Flash Family - no question.
Although, I would happily align my family with the Arrows and keep the North free.

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
the Titans and the Lanterns are tricky for me. they both are definitely distinct franchises/collectives of characters, but I'm not entirely sure if they feel like the same kind of collective as say the Batfamily or the Arrow family. I feel when it's a family of characters they kinda of have a "parent" character (Batman, Aquaman, Mr. Terrific, The Flash, etc.) who kinda anchors the collective identity of the group and then the other characters sorta play off those principles and build that legacy; Titans and GL feel more like ensembles rather than this kind of traditional "family". Titans typically feel more like different members from various "families" throughout the DC landscape (same with Young Justice and Justice League) but, at the same time, Green Lantern is a similar kinda of ensemble but they're so uniformed that it does sorta fall into these vague family parameters in spite of the ensemble nature of the brand; so I can't really say House Oa isn't a valid option.
I would say the group needs a head or "lord" ( **** it, gonna go full Game of Thrones here for a bit. 'llow me) character leading the House for it to be a family in this context. so I guess Titans and the Lanterns wouldn't be considered families but moreso general institutions like the Brotherhood without Banners or the Nights Watch (keeping with the GoT analogy) .
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."
I'd want to explore the Fortress, so I'm going with the House of El.
Would vote Bat-Family too, but it depends on which incarnation. I'd totally chill with 70s Bruce, Dick and Alfred, but i'd give the current crew a wide berth.
Themyscira would be great, but...penis lol. So I'd stay out unless invited.
Depending on which iteration, one could argue that the Titans are more of a family than some of the families on this list. But I get what you mean.
So in that case, I'm going with the Batfam. Top notch martial arts training AND getting to be close friends with one of the richest and smartest people on the planet. I'm pretty much set for life with them.
Shazam Family is a close second though. They seem like they'd be a lot of fun and those powers would be REALLY useful.
Bat Family all the way. Batman's always been my #1 superhero. That won't ever change.
What? No House of Mystery? I'm all about that ooky spooky magic life without the goody two shoes nature of the House of Captain Marvel.

If I can’t choose Doom Patrol or Titans then I’d go with the Shazamily! Such a great group that actually feels like a family
I know, so am I (agnostic).
I still contend it is too risky a strategy and one I would not employ. As Spider-Man's slogan goes "with great power comes great responsibility". I'm not going to put the lives of others in jeopardy to prove a point. Can I give them their lives back, no, so do I have a right to gamble with them? Now, if I tricked Doomsday into fighting me somewhere where we are alone (I can control the battlefield) sure, but otherwise, it's a big hell no.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
I'd love to say the Aquaman Family but it'd be a lie.
Probably the Wilsons, or the Anarky/al'Ghul/Ivy Family more realistically.
I mean, the Arrow FAmily could make sense, but being around such a bunch of Centrist/Soft-Right family would be hard for a Leftist like me

It isn't to prove point. It's about an ideal.Great responsibility is not part taking in violence that self perpetuates. Moreover, that speech is for a selfish kid who didn't want responsibility But all the power. Not superman .Violence isn't something that can be condoned, even when "hero" does it. Moreover, Superman gambles with lives of people with his no kill rule. I mean, people didn't want superman killing zod when the guy was actually going to end humanity. So people want superman to uphold an ideal. Well, non-violence to any creature is the greatest ideal a man could hope to be.
House of El for me. Would enjoy being apart of Nightwing's fam tho since Dick is my favorite hero.

I picked the Shazam family. Not because I'm a big Shazam fan, I prefer the Supes and Bats, but honestly I feel like an Uncle Dudley. Like I don't know the character that well, but what I've seen that seems like my speed of superhero. And I like kids so it works out.
