Personally I’d say Super Sons is good. I’m currently reading through it when I have time. Both Jon and Damian are 10 and 13 at the start of it, so pretty close to the age range you’re looking for.

Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade
Honestly, actually a lot of DC’s titles are appropriate for that age range, though I’m not sure what this 12-15 year old’s parents’ would like them to be reading.

Sure, I started reading comics around 11 or 12 and one of the first books I read was Tom Kings Batman run and I turned out fine.

When I was 12, I was really into Superman comics. So I’d say anything Superman.

I know it’s been mentioned like 4 times, but I got into comics when I was like 13, and Supersons was what started the obsession.

I actually really, really dislike them, but I’m in the minority of internet fans. The book itself didn’t sell that well, though.

OH! How’d I not think of this sooner?!?!
Superman Smashes the Klan!
It’s my favorite comic of all time. The vocabulary and actions are definitely made for that age group. It has an over-arching message of Superman saving people from people and from people’s xenophobia. It’s a great way to teach kids acceptance, and it’s an amazing story. It’s also rated 12+.

Tom King did City of Bane right? I am an adult and that confused me like crazy. But I would say it could work for the 12-15 range.

It is! Kinda…
The Adventures of Superman (radio show) had a storyline that this was based on, but it’s not based on the entire radio show, just that specific storyline

Batgirl year one is a fine book to introduce youngsters to Batgirl and dc comics in general.

The others in the line - Robin Year One and Nightwing Year One - are also quite fun!
