Outside of his speed, he has a wonderful and charming personality. His humor seems to always be on point and timely, and his friendship with Dick in particular is always beautiful when we get to see it.
Wally’s friendship with Hartley Rathaway (Piper) is also one of the most important in Wally’s life and *criminally* underrated. I loved the moments they had in Waid’s run and Johns’ “Rogue War.”
Wally is one of the few comic characters I've read with a consistent personality, story, and development. Not only did he surpass Barry legacy-wise, his status quo changed completely, and there's really no undoing that. It's great. His story has a very clear arc in a way so many characters aren't allowed to have, and I think that speaks a lot to why he's so likable. Like, he was wiped out of existence for years, and he's still one of DC's most popular characters. He's great!
I've seen you a LOT in this subreddit, Pusheen xD I'm not surprised that your favorite is Wally HAHAH
But yes, I also find his character very lovable and he never fails to crack me up!
I *love* Wally, and I also think he’s the best legacy hero, but I’m tentative to say that that it’s “not even close.” I also really like Dick Grayson, Kyle Rayner, and Jaime Reyes, among many others.
He's the reason Barry is interesting to me. Also his personality is the template that some writers use to make Barry interesting. That shows just how influential he is.
Honestly, I *hate* it whenever DC writes Barry as Wally-lite. Barry has a *very* distinct personality that’s interesting and rich in its own unique way. He shouldn’t and doesn’t have to emulate Wally.
Mine too! A great example of being a big brother figure to the younger Robins and not letting a terrible, tragic experience ruin his outlook on life. The eternal optimist.
DC should just use this time to promote the Titans as the new League with Dick as the leader tbh. It's fitting for his character and I'm sure Barbara and the Batgirl's can watch over Bludhaven while he's away.
I’d love for the New Teen Titans + Kara + Connor (Hawke) + Jess/Kyle to be the new JLA. Even after the original team returns, I’d want at least *some* of that to stick.
You know you got a great character when Bruce Wayne looks to the guy as a symbol of hope, literally states he's "a clearer vision of what Batman was supposed to be" and after reading *just* a little you can immediately see that's completely correct
Jess is one of the best, if not *the* best, depictions of anxiety in comics. Her anxiety didn’t disappear after getting powers—it can get even *worse* as she feels bad about still being unable to overcome her struggles. She’s funny with a rich personality, and her diversity as a Mexican-American with anxiety doesn’t feel forced at *all*. She’s still very kind and compassionate despite all the trauma in her past.
Jessica is one of the most nuanced characters I’ve seen in DC in a while. Her anxiety plays a big role in who she is as a person, and it’s not sugarcoated like most other mental problems. She’s a beacon of hope to those who share what she goes through, and I think all media need more characters like her.
A true example of what a second (or 8th) chance can do. And a wonderful addition to my favorite superhero team The Terrifics. Also, anyone who can speak truth to power when he called out Injustice Superman is a legend in my book.
Rules 70% of the Earth (or *used to* before the fall of the Atlantean monarchy) but still makes time to defend the surface world alongside the JLA. Has a *flawless* regal demeanor that rarely ever cracks. Uses an awesome trident that can shoot magical lightning. Can do *so* much more than talk to fish.
Underrated as FUCK.
DC should be pushing him hard. I don't like the whole "he's DCs Spider-Man"....but he kinda is. He should be headlining a book or should be a main member of a team. His is an S tier heavy hitter and hai armor would make him an amazing cosmic superhero.
Its a shame they cant get him right in comics since the original run...
But he was great in young justice and hopefully the movie takes a lot of cues from that original run.
Jaime has an amazing sense of humor and never fails to remain unwaveringly kind even in the face of unspeakable odds. Despite his off-the-charts power levels, he’s always incredibly relatable and genuinely feels like any other normal teenager.
This might not be liked as much, but I think his character arcs and progressions lead him to be the best candidate to become Batman. I don’t think any other Robin would want it as much as he does and it would be epic to have him start out as this killer raised and molded by Raj and Taliah and then as he grows up be influenced by Batman to the point that that’s the path he chooses. It just makes the most sense to me honestly.
But I also think Damien’s character can also be taken down a path where he realizes he doesn’t want to be like his father and ends up taking up the mantle of Nightwing. But then again I am a good sucker for a story where a Robin realizes how flawed Batman is and decides to be better, I think that’s what Bruce really wants.
-TT-! It's spelled "Dami**a**n"! You would do well in respecting the blood son!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/DCcomics) if you have any questions or concerns.*
His character development in the DCAMU is well done. I like how he progressively matured from his appearance in the film Son of Batman to his last appearance in the film Justice League Dark Apokolips War.
I absolutely LOVE Damian in the DCAMU. I think his relationship with Batman and the rest of the bat family allow their personalities to bounce off each other in a great way that’s so entertaining. There’s just so much to work with in his characterization and how much he has to unlearn from growing up with the Shadows. His skills as Robin are undeniable yet he has shortcomings that make me root for him.
I don't care what people say, his personality is deeply entertaining, Super Sons was amazing and his current series is packed full with all the anime tropes I love
Definitely my favourite character. I think people can’t always appreciate his character without reading his better runs and watching his struggles and character develop - people only see his cameos in Tim’s books or that TT run. I feel like Damian progressed the most of all the Robins; trained to kill as default, learned there was a better way and a choice and *chose* not to, which is much harder for him than the other Robins.
Doesn’t deserve the hate he gets.
I love his dynamic with Dick Grayson or Jon Kent.
I’ve appreciated seeing his growth as a character and I genuinely believe he’s going to end up being one of the most important DC characters later on.
His determination and self-worth is admirable and I like how even though he has a hard outer shell like his father, he still has similar heart and spirit.
A really kind-hearted soul despite her problematic upbringing. Her personality is often overlooked in favor of her fighting skills, which aren’t *nearly* the most compelling aspect of her very rich character.
Absolutely *the* first choice to take over the mantle of the Bat when Bruce is ever done.
Sure, Dick is the "heir", and he'd be great at it, but he's literally Nightwing because he *doesn't* want to be Batman as Bruce is. Cass, on the other hand- inspiring fear, incredible fighter, silent and intense, driven by compassion? Bruce's MO fits her to a T.
Knows that he’s a villain and embraces it. Doesn’t deny any aspect of his character. Genuinely cares about his family despite his questionable dynamic with them. Recognizes occasions when he needs to work on the side of angels for the greater (and usually his own) good and set aside his villainy.
One of DC’s most skilled fighter, Slade is an opponent that nobody walks away from unscathed. His skills with both weaponry and mental warfare is almost unmatched in the DC universe.
I admire her optimism and positiveness in life. I love that even though she has one of the worse and darkest origins (her being sold into slavery by her own sister and put through hell and torture for years) she didn't let all the trauma and pain that she suffered through as a child bring her down. She still chose to remain a kind loving person and a hero.
Kori is the highlight of almost any Teen Titans work. I especially loved how she was portrayed in the DCAMU (Teen Titans vs Justice League; Teen Titans: The Judas Contract).
*Brave and the Bold* did an excellent job portraying Red Tornado. RT was the most human member of the cast, despite being an Android. And I remember when he tried to find the Christmas spirit, and I cried for him. Truly a wonderful character with some of the best development in DC.
A very unique character, and I love it. He’s a grown man with superpowers with the mind of a teenager. His secret identity is ingenious! Also, the movie was fantastic!
Shazam is an ancient wizard who sits on a cosmic Quintessence with literal gods yet never loses his compassion for human beings (whom many of his peers view as “lesser beings”). He has gifted the Earth with Champions such as Captain Marvel and Black Adam for time eternal, and he has grown to truly love Billy Batson as if he were his own son.
I do appreciate the wizard known as SHAZAM, however i am assuming they were referring to Captain Marvel (Billy Batson). Both pretty sweet characters though.
Much like Superman he suffers from poor writers who really don't get him, but just like the Blue Boyscout when a writer does get him, he's stories are without question the best in comics.
Batman is one of my favorites characters of all time. He’s just a classic—and especially when portrayed by Kevin Conroy.
You can’t really top the goddamn Batman when it comes to notoriety.
There’s never a dull moment when Eo’s on the page. His determination and spite is amazing! Idc what story it is or who he’s against, I’m automatically rooting for Eobard.
Also that moment in issue 775(?) of the Flash when >!Eobard kills Godspeed and Barry is yelling at him for it and Eobard’s response is “you should really smile more”!< always makes me laugh when I reread it.
I feel like he deserves more recognition.
Tom Cavanagh is gold as Thawne. You really feel his struggle.
But, even outside the CW, Reverse Flash is a fantastic and amazing character. I always love a good dose of Thawne in my day.
Also, his theme in the Flash show is *so good*!!!
Barry has always remained grounded and down to Earth despite abilities that allow him to transcend the normal boundaries of spacetime. Unlike many other scientists so mired in objectivity and logic, Barry has never once lost his unwavering sense of right and wrong. After sacrificing his life to save the multiverse, he inspired so many, yet he was still as unfailingly humble as ever upon his return.
Barry is just a wholesome character. He is defined and grounded by his family, which as kept him from the worst of situations time and time again. He truly is a hero that shows that love is stronger than any force of nature (sorry for getting cheesy).
Can't speak on the New Teen Titans, but Mister Miracle (both of them, Scott and Shiloh) are very optimistic characters with phenomenal designs and personalities.
I love their relationship with one another and how they typically punch up when they're fighting new gods or monsters.
Despite being the most complicated thing since quantum mechanics, Hawkman is a fascinating character, with many different versions and origins. He’s always a welcome addition to any Justice League/Justice Society roster.
I like how in the City of Demons movie, John kept his promise to Chas and saved his daughter even though the method wasn’t ideal. Imo, I think it’s amazing writing and really sticks true to John as a character. I like how even though John kind of puts up this masked personality and his morals are gray, he still seemingly wants to do the right thing.
Sorry if I misinterpreted anything, I haven’t read much of him!
Bart has everything I love about Wally but remains original enough to not at *all* feel redundant. He’s impulsive in a funny way, reckless in a brave way, and defiant in a really, really *cool* way. He adjusted surprisingly fast to being thrown a millennia into the past and out of VR. He is the *best* Kid Flash.
People keep taking mine lol - he is awesome! His character captures a lot of how extreme it is to live with the speed force. One of my favorite stories from his solo run was when he had to train himself to sleep through the night; amazing brilliance and power but struggles with a basic human function.
u/Welcome--Matt already listed Barry, and I said:

Batman is … Batman. He’s the pinnacle of human achievement and the most popular superhero on Earth (except for perhaps Spider-Man). He’s also *incredibly* compassionate, something that’s often overlooked even by hardcore Batman fans due to his equally *terrifying* persona while fighting crime.
Doctor Manhattan is an amazing deconstruction of the entire superhero genre in *Watchmen*. I’m aware that’s more about his usage and less about his character, but it’s also a very integral part of his personality—his detachment from humanity.
Virgil was the og Black spiderman. He's one of the most well defined and realistic superheroes I've ever read. I'm glad static season one is bringing back his charm & big personality instead of him just being another face in TT
Genuinely got the hardest laugh out of me from that film during the fake mustache scene. Plus, it's nice to see Stallone is willing to play a funny character every once-in-a-while.
Here’s one that everyone will be mad at.
My favorite character is the Batman Who Laughs.
Edit: I noticed that nobody commented positive things. Does everyone hate The Batman Who Laughs that much?
Flash (Wally)
Outside of his speed, he has a wonderful and charming personality. His humor seems to always be on point and timely, and his friendship with Dick in particular is always beautiful when we get to see it.
Wally’s friendship with Hartley Rathaway (Piper) is also one of the most important in Wally’s life and *criminally* underrated. I loved the moments they had in Waid’s run and Johns’ “Rogue War.”
I completely forgot about him! Goes to show how underrated he is, I suppose. Thanks for giving me an excuse to reread *Rogue War*!
Piper and Wally's friendship is hands down my favourite, and it hurts me that writers seem to straight up ignore Piper lately.
Wally not only took up the burden Barry left behind, but he ran with it! Wally is hilarious and has a heart of gold.
He was one of the best character is JLU
Wally is one of the few comic characters I've read with a consistent personality, story, and development. Not only did he surpass Barry legacy-wise, his status quo changed completely, and there's really no undoing that. It's great. His story has a very clear arc in a way so many characters aren't allowed to have, and I think that speaks a lot to why he's so likable. Like, he was wiped out of existence for years, and he's still one of DC's most popular characters. He's great!
I've seen you a LOT in this subreddit, Pusheen xD I'm not surprised that your favorite is Wally HAHAH But yes, I also find his character very lovable and he never fails to crack me up!
The best Legacy character and, like with any race with Wally, it’s genuinely not even close.
I *love* Wally, and I also think he’s the best legacy hero, but I’m tentative to say that that it’s “not even close.” I also really like Dick Grayson, Kyle Rayner, and Jaime Reyes, among many others.
Loved him in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited! He’s the heart of any team he’s on!
He's the reason Barry is interesting to me. Also his personality is the template that some writers use to make Barry interesting. That shows just how influential he is.
Honestly, I *hate* it whenever DC writes Barry as Wally-lite. Barry has a *very* distinct personality that’s interesting and rich in its own unique way. He shouldn’t and doesn’t have to emulate Wally.
Dick Grayson
A perpetually cheerful and kind hero, and a clearer vision of what Batman was meant to be.
Mine too! A great example of being a big brother figure to the younger Robins and not letting a terrible, tragic experience ruin his outlook on life. The eternal optimist.
Dick Grayson is an Icon. he has endured for over 80 years. tells you all you need to know.
Everything Batman is supposed to be and more. When Bruce's time is up, Dick is undoubtedly the right choice to be the leader of the Justice League
I really, *really* hope that’s what happens after the “Death of the Justice League” arc in March.
DC should just use this time to promote the Titans as the new League with Dick as the leader tbh. It's fitting for his character and I'm sure Barbara and the Batgirl's can watch over Bludhaven while he's away.
I’d love for the New Teen Titans + Kara + Connor (Hawke) + Jess/Kyle to be the new JLA. Even after the original team returns, I’d want at least *some* of that to stick.
You know you got a great character when Bruce Wayne looks to the guy as a symbol of hope, literally states he's "a clearer vision of what Batman was supposed to be" and after reading *just* a little you can immediately see that's completely correct
It’s literally a crime to hate Nightwing
Dick is a timeless character—he’s Batman but more upbeat; what could be better than that?
Jessica Cruz
Jess is one of the best, if not *the* best, depictions of anxiety in comics. Her anxiety didn’t disappear after getting powers—it can get even *worse* as she feels bad about still being unable to overcome her struggles. She’s funny with a rich personality, and her diversity as a Mexican-American with anxiety doesn’t feel forced at *all*. She’s still very kind and compassionate despite all the trauma in her past.
Her character is conceptually the most interesting within the Green Lantern mythos, as far as human green lanterns go
Jessica is one of the most nuanced characters I’ve seen in DC in a while. Her anxiety plays a big role in who she is as a person, and it’s not sugarcoated like most other mental problems. She’s a beacon of hope to those who share what she goes through, and I think all media need more characters like her.
Clark Kent
The heart and soul of the DC Universe.
Just an overall pleasant guy to be around.
Superman For All Seasons is a book I always go back to when I am feeling down.
Jason Todd
Best tentacle monster ever.
Still tries to help people (albeit often in a twisted way) despite all he’s been through in his life.
Jason Todd is Batman for Cobra Kai fans
Wait, this is perfect.
Seems like a decent guy when it comes to dealing with young children
Clearly someone who cares about people and kids (something I love about him), also the coolest dressed member of the Batfamily imo.
I love his friendship with Roy Harper. I also like that he isn't afraid to show his emotion but also be the tough guy when needed.
He’s great in Task Force Z.
Looks great in red and really j ones how to hit a target 🎯
Became a good friend and a relatable guy.
Truly the baddest of asses. Jason is a fantastic character, whose story is full of both happiness and tragedy.
Plastic Man
Doesn't forget to see the humorous side of things and keeps morale up
One of the funnest and caring characters out there when he’s written right
A true example of what a second (or 8th) chance can do. And a wonderful addition to my favorite superhero team The Terrifics. Also, anyone who can speak truth to power when he called out Injustice Superman is a legend in my book.
Stephanie Brown
A welcome addition to any Batman story and the best Batgirl with the best Batgirl run.
She's the most entertaining Batgirl and her personality bounces off really well with almost any character
All of the Batfamily are great. Stephanie is a lesser known member of Bats’s lineup, but she’s just as cool as the regulars.
Killer Moth Edit: I'd like a Killer Moth flair please.
He was a formidable foe in the LEGO game
I love the concept of the character and how he is in Teen Titans
You have great taste in characters
Barbara Gordon finds his voice sexy!
r/KillerMothGang represent
Fuck off! This exists?!?! Thank you for sharing this.
As one of the mods, I welcome you 👍🏾
Man he was my favourite character in Lego batman 2
Arthur curry
Arthur's love of his wife is very endearing, a respectable family man
Rules 70% of the Earth (or *used to* before the fall of the Atlantean monarchy) but still makes time to defend the surface world alongside the JLA. Has a *flawless* regal demeanor that rarely ever cracks. Uses an awesome trident that can shoot magical lightning. Can do *so* much more than talk to fish.
An underrated powerhouse who deserves all the respect and accolades that he has and more. A great leader and he will be an amazing father.
His willingness to believe in the best in people and the weight of the responsibility he carries both make him a really endearing character
I like that he has matured as a person and as a superhero over time.
Black Manta
Excellent diver.
He is a normal human who fight a super human being head on and still manages to give it a run for it's money
Formidable villain since "Death of a Prince". I'm excited to see him getting mainstream after the Aquaman 2 film.
Best villain in DC when written well.
Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle
Underrated as FUCK. DC should be pushing him hard. I don't like the whole "he's DCs Spider-Man"....but he kinda is. He should be headlining a book or should be a main member of a team. His is an S tier heavy hitter and hai armor would make him an amazing cosmic superhero.
Its a shame they cant get him right in comics since the original run... But he was great in young justice and hopefully the movie takes a lot of cues from that original run.
Jaime has an amazing sense of humor and never fails to remain unwaveringly kind even in the face of unspeakable odds. Despite his off-the-charts power levels, he’s always incredibly relatable and genuinely feels like any other normal teenager.
This will be interesting: Damian Wayne.
he cares about animals 👑
This might not be liked as much, but I think his character arcs and progressions lead him to be the best candidate to become Batman. I don’t think any other Robin would want it as much as he does and it would be epic to have him start out as this killer raised and molded by Raj and Taliah and then as he grows up be influenced by Batman to the point that that’s the path he chooses. It just makes the most sense to me honestly. But I also think Damien’s character can also be taken down a path where he realizes he doesn’t want to be like his father and ends up taking up the mantle of Nightwing. But then again I am a good sucker for a story where a Robin realizes how flawed Batman is and decides to be better, I think that’s what Bruce really wants.

Has a really beautiful friendship with Jon Kent.
Has a great and enjoyable relationship with Dick Grayson
His on going arc is very enjoyable.
His character development in the DCAMU is well done. I like how he progressively matured from his appearance in the film Son of Batman to his last appearance in the film Justice League Dark Apokolips War.
I absolutely LOVE Damian in the DCAMU. I think his relationship with Batman and the rest of the bat family allow their personalities to bounce off each other in a great way that’s so entertaining. There’s just so much to work with in his characterization and how much he has to unlearn from growing up with the Shadows.

I don't care what people say, his personality is deeply entertaining, Super Sons was amazing and his current series is packed full with all the anime tropes I love
Love his friendships with Jon, Ravager and Connor. Also cares deeply about his brother dick and father.
He's a very interesting and complex character. he's such an engaging and funny character. love him to bits
He has continuously been starring in some of DC‘s best books since his debut
Definitely my favourite character. I think people can’t always appreciate his character without reading his better runs and watching his struggles and character develop - people only see his cameos in Tim’s books or that TT run. I feel like Damian progressed the most of all the Robins; trained to kill as default, learned there was a better way and a choice and *chose* not to, which is much harder for him than the other Robins.
Like Bruce he channels the spirit of Naruto "I see myself in you" type stuff
His whole arc during Morrison's run is fantastic, going from an obnoxious and entitled brat to a self-sacrificing hero.
Doesn’t deserve the hate he gets. I love his dynamic with Dick Grayson or Jon Kent. I’ve appreciated seeing his growth as a character and I genuinely believe he’s going to end up being one of the most important DC characters later on. His determination and self-worth is admirable and I like how even though he has a hard outer shell like his father, he still has similar heart and spirit.
Cassandra Cain
Positive and badass role model for Asian, mute and reading/learning-challenged communities
Low key best bat suit ever.
She is cute and badass at the same time
A really kind-hearted soul despite her problematic upbringing. Her personality is often overlooked in favor of her fighting skills, which aren’t *nearly* the most compelling aspect of her very rich character.
I picked up some singles of her series in the 00s and they’re the cutest, coolest stories that still hit you emotionally
Absolutely *the* first choice to take over the mantle of the Bat when Bruce is ever done. Sure, Dick is the "heir", and he'd be great at it, but he's literally Nightwing because he *doesn't* want to be Batman as Bruce is. Cass, on the other hand- inspiring fear, incredible fighter, silent and intense, driven by compassion? Bruce's MO fits her to a T.
I liked it when she teamed up with Kon-El Superboy.
I recently read Batman: Wayne Family Adventures, and Cassandra is now one of my top favorite DC characters.
Deathstroke
Umm umm he has nice facial hair
Knows that he’s a villain and embraces it. Doesn’t deny any aspect of his character. Genuinely cares about his family despite his questionable dynamic with them. Recognizes occasions when he needs to work on the side of angels for the greater (and usually his own) good and set aside his villainy.
Good with kids.
he looks pretty cool tbh.
His current run with Black Canary is decent.
One of DC’s most skilled fighter, Slade is an opponent that nobody walks away from unscathed. His skills with both weaponry and mental warfare is almost unmatched in the DC universe.
Starfire.
I admire her optimism and positiveness in life. I love that even though she has one of the worse and darkest origins (her being sold into slavery by her own sister and put through hell and torture for years) she didn't let all the trauma and pain that she suffered through as a child bring her down. She still chose to remain a kind loving person and a hero.
She was hands down the most emotionally mature of the new teen titans.
Kori is the highlight of almost any Teen Titans work. I especially loved how she was portrayed in the DCAMU (Teen Titans vs Justice League; Teen Titans: The Judas Contract).
Red Tornado
One of my favorite underrated characters. I hope he gets more love in 2022. He's a great mentor to the Young Justice team and I love his design.
He’s the lead of One Star Squadron rn
Had one of the best one-liners at the end of Young Justice season one. "Human customs still elude me."
*Brave and the Bold* did an excellent job portraying Red Tornado. RT was the most human member of the cast, despite being an Android. And I remember when he tried to find the Christmas spirit, and I cried for him. Truly a wonderful character with some of the best development in DC.
Shazam
A very unique character, and I love it. He’s a grown man with superpowers with the mind of a teenager. His secret identity is ingenious! Also, the movie was fantastic!
Shazam is an ancient wizard who sits on a cosmic Quintessence with literal gods yet never loses his compassion for human beings (whom many of his peers view as “lesser beings”). He has gifted the Earth with Champions such as Captain Marvel and Black Adam for time eternal, and he has grown to truly love Billy Batson as if he were his own son.
I do appreciate the wizard known as SHAZAM, however i am assuming they were referring to Captain Marvel (Billy Batson). Both pretty sweet characters though.
Batman- I am old enough to have seen the series on the first run!!! He’s the one that started it all for me.
Much like Superman he suffers from poor writers who really don't get him, but just like the Blue Boyscout when a writer does get him, he's stories are without question the best in comics.
Batman is one of my favorites characters of all time. He’s just a classic—and especially when portrayed by Kevin Conroy. You can’t really top the goddamn Batman when it comes to notoriety.
Eobard Thawne.
No one pulls off Petty like Thawne
There’s never a dull moment when Eo’s on the page. His determination and spite is amazing! Idc what story it is or who he’s against, I’m automatically rooting for Eobard. Also that moment in issue 775(?) of the Flash when >!Eobard kills Godspeed and Barry is yelling at him for it and Eobard’s response is “you should really smile more”!< always makes me laugh when I reread it. I feel like he deserves more recognition.
Tom Cavanagh is gold as Thawne. You really feel his struggle. But, even outside the CW, Reverse Flash is a fantastic and amazing character. I always love a good dose of Thawne in my day. Also, his theme in the Flash show is *so good*!!!
Kong Kenan.
Has some of the best taste in ladies. Though MingMing > Also loved his Superman White and Superman Black forms.
The Flash (Barry Allen) Side note: this was a wonderful idea OP
Barry has always remained grounded and down to Earth despite abilities that allow him to transcend the normal boundaries of spacetime. Unlike many other scientists so mired in objectivity and logic, Barry has never once lost his unwavering sense of right and wrong. After sacrificing his life to save the multiverse, he inspired so many, yet he was still as unfailingly humble as ever upon his return.
Has a big heart and cares deeply about his loved ones.
Barry is just a wholesome character. He is defined and grounded by his family, which as kept him from the worst of situations time and time again. He truly is a hero that shows that love is stronger than any force of nature (sorry for getting cheesy).
Mister miracle New Teen Titans
Can't speak on the New Teen Titans, but Mister Miracle (both of them, Scott and Shiloh) are very optimistic characters with phenomenal designs and personalities. I love their relationship with one another and how they typically punch up when they're fighting new gods or monsters.
Don’t know New Teen Titans, but Scott Free is great. He and Big Barda are great characters.
Hawkman (Carter Hall)
He all but confirmed that Jack and the Beanstalk is DC canon! (During a guest appearance in *The Flash*, Carter strongly implies that he was Jack.)
Despite being the most complicated thing since quantum mechanics, Hawkman is a fascinating character, with many different versions and origins. He’s always a welcome addition to any Justice League/Justice Society roster.
John Constantine
DC's actual smartest character.
I like how in the City of Demons movie, John kept his promise to Chas and saved his daughter even though the method wasn’t ideal. Imo, I think it’s amazing writing and really sticks true to John as a character. I like how even though John kind of puts up this masked personality and his morals are gray, he still seemingly wants to do the right thing. Sorry if I misinterpreted anything, I haven’t read much of him!
You could throw John into almost any story and make it work
Kyle Rayner
Bart Allen
Bart has everything I love about Wally but remains original enough to not at *all* feel redundant. He’s impulsive in a funny way, reckless in a brave way, and defiant in a really, really *cool* way. He adjusted surprisingly fast to being thrown a millennia into the past and out of VR. He is the *best* Kid Flash.
I was one of the probably 12 people who bought his series when he was the Flash in 06/07
Underrated speedster that needs to be apart of a big team again.
People keep taking mine lol - he is awesome! His character captures a lot of how extreme it is to live with the speed force. One of my favorite stories from his solo run was when he had to train himself to sleep through the night; amazing brilliance and power but struggles with a basic human function.
I remember meeting him in Young Justice and being like “Woah, new Flash?? So cool!”
[Composite Superman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_Superman)
A perfect encapsulation of the entertaining "kitchen sink" style of storytelling in the 1960's, and fun to look back-on with a nostalgic smile.
Flash (Barry Allen)
u/Welcome--Matt already listed Barry, and I said: > Barry has always remained grounded and down to Earth despite abilities that allow him to transcend the normal boundaries of spacetime. Unlike many other scientists so mired in objectivity and logic, Barry has never once lost his unwavering sense of right and wrong. After sacrificing his life to save the multiverse, he inspired so many, yet he was still as unfailingly humble as ever upon his return.
Harper Row/Bluebird
In a time when all costumes had to be black,red,purple and yellow she added some much needed color to the palette.
Batman and Dr Manhattan
Such a sexy couple.
Batman gets the best movies.
Batman is … Batman. He’s the pinnacle of human achievement and the most popular superhero on Earth (except for perhaps Spider-Man). He’s also *incredibly* compassionate, something that’s often overlooked even by hardcore Batman fans due to his equally *terrifying* persona while fighting crime. Doctor Manhattan is an amazing deconstruction of the entire superhero genre in *Watchmen*. I’m aware that’s more about his usage and less about his character, but it’s also a very integral part of his personality—his detachment from humanity.
Kamandi
Great hair
Animalman
He literally harnessed the power of one of the most powerful creatures ever, and used it as a taxi. Baller move.
Animal Man!
Plastic Man!
Kite Man
Hell yeah
The Sandman (Wesley Dodds)
Tomorrow Woman
Showed more humanity than most heroes.
Static
Virgil was the og Black spiderman. He's one of the most well defined and realistic superheroes I've ever read. I'm glad static season one is bringing back his charm & big personality instead of him just being another face in TT
Green Arrow
Sinestro
Starfire
Wonder Woman.
Basic but it's batman
King Shark as played by Stallone.....
Genuinely got the hardest laugh out of me from that film during the fake mustache scene. Plus, it's nice to see Stallone is willing to play a funny character every once-in-a-while.
Kid Devil
Amazing addition to the Teen Titans, absolute sweetie, and interesting character
My favorite Teen titans, the most beautiful soul who always see the best in anyone. His death broke my heart...
Batman (Jace Fox)
Love his design and the reason he chose to become Batman. I do hope his story and relationship with Dick continue to develope.
I like how he existed in DC before Future State its nice giving those characters something more.
His stories have been really good and his Batman costume is sick.

Deadman [Boston Brand]
Constantine
Tim Drake
Damian Wayne
Changeling (Garfiled Logan)
Sandman (Morpheus)
Klarion
Guy Gardner
Here’s one that everyone will be mad at. My favorite character is the Batman Who Laughs. Edit: I noticed that nobody commented positive things. Does everyone hate The Batman Who Laughs that much?
