The Absolute Universe is DC’s biggest success story in decades. The dark, reinvented version of DC’s classic setting has been blowing fans and critics out of the park for nearly two years now. Instead of leaning towards hope and goodness, Darkseid’s influence has caused this universe to veer towards evil and cruelty. The heroes are […]
Batman is DC’s biggest character, without question. He’s the single most profitable superhero in the world, even beating out Spider-Man. The Dark Knight has risen from a normal man battling small-time thugs to saving the universe alongside the Justice League practically every day. Alongside him, DC has introduced a cast of characters that have become […]
DC Comics has made the superhero family into one of the most important parts of its superhero multiverse and the best example of this is the Bat-Family. The publisher has been building it since 1940, when they introduced readers to the first sidekick Robin. Since then, the Bat-Family has become one of the most popular […]
The Legion of Superheroes is one of the most important teams in DC history. They were the first major teen superteam and have become one of the most complicated. The team was based around Superboy; they were aliens from the 31st century who had been inspired by the adventures of the Teen of Steel. Lightning […]
The Green Lantern Corps and the rest of the Emotional Spectrum have some of the deepest, most imaginative lore in all of DC.

Superman was joined by Batman, and then the floodgates open, with Alan Scott’s Green Lantern, Jay Garrick’s the […]
Batman has a certain reputation with the supervillain community. He’s basically a supernatural force to them, a dark avenger of the night that can survive anything they throw at him and come out with a win.
