Bruh you're subscribed to all the mediocre titles (barring Superdad, I love that comic so much). Both of the Green Lantern titles is where it's at. The only good issue of the current Flash one was the most recent one. Tom King writes a shitty Batman (ironic because I loved his New 52 Grayson book).
Yeah? Hmmm. I mean I like Wally West too much to drop the only book featuring him, and they just wrapped up a story arc so it may get better. Never been a huge Green Lantern fan. Any books featuring Kyle Rayner or John Stewart? I kinda like them, at least compared to Hal Jordan. I may drop Batman. This last story was pretty melodramatic and weird. Besides, every comic I've read has been an improvement over the New 52 comics I read. Except maybe Batman.

Eh, I may shuffle some subscriptions around. Right now though I'm pretty invested in most of the stories and I want to see how they continue.
The real Wally is in Titans (which is also quite good). John and Kyle(currently the White Lantern) are in Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns (along with the rest of the Corps) and the current villain is Larfleeze, so it's getting pretty awesome.

Majority of the Rebirth series are pretty good. Specifically, the Green Lantern stuff and Titans.Before that, I really enjoyed the initial New 52 issues for Flash and Wonder Woman, as well as the Midnighter series when it came along.

I really enjoyed Teen Titans and Young Justice when I was younger.

Hmmm, of the comics I am subscribed to right now I think the only one that has absolutely nothing to do with Batman or Superman is The Flash, as long as you count Batman's former/current sidekicks as being Batman related. If not, then also count Teen Titans (which is lead by Robin) and Titans (which is led by Nightwing). Detective Comics is kind of shared between Batwoman and Batman, with some focus on Spoiler, Red Robin, Orphan (Cassandra Cain), Clayface, and now Batwing. I picked it up as a fan of Red Robin (Tim Drake), which kind of sucks a little right now because he has been... *ahem* removed from the plot for the time being.


Bear in mind I'm only restricting myself because I'm trying not to blow a shitload of money while I'm unemployed. If I were more willing to spend money I'd probably be reading Wonder Woman and Green lantern comics too. But as far as DC comics go, my priority is The Flash, then Superman, then Batman. Right now, I'd probably rate Batman as my least favorite comic of them all, but it's still not bad, just kind of "eh" sometimes.
It is rather weird how Batman, who essentially carried DC during the New 52 fiasco, has suffered the most in quality for Rebirth. I Am Suicide was kind of good, but I don't think it was amazing as it seems to. The Monster Men was just weird, Nightwing's new series is pretty meh, I fucking despise Batgirl, Detective Comics is my favorite, and Red Hood is pretty fun (but still not as good as the original).

Well you do have to realise that Batman is transitioning from a very highly regarded and long running creative team, seriously Snyder and Capullo stayed on that title through the entirety of the New 52 up to Rebirth, I think they were the only creative team to do that. They set the standard for what Batman should be for so long that its hard to imagine anyone following up without some skepticism.

Speaking for myself I was initially quite underwhelmed with it, the first arc and 'Night of the Monsters' didn't impress me much at all but I like its structure and how each arc leads into the next and I'm interested to see where its headed next following 'I am Suicide'.

I do also enjoy Detective Comics more though.

Question about DC universe in general.

Darkseid has always been typically portrayed as THE Big Bad Guy to all the Heroes of DC?

Basically when Darkseid appears "Shit just got real"?

From his introduction until about the early-mid 80s, Darkseid kinda just hung around his own tiny corner of the DCU, the Kirby "Fourth World" comics, which weren't actually very popular and only lasted a short time. Then Levitz and Giffem used him as a villain in a Legion story, mostly because he hand't really been used lately and nobody was expecting him. This actually began to reignite his popularity, and Superfriends using him as the big bad in the last couple of seasons got his name out there.

So far I'm really digging All Star Batman. It's just so much fun.

Well there are plenty of villains powerful enough to make shit "real" but yeah, Darkseid is pretty much the most powerful villain in the DC universe. His power level has wobbled back and forth with Superman, but lately it seems like he has been settled as stronger than Superman, but only enough to where Supes can defeat him if he has help. He is basically evil incanate, with only a tiny soft spot for his children. Very tiny, but it's there.

the new Vigilante mini-series that vertigo is doing is quite good. While I mostly only read a few image & dark horse titles when I collected comics, I did love the old Vigilante comics, along with Hellblazer.
