What are your favorite stories, arcs, etc., from this period?
I want to know why you chose 1990-1994 and not 1990-1995.
Why are these periods not consisent. Why 1980-1984? Why not 1980-1985? '85 and some of '86 are Pre-COIE-reboot DC even.
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

this will always be the most underrated series.
Ah, 1994, first appearance of the torchbearer, the savior of the corps, the GL Jesus, ex white but now green again, the one and only KYLE RAYNER!!!
The start of Robin probably is the best and the beginning of spoiler.

Even though it starts in 89 the bulk of the run is in the 90's so the "5 Years Latter..." run of the Legion of Superheroes gets my vote. It was just so far ahead of what was going on with the regular DCU books at the time. It was almost a Vertigo version of the Legion in alot of ways. Not "weird" Vertigo but more mature. Keith Giffen and the Bierbaums were on fire with this run. Issues 1-38 still stand as one of my favorite runs off all time for any comic.
Static #1 from 1993. The first appearance of Static.

Superman ...
Death of, Funeral for, and Reign was a great trilogy.
Starman by James Robinson. One of my favorite series of all time.
