I'm trying to go back through the comics but can't seem to find it reading through my collection or looking it up online. I remember that Martian Manhunter had collected data on the other heroes, and it got used against them. Like, secret identities and stuff like that. He mentions having dossiers as well during the old JLA tower of Babel story. I'm trying to remember when this takes place, which comics it is that Martian Manhunter collects the data, and the fallout of it being stolen(if there was a fallout. I could be completely misremembering...). Was there a story like that?
Hi, first like to say that I do know what Earth 2 is and the JSA is without a doubt my favorite DC superhero team, but when it comes to classic reading I don’t really know where to start for pre crisis on infinite earth reading for the JSA, Infinity Inc, and the alternate Superman and Batman. As of right now I only know All Star Comics: Only Legends Live Forever and Huntress: Origins that I could get on Amazon when they are available, but beyond that I’m stuck. So anyone know where I should start or even just essentials I should read.
Thanks for any and all help, I appreciate it.

Just wanted to say thanks, I picked up vol 1 and 3 of Crisis on Multiple earths, my local shop didn’t have vol 2. I also picked up All-Star comicsnly legends live forever which actually collected both of those volumes of Justice Society you mentioned. Thanks again for the recommendations and hopefully I’ll pick up more later.

Hellblazer: Original Sins
Swamp Thing by Alan Moore
I mean, real original answer here, but I finally got around to reading Mister Miracle by Tom King and I cannot recommend it enough.
I've always wanted to get into Legion of Superheroes but with so many reboots and series not sure where to start. What stories do you recommend?
I don't really know much about the team but here is a guide:

Batgirl 2009 is an excellent read!
