Hello, all! I’m currently looking for characters I should read and reading orders. I’m reading Superman (2016), Titans (2016), and eagerly awaiting the newest Green Lanterns! I’m up for any characters and where to start and go from there!

You are welcome
Super Sons is pretty good if you are interested in Jon after Superman 2016. But Robin: Son of Batman is a good read before you get into Super Sons.
@Behemoth.Ravenlord Thank you! I’m very interested in Super Sons. I’ll check out that Robin story first, though!
I’d say mix up some silver and Bronze Age stuff.
The GL/GA across America is s great storyline. Any O’Neil/Adams Batman story is a classic.
The Jokers 5 way revenge.
New Teen Titans from the start through the Judas Contract
Crisis on infinite earths.
A personal favorite would be the entire first two volumes of Birds of Prey.
But if you want bigger characters, then you could check out Mark Waid’s Flash run (‘87 series, starting with issue #64) or Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern ('05 series, starting with Issue #1 - also check out the ‘06 Green Lantern Corps series if you read this; I actually think Peter Tomasi’s work on GLC is better than Johns’ GL, but they’re both good series). George Perez’s Wonder Woman is a bit older, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s aged gracefully ('87 series, Issue #1).
If you’re good with older stuff, DeSade’s recommendations are pretty solid too, though I think New Teen Titans didn’t get good until the Judas Contract and hit its apex just afterwards with Terror of Trigon. Personally, I do enjoy old books to some extent (the dialogue can be kind of painful, but the history is interesting), and on that front, I highly recommend Jack Kirby’s work on The New Gods and Mister Miracle. The Forever People and his run on Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen are related, but not quite as good.
