Which versions of DC Characters do you like better as other versions?

[Masterff]

Hello,
I would like to ask who do you like better in a different version (TV Show,Anime,Pre-Flashpoint,NEW52,Rebirth etc. etc. etc.)

Mine are:

Supergirl:
I prefer her Pre-Flashpoint.
She looked better, was very pretty.
I loved the friendship with Cassie,her training with the Amazons etc. etc.

Cassie Sandsmark:
I prefer her Pre-Flashpoint origin and attitude.
I liked her there better because of her being DAUGHTER of zeus and her having the lasso of lightning.

Conner Kent:
I LOVE the Johns Conner Kent version.
He had great feats,I liked his look and his attitude.

Cat Grant
I prefer the Pre-Flashpoint version of her.

Arsenal
His Rebirth Version was a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT for me.
I prefer the Arsenal with the daughter who also had a very cool attitude.

Young Justice/Teen Titans:
Young Justice in Pre-Flashpoint had great storylines, many great supporting characters like Traya and a great Team with Empress,Secret etc.

I started reading DC characters either on Earth-One Pre-Crisis or when they were created Post-Crisis. So by default a lot of my favorites are Pre-Crisis.

I prefer the Batman who actually wasn't emotionally damaged beyond repair. The Bronze Age guy who had more trust than paranoia towards his JLA teammates. The guy who didn't have the perfect defense in his utility belt unless he had a logical reason to (no Bat-Shark Repellent for the .001% chance a shark would pop-up during a battle in mid-town Gotham, no "I never leave the cave without my Green-K ring"). A Batman who might have planned a JLA assault on Darkseid but would have been Hunger Dog food if he went toe-to-toe with ol' Stoneface.

I prefer Clark as Superboy (not Conner or Jon), but the Clone-of-Steel was better before he got Lex as a donor and Kryptonian powers. I prefer his powers to look like Superman's but operate entirely differently (tactile TK field rather than super-tough skin, psionic strength not sun-charged muscle tissue ...) And while he answers to Conner or Kon-El he is independent of Superman in Hawaii or with Young Justice rather than under the Kents in Smallvile or the League as part of the Teen Titans.

And i swear there was a Cat Grant who wasn't a b*tch. Someone who was maybe not on the same level of skill as Lois, but was an actual reporter as opposed to a sex-kitten (Lois & Clark TV show), ball-busting media goddess (Supergirl TV show) or some combination of both (Pre-Flashpoint and recent Supergirl comics).

And i miss the Pre-Crisis Barry Allen whose adventures involved super-speed but did not revolve around it. No Speed-Force. Had a normal happy childhood. No Speed Force. Had a happy marriage. No Speed Force. Often defeated his Rogues using real-world science. Did i mention how his adventures didn't revolve around the Speed Force and other speedsters.

I like Young Justice animated versions of Artemis Crock and Jade Nguyen the best.

I also preferred Perez's version of Steve Trevor.

I love the 1991 cartoon Swamp Thing (don't get me wrong, the comics are awesome too).

Partly it's nostalgia (the cartoon was my introduction to the character after all) but I also like that the cartoon version, while powerful, has more vulnerabilities and weaknesses, and isn't the god-like entity he is in the comics. I've never liked the whole "Invincible Hero" trope.

Same for Abby Arcane (again don't get me wrong, comic Abby is an angel and I adore her), but I love how in the cartoon Abby is never a damsel. She never needed to be saved throughout the series (in fact she saved Swamp Thing's life in episode 4) and was often vital in stopping Arcane by providing crucial information.

I liked Martian Manhunter as a creation of the White Martians.

The other Green Martians never existed and all his memories are false.

I thought that was a fresh take on the character.

I like Young Justice animated versions of Artemis Crock and Jade Nguyen the best.

I also preferred Perez's version of Steve Trevor.

That's not surprising. YJ Artemis simply has more appearances than the comic version, to the point that when her VA was hired, she'd assumed from the character description that she was Arrowette from the YJ comics.

Oh boy, there are a lot actually.

There's the TV version of Vibe, for example. The original version was a broad stereotype and kind of a joke. The later one was too bland and didn't have enough personality. The one on The Flash played by Carlos Valdes hit the sweet spot (well, at least for a few seasons).

My favorite versions of Hawkman and Hawkgirl are the Silver Age versions. And it seems to me that they're not among the more popular versions. When people bring up their favorite Hawkman, it's usually the revamped Golden Age one from JSA with his endless supply of past lives. Or it's the super-gritty Hawkworld version with its depiction of a corrupt alien society. But the Hawks who are police officers from a borderline utopia where the only criminals are thrill-seekers, who talk to birds and chose to stay on Earth aren't really high on many lists. But I like all the quirky little bits of them. At least people probably like them better than the Hawk-avatar version.

Favorite Flash: probably Silver Age Barry Allen. The true everyman of the era. Not because he "had problems" like Spider-Man but because of what problems he didn't have. He wasn't an orphan, wasn't royalty, wasn't a billionaire, wasn't an alien, wasn't a mythological figure. He was just a regular guy with powers who wanted to help.

My favorite Aquaman is probably the one from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, who's part Hercules, part bombastic, boastful sailor. I do also like the early Silver Age version too, though. From when he was the protector of the seas but not king of Atlantis yet. I'd rather Aquaman were out adventuring and helping seafarers than sitting on a throne.

Favorite Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner. I know he didn't have the best villains or supporting cast (unless you like heroes who only hang around other heroes) back when he was the main guy. But I still just love how the ring was recontextualized as a tool of creation rather than a weapon of destruction. A cosmic paintbrush, so to speak.
