    Recommended site for character reading orders?

    Is there a site similar to the Marvel Chronology Project but for DC characters? I've found a few but only cover major characters but comes nowhere as close to the depth and breadth of the afreomentioned.

    [Cover] Nick gradotta - Absolute Batman

    I have been following animated and live action releases, but very recently I decided to go deeper by engaging into comics. Is it worth catching up on releases dating back to the New 52 ? or should I just ride the new release like Absolute Batman ?

    Why did it take so long for DC to acknowledge Bill Finger's input for The Batman

    To my knowledge I'm pretty aware of the issues surrounding Bob Kane and Bill Finger's involvement in the creation of Batman and how after Bill Finger died, Bob Kane conceded some of the credit out of possible guilt. What puzzles me is why, after Bob's death it took so long to come to an agreement with Kane's estate about giving credit to Bill and his undeniable hand in the creation of the Batman. From what I understand Bob Kane had an airtight contract with DC that lasted unto perpetuity so why did it change after almost 20 years after his death.

    'We Are Legends' Label Logo

    I'm about to read the 'We Are Legends' series and I noticed the logo has Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Hindi underneath it.

    I'm just wondering why Japanese was included since the label seems like it's tied to a one-off, limited series 'event' and there weren't any series with Japanese characters and creators involved.

    Was there one in the works that was cancelled or never came to fruition? Did they involve Japanese stuff (the Joker & Superman manga) in some other way?

    Anyone here know anything?

    I need help!!!

    I’m on a budget as I’m trying to buy my first house. I’m currently debating on which of the two comics will be the last to get added to my pull list. Should it be Absolute Green Lantern OR Absolute Flash.

    Historically I grew up a GL fan with Blackest Night but I’m just not sure bc I also am a fan of where the Flash could go.

    Please help.

    Poster Portfolios

    Anybody else wish DC would continue the Poster Portfolio series? I love these books, and my entire house is decorated with framed prints from these. I’d love to see Ivan Reiss, Jason Fabok, and some Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age books.

    What are the best batman comics?

    Hi, Xmas passed and I got two separate $100 gift card for Amazon I don't really ever shop there but I spent about 30 dollars on odds and ends I needed. I got 170 dollars left and I want to get into Batman comics. I love the character, I've read random issues of Batman any I could find as a kid, I grew up with Batman the animated series, like a lot of the films, absolutely adore the Arkham games but truly, I am a complete noob to Batman comics. Any help would be appreciated!! Hush seems like a no brainer? but other than that I have no idea.

    P.S: I know I should support local comic shops, I usually do my best to go there, but as these are gift cards there's no where else I can spend them.

    Looking for an old Superman movie/story pitch

    Hello All,

    I'm trying to find a Superman movie pitch I read a number of years ago. I believe I saw it on reddit, but it's origin was somewhere else. The basic premise was showing Superman as a symbol of hope against modern cynicism. I believe it was called something like "Superman: the man of Yesterday.

    I believe I read this about 5 years ago or so, but it's older than that.

    Anyway, some vague plot points I remember:

    -Starts out with the classic superman beating up cartoonish villains and such. Full on blue boy scout type deal.

    -He beats Lex at the start of the pitch

    -He's an established superman, not brand new to the job

    -Somehow Superman is transported into the cynical future (not sure how), where everyone has forgotten him, the world sucks, and old Lex Luthor basically runs the world and nobody has hope.

    -I think Lois Lane is dead

    -Jimmy Olsen now runs the daily planet, but its like a tabloid rag or something

    -Eventually Superman manages to travel back to the past with the help of Olsen and prevent this terrible future from happening.

    I believe the guy in the post below read the same pitch, though he also only seems to have half remembered it.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/fixingmovies/comments/qiot4b/pitching_a_superman_movie/

    Anyway sorry for the vagueness but it's been driving me nuts.

    I've never read DC comics before, but I've seen tons of things about the Batfam online and I'm desperate to get into it. Where can I start?

    Just for a bit of background, I've read little to no comics, so I don't really know how any of this works in terms of reading order. I just really want to read about the Batfam and learn everything about them. Also, if this helps, I'm especially interested in Dick Grayson and Jason Todd's stories. Thanks!

    If I wanted to read about the supernatural/mystic side of DC, which comics would your recommend?

    There are several characters that interest me (the Spectre, Madame Xanadu, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Klarion, Fate, literally every character that is even slightly supernatural or casts magic), but I don't know where to start. I'm genuinely out of sorts here despite not being a stranger to the world of comics. I'm also interested in Raven from the Teen Titans, but only on the runs/events/etc relevant to her character.

    I've read Hellblazer, Sandman, and Books of Magic. If you know of a database I can use to check out character appearances, that'd be great too. I'm not a fan of events, for example, and I usually just follow the characters I like and read only what's relevant to them, so a database would help me with that.

    New 52 didn’t last even 5 years and I’ve heard some things like Batman and green lantern were good during this time but does anything else stand out as being the few good things during this period?
