Simple Question, who is your favourite DC superhero?

[robbieglenn]

I was thinking about this yesterday and wondered what are peoples' favourite superheros? For me, though I read alot of Batman, it has to be Atom Smasher. Dont ask me why, but ever since I saw him grow into a giant and grab Kobras plane and looked so pissed off I thought he was awesome.

So what about you guys?

[LordEd1976]

Alan Scott
Hal Jordan (I still his first words after returning to life in Rebirth.)

I also like Captain Atom before he went cuckoo and turned into Monarch.

[Alex Smith]

I've got to stick with Superman. He gets a lot of hate these days, it seems, but c'mon, he's Superman.

Wally West is up there too. We'll see how Johns does in making me care about Barry.

[Clea]

Batman. He's not just my favorite DC superhero, he's one of my favorite comics characters, period.

[Joe Acro]

The Flash. Wally is my favorite comic book character overall, not just in DC. There's just so much to like about him.

[celticguy]

green arrow

Liked Vic Sage's Question a lot too.

[$5 Milkshake]

It's hands down the Batman. He's my kind of pain in the ass.

Followed by Green Lantern (almost any of them really, it's the concept I've always been in love with) and Hawkman.

[cdarlage]

Wonder Woman

[Johnny_Luck]

Overall Wise its Huntress hands down no questions asked.

[AdamYJ]

You'd think it's a simple question, but for me it can get complicated.

My favorite post-IC hero is The Atom (Ryan Choi).

My favorite post-COIE hero is Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner).

My favorite Pre-Crisis hero is probably The Flash (Barry Allen).

You can probably tell I gravitate more towards the "regular guy/everyman" types, huh?

Anyway, my fravorites tend to change depending on which way the wind blows.

[Vidocq]

For me it's Batman with Superman coming at close second and Alan Scott at third.

[Augusto]

For me it's very simple: Superman. Batman second.
And in general, I enjoy more any DC Comic than Marvel.

[sHayden]

Batman. Though in two instances I'll say Wonder Woman and Catwoman, when both put down villains for a dirt nap that most certainly needed them.

[Greg Anderson]

I'd say Two-Face but then a bunch of folks would try to argue against me claiming he isn't a hero so I'll just say John Constantine.

[Phantom Druid]

Green Lantern ( Hal, Guy, or Kilowog ) and i'm hoping i'll be liking Freddie Freeman as Shazam.

[Spider-Flash]

has always been flash in all incarnations and other media's. seemed to me to be the spider-man of dc and i LOVE spiderman

[Sniper]

Huntress (Helena)

[TStrong]

My favorite superhero that will never be seen again? Tom Strong.

My favorite superhero that will be seen again but that DC will use badly? Lobo.

My favorite superhero that will still be read 50 years from now? Hal Jordan.

My favorite superheroine that will never be seen again? Promethea.

My favorite superheroine that will soon disappear from the shelves? Manhunter.

My favorite superheroine that will still be read 50 years from now? Wonder Woman.

[C-Cool]

Hero: Flash (Jay Garrick) or Connor Hawke.
Heroine: Power Girl or Cassandra Cain (Batgirl III). Whenever I'm a Supes guy one day or a Bats guy another, it's either one.

[Libaax]

Batman is the reason i started reading superhero so i go with Batman ;)

He is my alltime favorite superhero of them all DC,Marvel or whoever else.

Nightwing is the only close to Batman in DC for me.

[robbieglenn]

ive gotta say that its refreshing to see the diversity of peoples tastes. im not ragging on people who love the "holy three" cos im a massive Batman fan but its cool to see that people love lower tier characters.

[pariah-1972]

Hmmm 1.Batman i like his complexity and issues and his darkness.
2. Oracle i love smart librarians who wear glasses and are sexxy and funny.
3. possibley Huntress.

[Taskmaster]

Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, no question. Followed by Nightwing though

[hamish314]

Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Robin (Tim Drake). And Booster with honorable mention.

[Reptisaurus!]

Infectious Lass

[carabas]

Hitman by a long shot.

Also some minor wannabes like Batman, Oracle, Green Lantern (all of them, slight preference for Alan Scott).

Does Black Adam count? He was in the JSA after all.

[Seb-PFB]

[AbsurdistEmergence]

Have to go with Batman. I mean just look at right now: the Dark Knight film and Batman RIP have such different interpretations of the character and they're both entertaining and interesting.

[trsman2785]

animal man fo sho

[EJS]

The Huntress.

[aut0matic]

hal jordan. guy gardner and john stewart tie for second.

[Black Vespa]

green arrow.

[Wind-Breaker]

Nightwing, a great mixture of humor, womanizing, and ass kicking :biggrin: .

[Teh m0nk3y]

Jack Knight, Guy Gardner, Soranik Natu, Blue Beetle, Hawkman, Powergirl, and Booster.

[COMIC GEEK]

nightwing..............

[tejpis]

Apollo & Midnighter by Ellis.

[Alexx1]

Overall Wise its Huntress hands down no questions asked.

For me as well.

[Starpiper]

Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes, though Ted Kord was pretty cool too) is probably my favorite, with the Green Lantern following closely on his heels. Which GL? Hard to say...I think I may just honestly love them all.

Recently, though, I've been liking Supergirl more and more. Can't explain why, but she's been really growing on me as of late.

[Batgirl]

Hm....that one's hard. I have quite a few favorites. My all-time favorite is The Ravager(Rose Wilson.), though. Followed by Barbara Gordon, then Black Canary and Green Arrow tied, but with BC slightly ahead.

[hondobrode]

Hawkman

Azrael

Orion

Brainiac 5

[HaroldAllnut]

ive gotta say that its refreshing to see the diversity of peoples tastes. im not ragging on people who love the "holy three" cos im a massive Batman fan but its cool to see that people love lower tier characters.

I'm sure my choice will thrill you then, robbieglenn.

I've always had a passion for Loose Cannon. I don't know why. I just like idea of a crippled cop becoming a big blue-skinned, blonde behemoth.

For those of you who aren't familiar with my new-blooded fave, he's this guy:

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/4/65819-11252-98816-1-loose-cannon_medium.jpg

Blue was his default color, but he'd change colors depending on how he was feeling:

animal man fo sho

I just read Morrison's entire run on the title in a 3-day span and man oh man, he's pretty damn awesome. They both are.

In terms of other heroes, I'm particularly fond of Martian Manhunter (rest in peace, J'onn), all of the Starmen (except for Will Payton, who I never really read about) and good ol' Impulse (rest in peace, Bart).

The big three are, as always, fantastic... but not just as fantastic as Loose Cannon.

[tkitna]

Powergirl.

[Raker616]

Green Lantern Hal Jordan, was my favorite hero when I was a kid and is still my favorite hero now that i'm an adult.

[DayWing]

Nightwing for sure.

[Bat-Reader]

Batman hands down
then Catwoman, Batgirl (Cass), Nightwing.

it's hard to choose i like them all. except Tim's father. :biggrin:

[Batgirl]

Aww, poor Jack Drake. What'd ol' Jack ever do to you? :tongue:

[Charybdis4]

Nightwing, Catwoman = sexy & stylish!

[brundlefly]

.....

What? :biggrin:

The man's a hero, dammit! Just ask him; he'll be the first to tell you! He's got his flag pin on and everything, so you know he's a patriot!

Anyway, given Lex's disputable 'hero' status, I'd go with Batman, followed by Jack Knight/Starman and the current incarnations of Mr. Terrific and Dr. Midnite.

[Nevets F]

Donna Troy and Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)

[EZMOHR]

Wally West. W/O a doubt, the best hero ever.

[Chemical King]

Leaving out the Legion of Superheroes (never could say who was my favorite in this great bunch of people), I would go for Starfire. Even though they badly mistreated the character since the middle of the 90s...

[celticguy]

Lot OF GL love I don't get it. Seems to be the most boring character(s) of all the major names there is.

[DeTroyes]

A lot of you are going to laugh, but...

Hero: Gar Logan (Beast Boy)
Heroine: Raven

At this moment, these are the only two character who, if they were permanently killed off, I would seriously consider dropping comics altogether. Which probably is the best benchmark I can think of for "favorite".

Honorable Mentions: Blue Beetle III, Starfire

[aut0matic]

Lot OF GL love I don't get it. Seems to be the most boring character(s) of all the major names there is.

nope, that would be superman for me... GL imo is the most interesting concept DC has ever come up with.

[Pól Rua]

Okay, first, the holy trinity of awesome characters:

Captain Marvel (the proper one, though admittedly, the guy I like was never published by DC... oh wait, they DID do reprints... so yeah, fair enough)
Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
The Flash (Jay Garrick)

After them, there are a bunch of characters I'm just plain fond of:

Starman (Jack Knight) - though I think that was more to do with the quality of the series.
Adam Strange - ditto. Love the character. Hate most of the incarnations.
Challengers of the Unknown - Conceptually strong, but with a lot of weak stories.
The Metal Men - Some characters you just wanna give 'em a big ol' hug.
Detective Chimp - just say it with me. Detective. Chimp. How can you not love it?
Wildcat - Always been a big fan, but I like him as the Golden Age palooka. Anytime people give him super powers or anything, I can't stand. 9 Lives? bleh? Heavyweight boxer who puts on a cat costume and pounds the bejeezus outta people? Hell yes.
Hard to pick a favourite Legionnaire, but I usually like Ultra Boy, followed by Brainiac 5 and then Bouncing Boy.

[Armadillo]

Lot OF GL love I don't get it. Seems to be the most boring character(s) of all the major names there is.

:eek: How can you say that? It's such a great concept, and when writen right they are such an awesome characters!

[Vlad]

Green Lantern (Hal)
Flash (Wally, but receptive to Barry)
Green Arrow
Jonah Hex

[Killing_Joke88]

Batman and Flash (Wally West). No one else even comes close.

[jesse_custer]

I like Batman, Starman (Jack Knight), and Green Arrow.

[celticguy]

:eek: How can you say that? It's such a great concept, and when writen right they are such an awesome characters!

Kyle can be somewhat interesting given the artist angle and Guy as a hot head warrior is fine as a secondary character but I just don't get it. The rings is a very cool weapon and most of the time they are just flying around wasting it. Also the aliens stuff just leaves me cold.

[Sanlear]

Superman still holds a fond place in my geeky heart.

[MutoMikey]

Well, I think mine is a little obvious...

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n267/muto_mikey/rockimpulsemontage.jpg

He's the only character that I see as ME if I had superpowers. If I had to pick a superhero from DC to write for the rest of my life, Bart Allen would be it. As someone on these boards once said, "he's pure kid on christmas morning joy embodied"

[DannyV_El_Acme]

You know, lately I became a big fan of Martian Manhunter, especially since I started watching JLU on Boomerang. His death actually hit me pretty hard, I was surprised to realize.

[AdamYJ]

As someone on these boards once said, "he's pure kid on christmas morning joy embodied"

That was me who said that. :biggrin:

I should also say that I'm a big fan of the Young Justice kids, but I don't like them as much after they became the Teen Titans.

Oh, and my favorite Legionnaire is Bouncing Boy.

[taozen]

When I was a kid it was Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and I believe he still is.

[MutoMikey]

That was me who said that. :biggrin:

Ah! Thank You! One of the best descriptions of Bart I've heard. :biggrin:

[DannyV_El_Acme]

That was me who said that. :biggrin:

I should also say that I'm a big fan of the Young Justice kids, but I don't like them as much after they became the Teen Titans.

Oh, and my favorite Legionnaire is Bouncing Boy.

Yeah, Young Justice WAS a pretty awesome team. I definitely miss Conner, I liked him more than I did Superman :frown:

[Schornforce]

For me, it depends on how they're written.

I also like anti-heroes (Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Bizarro, Riddler, etc.) but I think I'll just list my top fave straight-up heroes:

1. Impulse- geez, I miss him. I totally agree with MutoMikey's sentiments.

2. Wonder Woman- I always liked that she seemed to combine aspects of both Superman and Batman and still was a unique character in her own right-- when written well.

3. Martian Manhunter- Again, a sort of underrated combo of Supes and Bats with a distinct flair all his own.

4. Plastic Man- I like the fun characters.

5. Oracle- I guess I just think she's smart and interesting.

[AdamYJ]

Yeah, Young Justice WAS a pretty awesome team. I definitely miss Conner, I liked him more than I did Superman :frown:

I miss the old cocky, flirty Kon from back in the day. It's nice to have superheroes who actually enjoy the trappings of their position sometimes.

[Hawkman]

Gee, wonder who I'm going to say. :smile:

But yeah, Hawkman's been my favorite superhero ever since my mom bought his Super Powers figure for me way back when, and one of the first comics I can remember from my childhood was the Shadow War of Hawkman mini. The imagery is very appealing to a kid, I think: imposing guy with wings and a mace. He just looks plain cool. It's his attitude that's kept me a fan, though, Hawkman typically portrayed as a character that's more of a doer than anything else, unafraid to stand up to foes or even allies regardless of their status or level of power if he believes his cause is just.

[robbieglenn]

Wildcat - Always been a big fan, but I like him as the Golden Age palooka. Anytime people give him super powers or anything, I can't stand. 9 Lives? bleh? Heavyweight boxer who puts on a cat costume and pounds the bejeezus outta people? Hell yes.


Me and you should be friends.

[Dagger]

Hmm..my top two favorites of the big names are:
Flash(Barry Allen)
Green Lantern(Hal Jordan)

I didn't grow up reading them, I actually got quite a few of the silver age stuff off of ebay, but they just spoke to me from those stories. Idk why.

I also have a very fond affection for:
Zatanna, Fire, Ice, Elongated Man, The Atom, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, the original new teen titans, Green Arrow, and Black Canary.

[mightyness]

It is so hard to choose just one favorite. So here are a few of my favorites.

1) Dick Grayson (Nightwing, Robin)
2) Hal Jordan
3) Cyborg ( But the new mini-series is god awful)
4) Will Payton ( Starman in his original incarnation)
5) Bruce Wayne (Batman)

[dupersuper]

DC's chalk full of great characters, but Superman has been my fave since I was a little kid watching Super Friends and playing with my Super Powers action figures. Good times...

[Captain Smith]

Spectre, Hal as GL, Supes, Dr. Fate - in that order

[jeangreydp]

Superman all the way.

[Lupek]

Hal Jordan the Green Lantern

[Dagger]

Superman all the way.
lol. Liz, your avatar is sooo cute!

[HeroWard]

While I've always liked the Justice League as a whole, I've got to say my favorite is Superman. My father took a weekend off as a kid and we watched his collection of Superman movies and cartoons and I got hooked.

And the more I read of his character, the more I like Wally West as Flash.

[Ilash]

Simple question, simple answer:

Wally West: The Flash.

[guyjo]

Three way tie between Superman, Batman and Hal Jordan, Green Lantern! :cool:

[shaxper]

Dick Grayson

[Den]

Currently I'd have to say Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

Though I really love the whole GLC concept

[KryptonMan]

Superman!!

[rbenchley]

Jack Knight

[Superheroic]

Hal Jordan!

Oh and great avatar rbenchly! One of my first customs!

[Ontir]

Mon-el.

I've always loved the character and it's nice to have him back after such a long absence.

[Guttenburg]

Green Lantern. The whole freakin crew, really.

Honestly, I'd have to echo the sentiment of everybody here speaking of the GLC just being a downright cool concept. Only within the past year I've really started reading comics, coming in with relatively a blank slate as far as any pre-knowledge of the characters or their universe, but GL automatically jumped out as just completely engaging on every level.

I don't know how much of this is Geoff Johns doing, or how intact this all was before he got there. It's gotten to the point now where next paycheck I'm planning to dip back into the Silver-Age trades, because I can't wait for new issues any longer.

On a final note, I think DC is nuts not to consider a GL movie in the wake of Batman's recent success. Taking nothing away from Superman(who is also obivously an awesome character when done right), I feel the public will have a sort of "been there, done that" reaction to yet another reboot. Even if it's successful, I just don't think that it will create the same level of excitement as a character(group of characters)the general public is relatively unfamiliar with. Now that the CGI has caught up to the concept, Green Lantern, to me, has serious potential to be a HUGE hit. Seriously, you mix Star Wars with Lethal Weapon/Men In Black- what can go wrong?

[theNighteye]

Female-Batgirl
Male-Batman


but 99% of them are great! its hard to choose

There's really nobody close after that.
