Hello everyone,

I am trying to start reading comics and thought DC would be the perfect place to start. I checked the jump-points/relaunches and thought about starting at DC Rebirth. The only problem is there are no “new origin stories”, if I understood correctly, but I have not enough information about the universe to just start a new story with characters with a full background. I would like to eat your opinions on that.

Thank you.

Hello guys I am (relatively) new to DC comics and wanted a few recommendations. I know a few things because my brother is obsessed with DC and Marvel (especially The Flash). I have read a few of the comics he bought (The Flash: Out of Time, The Flash: Savage World and Flashpoint) and even bought one for myself (The Killing Joke). I really liked all three of them. I watched the whole DCEU with him (except ZSJL, but I watched about the last 30 minutes of it when he was watching it). I also watched the first 2 seasons of Young Justice after he recommended it to me and I loved it.

My favourite characters are The Flash (Jay Garrick/ Barry Allen/ Wally West/ Bart Allen), Kid Flash (Wallace West), Red Hood (Jason Todd), Impulse (Bart Allen) The Joker, Two-Face, The Penguin, Captain Cold (Leonard Snart), Heatwave (Mick Rory), Reverse-Flash (Eobard Thawne) a few recommendations for them would be really cool! I would also want recommendations for characters that arent my favs because I rarely know about them (like Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman Superman, The Justice League, The Teen Titans/ Titans, Shazam etc. etc.). I am looking forward to interact with all of you on here and maybe turn into an comic lover.

Now that Zack Snyder's Justice League is approaching, I think it's important to have this discussion: what will we be treating as DCEU canon from now on? The current stance from the actors, as well as the projected popularity of the film, seems to imply that ZSJL will be canon as opposed to JL. This doesn't mean we should just ignore JL's events on the wiki, however. As a comprehensive encyclopedia, we are obligated to cover EVERYTHING DC Comics, even things not canon. I suggest "Justice League Movie" as the new name for JL's canon.

If we decide for some reason that the opposite is true, that JL is DCEU canon and ZSJL is its own world, then we can just call ZSJL the Snyderverse, the popular fan term, and include info from Man of Steel and BvS Ultimate there. Any thoughts?

So I've been reading a lot of comics lately, I got Tom King's run on Batman, as well as Dick Grayson's adventures as Batman. I got Francis Manapul's Flash, and Benjamin Percy's Green Arrow. I've also wanted to try Snyder's Batman, but the comics are out of order. According to these preferences, are there any recommendations you have?

Infobox dimensions seem to be pretty inconsistent. Some are full screenshots, while others are posters or full body crops. I say we should lean more towards the latter, since those images provide better looks at the characters. Thoughts?

It may not be the comics' canon, but Damon Lindelof has confirmed that the original Watchmen comic alone IS CANON to his HBO series. Can we just simplify things and put the information from the comic not mentioned in the show on the pages of the characters?

In Before Watchmen: Doctor Manhattan, Jon attempts to look back before his conception as Manhattan and creates an alternate timeline where he never becomes Doctor Manhattan and the world ends. The end of the comic sees Jon in a new timeline, the DC timeline, as I like to call it, the world of Before Watchmen, the original Watchmen, and Doomsday Clock. In this case, shouldn't we have pages for both the original Watchmen timeline before Jon looked back, and the alternate timeline he created by accident? I think yes. As for names, "Watchmen: Manhattan Timeline" for the accidental alternate timeline, and "Watchmen: Original Timeline" for the original timeline.

Can we make a disambig page for the President of the United States? I feel like that'd be for the best, since it's kinda hard to find one president. Presidents who already have their own long diambigs could have the "other versions" subheader. Who agrees?

My friend wants to get back into comics. He stopped when the New 52 began. What comics should he read to get an understanding of what is going on in the DC universe currently. Also if you recommend a cheap reading option(like cheaper books or online comics) that would be great! Thanks!

For the DCAU characters infoboxes, shouldn't we put the images from their future? I mean, we know it's the definite future, not a possible one, we know that what they'll look like, and it's chronologically most recent.

So I'm reading through Heroes in Crisis right now and got really interested in the characters who died there (especially Hot Spot). On The Wiki Page for hot spot I found that he is/was a Teen Titan. So can anyone recommend me some good stuff for Booster Gold/ Arsenal/ Blue Jay (and especially Hot Spot)

Have any of you got any comic recommendations? Any exciting or interesting Comics? Or ‘worth the read’ ones?

Hey, Imma HUGE DC Comics fan, and Even though, I only Read One Animal Man Comic, Which was Animal Man: Animal vs. Man. That's why I wanted to know if there are any Modern or Silver Age Animal Man Readings if I could try and pick up. Thanks in Advance! 😁

What should i read after watchmen ?

Vixen is one of my favourite DC characters. However, I've never read anything from DC, let alone her.

Do you guys have any recommendations? Are there any essential reads for this character?
