What DC schtuff will you jump for joy for in 2024?
More reading in DC Universe Infinite Library and more visit to the community board!
Watch Smallville, Batman The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, so I’m a old timer.
In all honesty I hope we can finally see Batman: Caped Crusader, can’t wait for the new Penguin Series and more new comic reading as well.
Batman’s big 3-5 is very high-up on my list too, as it and merchandise pertaining to it was my first step into the great, grand and glorious world that is DC.

Don’t tell nobodies, but…says the following in a hushed tone I still haven’t finished season 4 (I only have two episodes left, but I just haven’t had time for 'em as of late).
I already tagged you on this in Collector’s Corner, but I’m sure that as far as consumer products go, you’ll be in for this lovely piece of plastic:
Is there anything from the publishing side of the DC coin that’s floating your '24 boat yet?
Have you been reading the Wayward Son back-up in Green Lantern?
What titles are ya hyped for, Mr. President?
Same. IDK what its current status is, but it sounded like a cool show, so I hope its still coming along…especially since a debut during 2024 would serve as a nice tie-in to Batman’s 85th anniversary.
Likewise.
Now, let me pick your brain: Are you reading the Dawn of DC Penguin mag and if so…what do you think of it?
Any recently-announced '24 titles you’re particularly excited for?
Speaking of noteworthy omnibuses releasing in early '24, I’m kinda-sorta thinking of picking this delightful, readable doorstop up in March:
Well, I really enjoy reading Superman78: Mental Curtains, the first issue was really good, and like @DC89, I’m really excited to read Batman89: Echos!
More issues of World’s Finest: Teen Titans & Batman/Superman: World’s Finest, that’s as far as I know, I hope and would love to see alot more old archives comics on here, that’d be great to see!
And yes I have been reading the new Penguin series, love it, hope it’ll continue like the Joker comics.
I’ve just finish reading Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #21, I really like it, I think it was interesting, I just feel sorry for Superman.
As for The Penguin comic, I think it’s good, I hope it’ll continue to do well, I definitely need to reread it.
Speaking of uper Ultra reads, Superman #8 debuted today and it was good.
I’m hip-deep in WF #21 right now (don’t tell my boss, aka me, though ) and so far, its yet another enjoyable read in what is DC’s best ongoing, bar-none.
I’m holding off on reading it until the Penguin series debuts on Max. That way, I can simultaneously enjoy solo Penguin action on the page and on-screen.
For Tomorrow and Zero Hour are the ones I’m more excited for. The other two are new to me, and I think seeing the 20th anniversary label is a nice push for me to get reading on them
