After I watched Superman, I totally went on a Justice League Tomorrowverse binge, and watched all of Suicide Squad Isekai, Creature Commandos, and the Harley Quinn show.
Next up - those graphic novels.

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

You should read DC One Million, especially if you plan on reading All-Star Superman.
It's kinda like a "what if" where if DC were to keep publishing comics monthly indefinitely, we'd be in the 853rd century when they get to 1,000,000 issues released. There are a lot of cool elements to the story, some fun art, and it's cool to think about the implications of their future society; which is so advanced, magic might as well be a study hobby for anyone from that era. It's also the first time Solaris is introduced.
I also really like the renditions for the Justice Legion Alpha, Superman One Million looks badass, Batman One Million is like Bruce's backstory on steroids, and Wonder Woman One Million is basically a living statue.
Gotta watch young justice.
Young Justice and the early-2000s Justice League and Justice League Unlimited are required viewing imo, even if you're not into superheroes. The stories they weave in those shows, all the character moments, they're so well done.
They literally had a rendition of Speedy's intervention in a season 2 episode of YJ. It's so good.
Probably should watch all dc animation honestly, shows plus movies. They are almost all great.
Have you watched kite man, hell yeah! ? Freakin awesome show.
The theatre near me actually does sell books and graphic novels, so whoever owns that place saw the money opportunity.
I like a lot of things about the movie and Superman comics like all star, death and return, injustice, kingdom come, multiversity, etc & it's great to hear the movie is driving some people to become interested in comic books.
But I find it really irritating when directors use talking heads & news reports, interviews, etc to convey plot and setting. It's like the old use of voiceover went out of style and instead of getting creative everyone went to talking heads & interviews like it's not the same thing.
