What is your favourite dc series?
A series that never fails to entertain me and make me happy is 52. From start to finish it is just phenomenal. I am also a big fan of Hawkworld and Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol
Comics or animated series or tv series?
Comics- Super Sons. Just a fun overall series that really should have its own animated series.Could really use someone from the Wonder Woman family though...
Animated- Young Justice. An overall great series, and Greg Weisman once again made a masterpiece (he also created Gargoyles back in the 1990s).
TV- 1960s Batman series. Part nostalgia, part just a fun series to watch, even as a kid. Adam West showed that Batman didn't need to be a brooding jerk all the time.

Batgirl Vol 1 (#1-#73), starring Cassandra Cain, with the first run (#1-#37) being overall the best, but with plenty of other brilliant issues mixed into the rest. I love this series with all my heart and more.
Runner-Ups include: Peter David and Todd Nauck's Young Justice, The entirety of the Reboot Legion era, Impulse , Booster Gold Vol.2, Simone's Secret Six, Giffen/DeMattes' JLI/JLA, Anarky Vol 1, and the 1999-2006 JSA.
MANY other series I love as well, but this is the cream of the crop for me.
Currently? - Aquaman
All time favourite? - Flash Vol. 2 from Messner Loeb's first issue right up until Johns' final issue. From there it went down the shitter pretty quickly.
Others are: Grant Morrison's JLA run, Peter David's Aquaman, Mike Grell's Green Arrow, Gail Simone's Secret Six, Geoff Johns' Booster Gold, Ron Marz's Green Lantern and Beau Smith on Guy Gardner.
"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
Current Favorite: Super Sons and Superman
All Time Favorites: Batman and Robin both series pre-52 and New 52, Jonah Hex by Palmiotti and Dustin Gray, Booster Gold, and Birds of Prey by Dixon and Simone, finally Nightwing by Dixon, and Stephanie Brown's Batgirl series.
Justice League International. Five years of shameless fun.
"There's magic in the sound of analog audio." - CNET.
From animated side: Superman TAS, Batman TAS, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.
From books: i am a pretty new reader. I haven't got my hands on older runs. The ones i am trying have just about begun. Can't say about those.
From new ones: Superman, Action Comics, Super Sons. Can't say which of the three is my favorite. I will say all three.
The Black Mirror is my favorite arc, but series? It'll have to be Geoff Johns' Green Lantern; I know that's a cliche at this point, but it was the first series I completed start to finish.
Ostrander's Suicide Squad
Ed Brubaker's/Greg Rucka's Gotham Central
Gail Simone's Secret Six (Vol.1)
Palmiotti/Gray's Jonah Hex
Right now: Mister Miracle
All time: Final Crisis or Geoff Johns' entire Green Lantern run. Both were phenomenal.

right now: super Sons and Superman
All time: Grant Morrison Batman comics
Honorable mention: Darwyn Cooke comics, Paul Dini Comics, Hellblazer when it was at Vertigo.
That’s indeed a great series, still have a lot of them and was lucky to get them as they were hard to get in the UK.
Another great series, not to get mixed up with yours, was DC Special... First time I read any Gil Kane Green Lantern was in the reprints in these.

Also the Wanted series in the early 70’s did some great reprints of Golden Age and early Silver Age stories.
Current comics?
Tom King's Batman
Tom King's Mister Miracle
