Lmao imagine this, "Batman, we decided that you won't be needed in the JL anymore." Batman: "K get out." Superman: "Why?" It's my watchtower which I also payed for."
My top ten (off the top of my head) 1. Watchmen 2. All Star Superman 3. Killing joke 4. Superman Red Son 5. Dark Knight Returns 6. Flash Rebirth 7. Kingdom come 8. Forever Evil 9. Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn 10. Throne of Atlantis

Great list! I don’t know about anybody else, but I’d love to see, at least, the five years between the nuking of metropolis and the main story of Injustice be animated into a film, maybe two like the dark knight returns.
1. Kingdom come, 2. Allstar Superman, 3. Batman Hush, 4. Batman Court of Owels, 5. Superman Doomsday, 6. JLA Tower of Babel, 7. Flashpoint, 8. Batman under the read hood, 9. Batman 3 Jokers, 10. Batman Endgame, ...
I always loved Superman for All Seasons. It was everything pure and right about Superman, distilled, while still keeping him humble. I'll always remember a panel where a kid says his costume is cool, and Superman's reply is "Thank, my mom made it for me."
1) Watchmen 2) V for vendetta 3) The killing joke/World's greatest superheroes 4) Kingdom come 5) the dark knight returns 6) Sandman 7) All star superman 8) Sinestro Corps war 9) Cisis on infinite earth 10) Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow
It’s completely horrible. Alan Moore better stick to The Watchmen. The Killing Joke was possibly thee worst Batman story ever written. It’s a complete shitfest and very likely the most overrated storyline ever written. Right up with DKR as the most overrated comics ever..... The Death of Superman and Batman: Year One utterly destroy both of those. There’s no debate about that at all. It is Fact.
Bigg Howw Lmaooo, And the complete ignorance you spew out shows you know absolutely nothing about these stories whatsoever, “No Depth” LMAAOOOO, Where’d you hear that? Stop tryin to sound smart you idiot..... The Killing Joke is utterly fucking awful. PERIOD. The Dark Knight Returns and All-Star Superman and all of those inherently overrated stories ARE NOTTTTTT even remotely close to “the best of all time” , You’re a complete moron, you know nothing about DC at all, You probably haven’t even READ anything more than the complete mainstream critic favorites bullshit like those. There are sooooo many better stories than the Killing fucking joke or DKR. That IS a fact. Not an opinion
Here is my list of personal favs: •Sandman by Neil Gaiman •Watchmen, V For Vendetta, and The Killing Joke by Alan Moore •The Dark Knight Returns and Batman Year One by Frank Miller •All-Star Superman, Animal Man, Final Crisis, and DC One Million by Grant Morrison •The New Teen Titans and Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman •Simon Dark by Steve Niles •Batman Court of Owls, City of Owls, and Death of the Family by Scott Snyder •Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis •Infinite Crisis, Blackest Night, Brightest Day, Flashpoint, and Doomsday Clock by Geoff Johns •Batman Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb
jabman025 I wouldn’t put it there mainly cuz of the finale of Hush which is contrived and is a portly written conclusion compared to its previous entries long Halloween and Dark victory which r jeph lobes superior batman stories.
My Top 10 DC stories: Green Arrow year one Green Arrow the long bow hunters Green Arrow the kill machine Green Lantern/Green Arrow Green Arrow Quiver Green Arrow and Black Canary wedding Green Arrow: Sounds of Violence Green Arrow: Archer's Quest Green Arrow: Cross Roads Green Arrow: The outsiders war This list might be a bit biased...
I really do, he will always be my all time favorite superhero and about the tv show Arrow i think that season 1 was great, season 2 was awesome, season 3 was bad, season 4 was crap and it is where i stop watching because they did kill off Black Canary on a Green Arrow show which is unacceptable and unforgivable the tv show is dead to me olicity kill it.
GreenArrowHunter The Olicity drama and offing Black Canary destroyed it for most people. I strongly suggest you consider watching Season 5. It was an amazing Season.
DC has had so many amazing comics but my top 5 would have to be: 1. Kingdom Come (The take on the DC heroes we all know and love was amazing and Alex Ross' art is greatness) 2. Watchmen 3. All-Star Superman 4. The Dark Knight Returns 5. Flash: Rebirth
Sandman Lucifer Watchmen Kingdom come Blackest night New Gods Preacher All star Superman Dark Knight Returns Fables DC truly knows how to create masterpieces
Top ten DC stories Watchmen Before Watchmen Watchmen Watchmen Watchmen Watchmen Watchmen Watchmen Watchmen DC rebirth #1 This list might be a bit biased...
Kevin Choi what a shame people like you don't understand DCEU superman and can't accept the fact there are hundreds of different takes on the character
JaredNeuer No it's a Shame that DC fans intelligence is insulted when DCEU fans claim that nobody "understands" the dceu counterparts of the characters. Meanwhile, us DC fans have been reading and appreciating superman years before anyone at the dceu could name a superman villain... You "you just don't understand" people are the same people defending Batman killing in BvS...
itszaaaamzeh , wow you really don't *understand* do you, I have read a ton of comics since I was little and I love BvS 🙂 batman killing is understandable and it's written on purpose and it's explained, if you don't like it that sounds like a personal problem rather than a critique of the film.
Phoenix Person that's not a critique of the film that's a critique of a character adaptation. I can critique the film left and right for days but that's not the point of my comic. YOU proved my point with that stupid "you really don't understand" statement. Fyi: saying "it's written on purpose" is a redundant statement as I'm sure Everyone here has already seen the movie. It's as if you just said "You don't understand, Bruce Wayne IS Batman." See how stupid that sounds?
itszaaaamzeh ............ ok so your *personal opinion* is that you don't like this superman or batman adaptation. Hmmm... yup, you can't critique the film without bringing your personal bias on what the characters should be. It's literally explained and shown in the movie as to why they act the way they act jeezz.
Not even remotely. Lmao that animated movie was terrible. Just like the damn story. Literally the ONLY REASON at all DKR was even remotely good is because it gave us the Dark Batman that we all love. That is IT.... Batman: Year One is 1000-Fold Better in every way. THAT was Miller’s masterpiece. Not fucking DKR...... The Death of Superman, Kingdom Come, Year One, Batman: Endgame and Zero Year, and Soooo many others completely put DKR to absolute Shame. Period.
If that's your opinion fair enough, but if people think there hasn't been a better storyline since 82 for ANY character it's nostalgia and name value more than anything imo.
As part of DC month, Could you please do a video on the history of DC's Atlantis? Or Maybeyou could just do the part about how humans started on Earth (and may be responsible for the existence of Kryptonians and Thanagarians)...
Gee, I thought Crisis on Infinite Earths would be number 1. My favorites are Blackest Night Flashpoint Infinite Crisis Batman Hush Under the Red Hood Superman Brainiac The Judas Contract The Lightning Saga Forever Evil Darkseid War
In any order: Blackest Night Flashpoint Battle for the Cowl Infinite Crisis Dark Knight Returns Judas Contract The Death of Superman The Killing Joke Final Crisis HMs: Sinestro Corps War, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Knightfall, Flash Rebirth, DC Rebirth, All-Star Superman, Court of Owls
If anyone hasn't read Mark Waid's JLA - Tower of Babel, I encourage you to download it or get the collected edition immediately. The way it examines the personal dynamics of Justice League members is incredible. And the last few pages of the story are gut-wrenching.
@@richh6001 - Yes. The story is iconic. It is one of the few Justice League stories that reveals who these characters are in relation to each other. Most JLA stories focus solely on the team's impact on the rest of the galaxy.
@@fluffyssj2693 DC beats marvel in comics ,animations, series, the only thing that marvel beats DC is cinematic universe, DC still released tons of comics till now 'Read DCEASED', darkseid war, crisis, jl the sixth dimension ,tdkreturns,new 52 to name a few, the only good comics marvel has is X-men and wolverine
@@artsy_slade actually it's only really in animation and video games, have you even read the infinity gauntlet by Jim starlin or infinty by Hickman? Plus comics shouldn't be related to there publisher but to the writers and illustrators because if a person writes a good comic for marvel and then writes another good comic for dc witch is a worse comic? You cant say that the dc comic is worse just because its made by dc
sure, you're one of those who think Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns are classics, aren't ya?😂😂 in reality, those two are shit, and this is coming from a batfan, especially The Killing Joke, overrated and with an overrated and overused villain
BibbyBoxx2219 1). TDKR is the only reason batfans believe that Bats can defeat Supes and it is also one of the reasons why supes is considered less ethical and self righteous than Batman 2). The Killing Joke is half baked shit, simple, just coz it involves Joker's origin doesn't mean it has content, it lacks content, it's not epic, it's not complex either, forced complexity is another thing....why not put "A serious house on a serious earth" in the place of it....plus Joker has become an overrated and overused villain lately, with no new development (I don't count "three active jokers" as a development, DC is so busy with Doomsday clock right now that the three jokers storyline will run out of it's own hype
My top 10 favorite DC stories of all time 1. The Dark Knight Returns 2. Batman The Killing Joke 3. Flashpoint 4. Green Lantern Blackest Night 5. Teen Titans The Judas Contract 6. All Star Superman 7. Batman The Long Halloween 8. Hellblazer Dangerous Habits 9. Superman Red Son 10. Watchmen
@@second1814 just because the original comics were called Under The Hood, doesn't mean he doesn't like the story... That's just being a douche for no reason. The original comics storyline was called Under The Hood, then they made the animated movie and called it Under The Red Hood, and then when the comics were put into a graphic novel, they did label that novel as Under The Red Hood. So he's not wrong just because he didn't know the old original name, and used the name that most people call it.
I knew it wouldn't be here but I was hoping for "The Darkness Saga" to be here. For Top 10 crossovers, "No Man's Land" has to be on there. I like how Arris mentions all the DC movies based on the stories except for "The Killing Joke."
Batman Hush is one best DC stories of all time .And The Dark Knight Returns is also awesome as well ,Even back in the day when it first came out | But cool as always Arris .
Solid list. My Top 25 DC stories would be: 1. Watchmen 2. Dark Knight Returns 3. Kingdom Come 4. New Frontier 5. Crisis on Infinite Earths 6. Alan Moore's Swamp Thing 7. Levitz/Giffen LSH: Great Darkness Saga 8. Batman Year One 9. Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams: Green Lantern/Green Arrow run 10. The Longbow Hunters 11. All-Star Superman 12. Gotham By Gaslight 13. Green Lantern: Will World 14. LSH: Adventure Comics run 15. Batman/Mad Monk and Batman/Monster Men by Matt Wagner 16. Batman/Grendel by Matt Wagner 17. The Killing Joke 18. George Perez Wonder Woman 19. Azzarello/Chiang Wonder Woman 20. Long Halloween 21. Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow and For the Man Who Has Everything by Alan Moore 22. Sandman by Neil Gaiman 23. Sandman Mystery Theater by Matt Wagner 24. Hawkworld and Legend of the Hawkmen 25. Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader by Gaiman
THE JG SHOW DOTF/Endgame is one of the best comics ever written. Scott Snyder is an absolute boss. That was probably thee best Batman run of all time. Paul Dini is still the best Superman writer of all but I think Snyder has surpassed on him on The Batman.
Late reply I know lol but let's also not forget Crisis on Infinite Earth's and Infinite Crisis. Endgame was amazing, Dark Night Metal is another fantastic read.
1: Crisis on Infinite Earths (Anti-Monitor arrives to destroy the multiverse) 2: Knightfall (Bane breaks Batman’s back in a brutal battle) 3: Flashpoint Paradox (Barry Allen time travels and created his own time line) 4: Dark Knights Metal (Readers are introduced to Batmen from across the multiverse) 5: The Dark Knight Returns (A retired Batman is broken and unmotivated to fight) 6: Death of Superman (Doomsday threatens the world and kills Superman) 7: Green Lantern Star Trek (A crossover between my favorite series) 8: Judas Contract (A mole in the Teen Titans gives info to Deathstroke) 9: Batman: Killing Joke (Fans learn Joker’s origin; Joker injures Barbra) 10: Tower of Babel (Ra’s Al Ghul beats the Justice League with Batman’s plans)
One book that I think is constantly overlooked, but incredibly deep is the Elseworlds title "Batman: Holy Terror". The art is just mid-90's "meh", but the writing and concepts are superb. Definitely worthy of a sequel.
My Top 10 list: 1. Watchmen 2. Batman The Killing Joke 3. Batman Hush 4. Green Lantern Sinestro Corps War 5. Teen Titans The Judas Contract 6. Batman The Dark Knight Returns 7. All Star Superman 8. JLA Tower of Babel 9. Kingdom Come 10. Superman Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow Notable Mention: A) Superman Red Son B) Green Arrow The Longbow Hunters C) Identity Crisis D) The New Frontier
My Top 10 Favorite DC Storyline 10. Flashpoint 9. Batman : Knightfall ( where his back was broken by Bane ) 8. The 52 7. Huntress : Cry for Blood 6. JLA : Crisis on TWO EARTHS 5. JLA : Tower of Babel 4. Superman / Batman : Apocalypse 3. Green Lantern : Blackest Night 2. JLA : Rock of Ages 1. Crisis 0n Infinite Earths
Flashpoint definitely deserves a place in the list. Litterally the most compelling story in the DC universe along with creating the biggest reboots ever.
Does DC rebirth #1 count even though it's only one issue? Eh, it's one of my favourites anyway, I love Scott Snyder's Batman run too even though that's a bunch of stories. Great list Arres, quite a few of my favs on there too.
10 teen titans when they were powerless against some of most ruthless villains 9 when batman constructed information on how to defeat every member of the justice league including himself and a villain got his hands on the info 8 All Star Superman: Clark only has a year left to live and how he goes about it 7 Yellow Lantern 6 Watchmen 5 Superman Red Son: great what if story 4 Kingdom Come: future dc universe where our heroes are old and the current ones are reckless 3 Flash Rebirth 2 Batman the Killing Joke 1 The Dark Knight Returns
10. Under the Red Hood 9. Evil Ring 8. Third Army 7. Killing Joke 6. Dark Knight Returns 5. Red Son 4. Brightest Day Blackest Night 3. Flashpoint 2. Injustice 1. Watchmen
I dug the hell out of Snyder's batman, but superhevy and bloom were weird as hell. Gordon being batman in a mech suit is fine, just the villians he fought were so odd it distracted me, and gordon's haircut without his mustache he looked like the same age as bruce.
I agree with this list but there are some really Underrated Comics in DC 1. Wonder Woman The Circle 2. Shazam Geoff Johns (Amazing) 3. Batman Earth One Vol 2 4. Superman Birth Right 5. Batman year 1 (surprised this didn't make the list) 6. Superman Earth One 7. Wonder Woman Eyes Of The Gorgan 8. Wonder Woman heikeita 9. Superman Scarifice And there are many more that never make these lists, that are really mature adult takes on these characters from the 90s
The punisher is dope. More effective, more dangerous, but not smarter. If they went toe to toe he would be played and fall fast. Though batman wouldn’t kill him so that gives frank an infinite number of tries... that, given his experience, would most likely end in bats death. Would be a cool cross over. Batman vs punisher
Joker is pretty good at being a bad guy but RF just edges him out for the top spot and then it would probably be Darkseid they Ra's Deathstroke Sinestro Doomsday
Would have liked to see an "honourable mentions" list that would have made room for some of the older stories and at least a little love for the Legion.
Lmao imagine this, "Batman, we decided that you won't be needed in the JL anymore."
Batman: "K get out."
Superman: "Why?"
It's my watchtower which I also payed for."

Let’s be honest here, the best comics of all time are DC comics

I always loved Superman for All Seasons. It was everything pure and right about Superman, distilled, while still keeping him humble. I'll always remember a panel where a kid says his costume is cool, and Superman's reply is "Thank, my mom made it for me."
I think that panel is the greatest panel I ever seen. All seasons is definitely my favourite.

Crisis on infinite earth in my opinion is so god damn boring
The killing joke can tramatize you

Death of the family was more traumatizing
It’s completely horrible. Alan Moore better stick to The Watchmen. The Killing Joke was possibly thee worst Batman story ever written.

True.
That book was so bad Lol. I mean, Jim Lee's art is good but the story was not.

Kartik Vishnoi vertigo is a part of DC. It's on Variants list! It says on the book itself 'DC'

Shock horror at number one *yawn* Red Son above All Star Superman?! All Star dominates.
I mean, why would it be surprising to see the best DC storyline at number one? Won't just put something else for the shock factor alone. Kinda lame.
If that's your opinion fair enough, but if people think there hasn't been a better storyline since 82 for ANY character it's nostalgia and name value more than anything imo.
Some say it's not a ranking and even if it were it would be *HIS* ranking. Mine would include Secret Origin at the top, even above All Star.

I just love it that DC has an animated movie interpretation of some of these great stories. 👌
If anyone hasn't read Mark Waid's JLA - Tower of Babel, I encourage you to download it or get the collected edition immediately. The way it examines the personal dynamics of Justice League members is incredible. And the last few pages of the story are gut-wrenching.
I've come so close to buying it several times but the art always puts me off. Should I trudge through anyway?
@@richh6001 - Yes. The story is iconic. It is one of the few Justice League stories that reveals who these characters are in relation to each other. Most JLA stories focus solely on the team's impact on the rest of the galaxy.
Kingdom Come is my ABSOLUTE favorite DC story. Its up there with DC Universe Rebirth one-shot on how meta it really is.
superman birthright
Theodore Brunette Secret Origin >>> Birthright
I can dig it, many of these stories were written well enough and had enough of an impact to be made into animated movies.
Sweet, I've got two spots on your top ten! Thank you!
marvel has some catching up to do in comics 😂😂😂
Not really
@@fluffyssj2693 yes really
@@artsy_slade how so?
@@fluffyssj2693 DC beats marvel in comics ,animations, series, the only thing that marvel beats DC is cinematic universe, DC still released tons of comics till now 'Read DCEASED', darkseid war, crisis, jl the sixth dimension ,tdkreturns,new 52 to name a few, the only good comics marvel has is X-men and wolverine
@@artsy_slade actually it's only really in animation and video games, have you even read the infinity gauntlet by Jim starlin or infinty by Hickman? Plus comics shouldn't be related to there publisher but to the writers and illustrators because if a person writes a good comic for marvel and then writes another good comic for dc witch is a worse comic? You cant say that the dc comic is worse just because its made by dc
Darkseid War
Blackest Night
Red Son
These are the best books from DC

- Top 4
sure, you're one of those who think Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns are classics, aren't ya?😂😂
in reality, those two are shit, and this is coming from a batfan, especially The Killing Joke, overrated and with an overrated and overused villain
Kingdom Come
Watchmen
All Star Superman
The Dark Knight Returns
How are TDKR and TKJ "shit"?
BibbyBoxx2219 1). TDKR is the only reason batfans believe that Bats can defeat Supes and it is also one of the reasons why supes is considered less ethical and self righteous than Batman
2). The Killing Joke is half baked shit, simple, just coz it involves Joker's origin doesn't mean it has content, it lacks content, it's not epic, it's not complex either, forced complexity is another thing....why not put "A serious house on a serious earth" in the place of it....plus Joker has become an overrated and overused villain lately, with no new development (I don't count "three active jokers" as a development, DC is so busy with Doomsday clock right now that the three jokers storyline will run out of it's own hype
Rishabh Singh they could not see that superman was holding back during the entire fight

4. Green Lantern Blackest Night
5. Teen Titans The Judas Contract
6. All Star Superman
7. Batman The Long Halloween
8. Hellblazer Dangerous Habits
9. Superman Red Son
10. Watchmen
Kingdom Come :1
All star Superman :2
Long Halloween :3
"The Top 10 Superman/Wonder Woman Moments".
My favorite comic story is possibly "Watchmen & Kingdom Come".
I can get behind most of this except I'd swap out the Tower of Babel and put the long Halloween first
What about Green Arrow: Longbow Hunters?
That dollar shave club ad was impressive
I need to start reading these comics they sound amazing
*Bruce Wayne is Batman*
BRUCE WAYNE IS A WAYNE
"You're a living computer and you're the smartest man in the world. You're telling me you can't put four little words online?"
WTF BRO SPOILERS
No he's not. I'm.guessing it's alfred

"Ben Affleck's version of Batman going forward"
*Laughs in Future*
“The Sinestro Corps War is batter than All-Star Superman”
Me: -spits out tea-
Killing Joke is my #1, it’s what got me into comics as a kid and remains my favorite
Under The Red Hood is number one for me hahaha still love your list tho!
SB TMS it's under the hood, shows how much you like it
@@richurro20 soy much?
Second my tp of it says under the red hood
@@second1814 just because the original comics were called Under The Hood, doesn't mean he doesn't like the story... That's just being a douche for no reason. The original comics storyline was called Under The Hood, then they made the animated movie and called it Under The Red Hood, and then when the comics were put into a graphic novel, they did label that novel as Under The Red Hood. So he's not wrong just because he didn't know the old original name, and used the name that most people call it.
I knew it wouldn't be here but I was hoping for "The Darkness Saga" to be here. For Top 10 crossovers, "No Man's Land" has to be on there. I like how Arris mentions all the DC movies based on the stories except for "The Killing Joke."
All Star Superman only #8 wtf .
Ricky Wilson I know, that's literally my absolute favorite comic ever
Ricky Wilson they aren't in Order they are just 10 Great Comic books
It's also an opinion. No need to take it so seriously or so personally.
Halloweenman33 right on bro. It's an opinion
Ricky Wilson i think red son is better
Batman Hush is one best DC stories of all time .And The Dark Knight Returns is also awesome as well ,Even back in the day when it first came out | But cool as always Arris .
Personally I prefer “Heart of Hush”. It gave the character some much needed development that the original story for some reason didn’t bother with.
I was expecting flashpoint to be the first.. The story is genius and epic
Solid list. My Top 25 DC stories would be:
1. Watchmen
2. Dark Knight Returns
3. Kingdom Come
4. New Frontier
5. Crisis on Infinite Earths
6. Alan Moore's Swamp Thing
7. Levitz/Giffen LSH: Great Darkness Saga
8. Batman Year One
9. Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams: Green Lantern/Green Arrow run
10. The Longbow Hunters
11. All-Star Superman
12. Gotham By Gaslight
13. Green Lantern: Will World
14. LSH: Adventure Comics run
15. Batman/Mad Monk and Batman/Monster Men by Matt Wagner
16. Batman/Grendel by Matt Wagner
17. The Killing Joke
18. George Perez Wonder Woman
19. Azzarello/Chiang Wonder Woman

25. Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader by Gaiman
I'm really glad you gave credit to the artists as well as the writers.:)
“With that said, let’s take a quick break” skiiiiiiiiiiip
My favorite COMIC is Batman : Death Of The Family.
THE JG SHOW DOTF/Endgame is one of the best comics ever written. Scott Snyder is an absolute boss. That was probably thee best Batman run of all time. Paul Dini is still the best Superman writer of all but I think Snyder has surpassed on him on The Batman.
JG tbh I think that is a rlly great joker story and I can’t argue with u, I think it’s my favourite joker story I think.
Daz Davis I’d say Geoff Johns and Peter J Tomasi r better superman writers but Snyder is the best batman writer
Late reply I know lol but let's also not forget Crisis on Infinite Earth's and Infinite Crisis. Endgame was amazing, Dark Night Metal is another fantastic read.
Dc has some of the beat written comics of all time
1: Crisis on Infinite Earths (Anti-Monitor arrives to destroy the multiverse)
2: Knightfall (Bane breaks Batman’s back in a brutal battle)
3: Flashpoint Paradox (Barry Allen time travels and created his own time line)
4: Dark Knights Metal (Readers are introduced to Batmen from across the multiverse)
5: The Dark Knight Returns (A retired Batman is broken and unmotivated to fight)
6: Death of Superman (Doomsday threatens the world and kills Superman)
7: Green Lantern Star Trek (A crossover between my favorite series)
8: Judas Contract (A mole in the Teen Titans gives info to Deathstroke)
9: Batman: Killing Joke (Fans learn Joker’s origin; Joker injures Barbra)
10: Tower of Babel (Ra’s Al Ghul beats the Justice League with Batman’s plans)
Green Lantern / Green Arrow anyone?
Only reason it's not on here is because it is a team up
James Hust But it is a single run. If every hero wouldn’t be able to overlap at all, DKR wouldn’t be allowed here either.
Yes!
man I love all star superman story
best comic book story of all time
love superman
One book that I think is constantly overlooked, but incredibly deep is the Elseworlds title "Batman: Holy Terror". The art is just mid-90's "meh", but the writing and concepts are superb. Definitely worthy of a sequel.
My Top 10 list:
1. Watchmen
2. Batman The Killing Joke
3. Batman Hush
4. Green Lantern Sinestro Corps War
5. Teen Titans The Judas Contract
6. Batman The Dark Knight Returns
7. All Star Superman
8. JLA Tower of Babel
9. Kingdom Come
10. Superman Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow
Notable Mention:
A) Superman Red Son
B) Green Arrow The Longbow Hunters
C) Identity Crisis
D) The New Frontier
My Top 10 Favorite DC Storyline
10. Flashpoint
9. Batman : Knightfall ( where his back was broken by Bane )
8. The 52
7. Huntress : Cry for Blood
6. JLA : Crisis on TWO EARTHS
5. JLA : Tower of Babel
4. Superman / Batman : Apocalypse
3. Green Lantern : Blackest Night
2. JLA : Rock of Ages
1. Crisis 0n Infinite Earths
Kingdom come should have been number 2 or 1.
It was sooooooo good
Ikr
Flashpoint definitely deserves a place in the list. Litterally the most compelling story in the DC universe along with creating the biggest reboots ever.
Does DC rebirth #1 count even though it's only one issue? Eh, it's one of my favourites anyway, I love Scott Snyder's Batman run too even though that's a bunch of stories. Great list Arres, quite a few of my favs on there too.
10 teen titans when they were powerless against some of most ruthless villains
9 when batman constructed information on how to defeat every member of the justice league including himself and a villain got his hands on the info
8 All Star Superman: Clark only has a year left to live and how he goes about it
7 Yellow Lantern
6 Watchmen
5 Superman Red Son: great what if story
4 Kingdom Come: future dc universe where our heroes are old and the current ones are reckless
3 Flash Rebirth
2 Batman the Killing Joke
1 The Dark Knight Returns
I love the injustice gods among us story line all 5 years, it’s pretty underrated
Great list, but honestly Legion of Super-Heroes "The Great Darkness Saga" should have been on this list.
Amen.
Whoa
What about The New Frontier?!
And Countdown to Infinite Crisis?
And Sandman?!
Superman Red son is amazing!
10. Under the Red Hood
9. Evil Ring
8. Third Army
7. Killing Joke
6. Dark Knight Returns
5. Red Son
4. Brightest Day Blackest Night
3. Flashpoint
2. Injustice
1. Watchmen
I like that Flash story too bro but no way it outranks WATCHMEN, no way!!
Batman: The Court of Owls
Batman: City of Owls
Batman: Death of The Family
Dark Nights Metal
...Any story from Scott Snyder
Lalilulelo and Greg capullo batman looks amazing!
Finally an intellectual
I dug the hell out of Snyder's batman, but superhevy and bloom were weird as hell. Gordon being batman in a mech suit is fine, just the villians he fought were so odd it distracted me, and gordon's haircut without his mustache he looked like the same age as bruce.
I really thought you’re going to talk about Superman - The Man Of Tomorrow
Hell yeah. Love DC and this was a solid list.
"The Judas Contract" and "Watchmen" are two of my favorite DC stories.
I'm definitely on board and agree to Rebirth at number 3! One of my top favorite comic stories!
Watchmen should've been Number 1
Has anyone else noticed that most of the greatest comics are the ones where the villains almost win?
Legion of Superheroes: Great Darkness Saga
I agree with this list but there are some really Underrated Comics in DC
1. Wonder Woman The Circle
2. Shazam Geoff Johns (Amazing)
3. Batman Earth One Vol 2
4. Superman Birth Right
5. Batman year 1 (surprised this didn't make the list)
6. Superman Earth One
7. Wonder Woman Eyes Of The Gorgan
8. Wonder Woman heikeita
9. Superman Scarifice
And there are many more that never make these lists, that are really mature adult takes on these characters from the 90s
Watchmen should have been number 1. It's a masterpiece, the pinnacle of the comic book medium.
Batman is the world's greatest superhero!
Absolute Genius I agree
Yep. I think even superman knows this. But whatever, people are entitled to their opinions.
That title goes to The Punisher. Batman is just a pussy compared to Frank
I couldn't agree more 😄
The punisher is dope. More effective, more dangerous, but not smarter. If they went toe to toe he would be played and fall fast. Though batman wouldn’t kill him so that gives frank an infinite number of tries... that, given his experience, would most likely end in bats death. Would be a cool cross over. Batman vs punisher
DC has the best villian in Reverse Flash
You mispelled joker
Joker is pretty good at being a bad guy but RF just edges him out for the top spot and then it would probably be Darkseid they Ra's Deathstroke Sinestro Doomsday
Kingdom Come is My favourite!!!
KINGDOM COME is one of my favorite storylines ever!!!!
I've seen dark knight returns so many times, it's fricken amazing
All star superman is my favorite sups story
Dominic Love yea
do a dc vs marvel
Red Son will allways hold a special place in my heart, since its the first comic book I've ever read.
Um I'm watching this so I can get some insight on which comics to read. TRY NOT SPOILING THE STORY.
Iron man dies in all star superman
Would have liked to see an "honourable mentions" list that would have made room for some of the older stories and at least a little love for the Legion.
How on earth did The Long Halloween not make the list!?!?!?
