissioner who believes them; they took on a secret identity as museum curators; but then they came to love the planet; and see it as their home when their homeworld became an expansionist empire; they turn against their own kind and see themselves as Earthlings; and they have each other to watch their backs. Damn whoever messed up their history, why can't they just let Hawkworld be a Year One story.
