In the minority here but I really love characters like John Constantine and Zatanna.
I was born with a reading list I will never finish.

I could go the safe route and say "Batman" since he's my favorite superhero, but that's not very original or interesting. So I'm going to say my favorite DC character is The Shade, specifically the version that appeared in James Robinson's Starman series. The Shade was a super-villain with shadowy powers, but he held a special affinity for Opal City, Starman's hometown, and refused to commit any crimes there. He was a fascinating character; he was no hero, but his affinity for his city and his affection for Jack Knight (Starman) sort of made him one nonetheless. By the end of the series, The Shade was a full-fledged hero, albeit one with an amoral bent. And he was endlessly fun to read about.

I'm stuck between Alfred and Beast Boy. Alfred is sick, but underappreciated! He has great skills from his numerous experiences and a level head. Beast Boy has an interesting backstory and resulting personality, as well as pretty cool powers. I don't like Batman very much, so perhaps BB should win out.

It's really hard to pick favorites! I think I will always love Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman because they were the first heroes I encountered at a young age. But I am a huge fan of Green Arrow, Catwoman and Nightwing too.

Alfred is amazing! Some people really don't think about what it would have been like without him around lol. Beast Boy and Raven are my favorite Teen Titans throughout the generations, I think.

Honestly, it's a toss-up between Wonder Woman and literally every Batman villain to ever exist, lol. I have a soft spot for interesting villains, and for incredibly badass Amazonian warriors.

Oh, this one's easy. Barbara Gordon. I love all the Batgirls, but Barbara was my first and she's the one I've followed the longest.

Batman anytime because he is the one who made justice league and also has the plan to kill anyone who goes rogue.

I always thought Wonder Woman was amazing. She was strong, smart, resourceful, and beautiful!

Me too. I never read a comic if her though. I used to watch her on TV as a kid. I am not even sure if I ever read a DC comic or just saw them. They were hard to find. Superman, Batman and Robin were always the ones that I would watch if I got the chance.
