I remember enjoying it despite it not being very good.

So riddle me this batman. What's a good DC hero that's worth looking into?

Don't like the bat. Superman out. Honestly what else is there? Wonder woman might be ok although I'm not sure I care too much.

To me and obviously an opinion marvel just has better story development and I love a lot of their characters

Doom Patrol but honestly, If the light heartedness and humor of Marvel is a selling point to you then DC isn't for you.

The new CEO who isn’t James Gunn is one of the producers so it seems at the very least it’s unlikely to be canned?

I like bat villains. Not Bruce. He's got the best villains imo

Did you try the new "the batman" though? Quite different than any other barman movie/show. Closer to a detective thriller.

Wonder woman was OK, '84 sucks though.

Dark knight was good. Bc of two face and joker.

I just don't get the bat.

His mom and dad died to a mugging in front of him when he was very little.

Unresolved trauma + extreme anger + extremely smart and also rich man = "i'll just beat up criminals so much they'll be too scared to do crime"

If the bat itself is the issue, IDK it just stuck, blame Bill Finger.

That I get. Just not why he's cool. In this situation I'd prefer iron man or moon knight. Or both.

Edit. Will also say it took me forever to warm up to iron man. But think he's pretty interesting now. One of my top picks.

He's basically a super smart Terminator ninja.

Strikes from the darkness, solves murders, has tons of cool gadgets and never gives up until his job is done.

Some of his popular stories are him solving some really horrific shit, or him being extremely old and executing a plan 20 years in the making after he retires, or him being shot with Omega beams, and then travelling back through time while being an amnesiac and also a reality bomb, all the while fighting cavemen, witch-hunters, pirates, cowboy bandits, some mobsters, the Justice League and finally programming a race of time-computer aliens to merge with him in order to come back to the present so the Justice League can kill the time-travelling beast that's been hunting him, then medically die and be revived (to defuse the reality bomb) so he can immediately return to Gotham to resume his role as Batman (immediately as in like an hour later he's there and ready to fight a villain who shoots Dick Grayson in the skull).

The John Rogers run of Blue Beetle. Barely needs any introductory information.
