I started late on DC too. I started reading about 8 years ago and got all the important stuff out of the way. In my opinion, I'd skip the 50s stuff and go straight to the silver age.

I really hope WB get their act together with the DC movies. There's so much mythic potential in them, it's certainly a different feel than Marvel (which is cool, too, but I always felt closer to DC characters) and I'm not sure the lighthearted tone fits them even if it has massive appeal. There has been exceptions such as Shazam! (which btw had also darkness and heart), but more often than not they should feel mythical & larger than life. P.S: Please don't give Superman to J.J.

While it doesn't fit every character, someone once told me that DC heroes are heroes we look up to, while Marvel heroes are heroes we relate to.

[@thegreatrobin2329]

MrRoMaGi I like to think that as well. When it comes to DC’s characters the likes of Batman, Superman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, etc., gives off a sorta mythical and legendary status towards them like the Greek/Roman gods. However with Marvel characters, it heavily relies more on personal sympathy and sometimes even empathy towards the viewer; you expect heroes such as Thor, Captain America, the Fantastic Four, or the X-Men to be more distant and grandiose due to their power and influence but they are usually portrayed in the opposite by showing how easily they can be beaten down. Spider-Man is easily the best example of a character anybody can relate to.

I like how he's cringing at his past self, it's so meta.

I still get emotional each time someone showcases scenes from THE BEST FILM EVER MADE. Christopher Reeve's SUPERMAN is the best thing about my childhood!! PERIOD!!!!!

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

I'VE SEEN All Of Christopher Reeve'sSuperman!Movies At!Our Local Movie Theater 🎦 🎥 😳 😀 😐 😄!

[@ryankillpatrick]

such a great recount of modern mythology. So much spotlight on stories and energies and their creators who have one way or the other, influenced all of our lives. an emotional rollercoaster. but oh MAN I wanted to reach in and hug her at about 1:15:00. I really wanted to scoff at the emotion for a fictional character.......but I had exactly the same emotion back when that issue came out.......and every single time it's discussed since then......and especially feeling it from the POV of someone in the business of storytelling who regularly conjures imagery to elicit an emotional or sensational response! Artists see in 3...maybe 4 dimensions the EVENT they're expressing! She went all the way back to SMALLVILLE 1991 in that moment. I won't even tell you guys how I had to wipe a tear or two.....or 5..at this moment.

I can’t live without DC.:)

i love the FLASH,the Barry Allen one. I also like his original suit,it almost looks like the one from the flash cw series in season 6!

[@johnathan7258]

I don't remember clicking on a video so quickly 🤩

[@julianfrancis9714]

I hope DC gets to break free and do really innovative and daring things in the live action too, just like in the comics. First step get out of WB.

[@sliat1981]

All WB cares bout is Batman. Since 1989 it’s just been Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman. They’re going to put people off him. Give him a rest for a minute

[@ironjade]

I think Carmine Infantino deserved better than just a line in the end credits.

[@goodsaint_001]

No one beats Christopher Reeve in superhero cinema as a character.

[@zacharycollett5456]

Definitely agree

[@rdh9475]

BILL FINGER created THE BATMAN , Kane created the name that is it .

23:19 you can hear Ryan Reynold's tone change when he had to say Greeen Lantern.

DC Comics, I LOVE YOU #DCTEAM4LIFE 💜💙

[@juliachristinaheikamp246]

My old roommate from 20 years ago was the biggest comic collector I ever knew in person. He owned a fortune, each protected in a transparent sleeve, keeping his collection up to date with excel lists, he printed out to label the boxes. Of course, he spent lots of time in the only comic book store we had. I was fascinated, trying to understand more of that passion which he devoted so much time and money. I came to find it reflected so much about our world as we know it, and the world we desire to create, really. I liked Batman more, I am more of the sinister stuff, the Joker is a character that has enormous impact on all sorts of villain characters throughout the movie business as well as the writing business. Hard to find a character is more wag and deep down bad-crazy and sadistic than him. Shakespeare would have loved him, I am sure. This is one of the most essentials chapters of cultural as well as social education, for all those who like to investigate how creativity plays a part in human society.

DC Comics paved the way for Comic Book heroes.

[@Hiddenphanton17]

awesome documentary, kinda fitting timing that you guys posted this a week and a half after the passing of Deny O'Neil. He was one of my favorite comic writers. RIP sir and thank you for all the great stories.

[@k.delpino1124]

Last year was DC's 85th anniversary. I was hoping to see something like this. Really enjoyed it.

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Most underrated DC Hero: THE SPECTRE

[@markmolino6091]

Agreed

[@Metalbloodlord]

Most underrated comic of all time is Rick veitch's Brat Pack

[@John_808]

Actually superman and spectre were the first two characters of dc comics

[@cannoneer155mm]

This was a great and moving documentary on my boyhood heroes. Things have changed, some for the best, others not so much, but it still brought back memories and feelings of those early years of the 1950s thru the 1980s. I still gaze through comics, but not with the fervor I had as a kid.

[@leeparenzee2930]

This is the best documentary iv ever seen back then,i am so glad that its available for fans to see again..THANK YOU!!!!. Timeless Characters that puts a dahm smile on ones face

[@MrWarlock124]

I love love LOVE this, i watched it 10 years ago. Thanks for uploading this
