Probably late Post-Crisis and Post-Zero Hour. Tim Drake and the Young Justice team were in their prime!

Post crisis, then pre crisis, then post zero hour. The rest not so good, rebirth is alright.
Without question Rebirth.

Pre-Crisis, Post-Crisis is a close second. Everything else, IMHO, is not worth reading. New 52 was utter rubbish. Although Rebirth is growing on me.

Since Post Crisis and Zero Hour are essentially the same continuity I have to lump them together and that is my favorite time period.
The New 52 just tried too hard, however to this day I love the fact that Barry Allen caused The New 52.
Rebirth has corrected the mistakes from The New 52 and hopefully DC has learned their lessons and we wonāt have anymore reboots.

Maybe because of my age (51),but itās definitely Pre-Crisis. I grew up on the original JLA, which led to Superman, Batman, and my biggest favorite, LSH. I bought the Crisis on Infinite Earths on the newsstand as it was coming out, (Cumberland Farms in Atlantic Highlands NJ), canāt thank that owner enough. He kept issues aside for me while I was away at college and have them for me when I came home once a month. I enjoyed the Post-Crisis for awhile but once I got married and had kids, it was hard to justify spending $50-75 a month.
Now my kids are adults and Iām happily diving back in. I really enjoyed Flashpoint and Identity Crisis. Looking forward to the later books. I hope we can get more books, I would support something similar to Marvel Unlimited.

Definitely Pre-Crisis/Bronze Age. Those are the ārealā versions of all the characters for me.

Post Crisis is what I grew up with but honestly I love anything prior to the New 52. Rebirth has had some great stuff but at the end of the day itās still not what we had.

Post-Zero-Hour. Best version of Poison Ivy, introduction of Harley Quinn, No Manās Land, Gotham City Sirens, reformed Riddler.
@dartnj that is so cool that you are getting back into it now, especially growing up with the pre crisis comics, you must have a really interesting view on the current DC Universe!
For me post crisis, specifically post zero hour, is my favorite DC era. But I like to pick and choose from different eras in my head canon sometimes

@DickBats Yeah, same here. Post-Zero-Hour, but I like to think of Rebirth as part of it, so Harley amd Ivy can be closer.

I consider Zero Hour part of the Post-Crisis era. So Post-Crisis 1986-2011

Rebirth, because everyone feels so developed.
Would be post-crisis, but to be fair I havenāt read much from the New-52 period on, so am probably partially biased as that was the era when I was in high school and got into comics.
Everything Post Crisis
and man I really loved alot of the New 52, especially Batman and Justice League.
Hey @DanTheManOne1. I was also in high school during prost-crisis. And Iāve read most of New-52 (I was pretty excited when it started coming out). But I have to say, most of what I read simply wasnāt that good.
Maybe thatās harsh. The stories were good, but the universe was not. There really wasnāt much cohesion between books. And that was one of the major selling points for me as a kid. I still love going to the back issues and reading a story that winds its way through multiple books.
But that overall editorial direction simply isnāt there in the New-52.
I think the best way is to know as much as u can about all. I read what predated me as much as possible thru what DC has now. This site was the 1st X I could actually afford & have a lot of each era at my disposal. So Iāve been absorbing all I can from each era. Seeing the development & changes in characters is almost like following a movie franchise if not exactly. Itās fun to pick a character/ team & follow them as far as u can. Itās like multiple movies all under one giant flag.
