I would suggest the ‘court of owls’ storyline. It was the first thing I read in a long while and was very quickly invested in it. Start with Batman (2011) #1 and continued in that series for a while. Don’t know off hand the other issues involved or if they’re in a collection here.

For Superman, try out Action Comics #866-870: https://www.dcuniverse.com/comics/book/action-comics-1938-866/2676d518-826b-47d9-8cc1-576968b12576

For Batman, try out Legends of the Dark Knight #16-20: https://www.dcuniverse.com/comics/book/batman-legends-of-the-dark-knight-1989-16/8557ae22-3d69-4832-bde3-447f97c3b868

For Wonder Woman, try out Wonder Woman (1987) #10-14: https://www.dcuniverse.com/comics/book/wonder-woman-1986-10/9e9fc268-61d4-4aa2-83ea-625a8c95c9b7

For Ambush Bug, try out Ambush Bug #1-4: https://www.dcuniverse.com/comics/series/ambush-bug-1985-1985/1bb06a06-85b4-40e0-ab08-d340c2acfd07

I think that about covers it.

If you need background knowledge before reading DC Comics

I suggest two videos

The documentary Secret Origins The History of DC Comics

The animated film Justice League New Frontier.

Don’t ignore the other great books. I heartily recommend JSA, both volumes. James Robinson’s STARMAN is 100% wonderful.

PLANETARY is worthy of standing next to WATCHMEN. Seriously. A true work of art.
“It’s a strange world.” “Let’s keep it that way.”
