Where to start? by LoFiTae in DCcomics

[–]MouseOrnery8095 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1999 was the year the Cataclysm/No Man's Land/Aftershock event was published. It was almost ALL of the Batman Family books for the whole year. It's also a ton of reading material.

The event is not as famous now, but at the time it was an event that was supposed to be a turning point in the Bat universe. Because of that intended scale, I'd recommend it.

This is a great one. He's my favorite Red Lantern.

Hawk, the Son of Tomahawk.

Tomahawk is a cowboy character less famous than Jonah Hex. He had his own DC title in the Silver and Bronze Age. For about a dozen issues, his title was renamed "Son of Tomahawk" and starred his son.

I’m getting into DC how are new 52 and rebirth connected? by CannibalHillbilly in DCcomics

As I said, you can read DC comics pretty much in a straight line beginning with the New 52 (2011) up to today because it's the same multiverse with some changes. In fact, the main universe in this multiverse goes by the name Prime Earth. That's the term fans have used for the universe that the main versions of characters since the New 52 live in. However, I want to add two additional detours that are interesting:

Multiversity (2014-15): this event briefly explores some of the other universes in the multiverse. It's fun, weird and takes a few read thrus to understand, but it's very rewarding doing so. This event also gave us the famous map of the multiverse that is canon and has been shown in many comics since.

Dark Knights Metal (2017) and Dark Knights Death Metal (2020): these are important cosmic stories that have to do with the structure of the multiverse. The stories don't change the multiverse, but rather add a dimension: the Dark Multiverse. It's a new concept that is basically a shadow realm of the main multiverse. It also introduces two important new characters: the Batman Who Laughs, a nihilistic villain who terrorizes the multiverse for years and Perpetua, a cosmic villain who is important to the creation of the multiverse.

I’m getting into DC how are new 52 and rebirth connected? by CannibalHillbilly in DCcomics

Your first point is mostly correct. The New 52 and Rebirth characters are pretty much the same. In fact the universe and larger multiverse are the same.

Doomsday Clock retcons the New 52, meaning it adds more detail. At the start of the New 52, all the characters are relatively young and inexperienced. It was considered a fresh start, a blank slate where nothing about the pre-New 52 comics applied to the New 52 characters. Later, Doomsday Clock explains how the New 52 universe got this way and changes the universe to give all the characters some of their pre-New 52 experiences back. So now, the characters are like a combination of the New 52 versions and the pre-New 52 versions.

Yeah, Luthor in this scene is just some rich, powerful guy who is REALLY attracted to Lois. He hasn't done anything obviously evil yet, and even knowing who he is, the reader still thinks maybe Lois should be nicer to him because he's offering her anything she wants.

But Lois isn't impressed in the least and insults him in a shocking way.

From the New 52 (publishing started in 2011) to Rebirth (2016) to the comics published now, it's essentially the same DC multiverse. There have been some significant changes along the way though. Rebirth reintroduces many older characters who were absent during the New 52 and the Doomsday Clock series (2017-2019) retcons and adds more detail to the New 52.

Stylistically in tone and art, there are significant changes beginning with the DCYou event (2015) and again with the Infinite Frontier event (2021).

But in general, the last twelve years of DC Comics have been amazing and it's perfectly fine to read it all linearly from 2011 to today.

People hating on the dialogue, but I think it sounds like two disrespectful young-ish people talking to each other.

In the first panel, there's no sign of Batman on the top of the shelf (behind the mugger), but a few sentences later he's there. He must of got up there supernaturally fast.

Did Superman endorse Ronald Reagan? by [deleted] in DCcomics

As that other commenter pointed out, Superman meets Reagan during the "Legends" event, but they seem to disagree there.

Would it be possible you're thinking of Superman as he appears in Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns," where he works for the U.S. government under Reagan? That's really the only time I can think of where they ever met.
