The “vigilantes should not be judge jury and executioner” and “how do vigilantes know they’re guilty?” are two sides of the same story.
If vigilantes should not be judge jury and executioner, it’s because they cannot reasonably know with 100% certainty who is guilty and who isn’t, because they are human, one person, who cannot know everything with absolute certainty especially in cases which they are not witness to.
For one example of this being used effectively in canon, see Cold Days, Batman Volume 3 /2016 #51-53, by Tom King.
Because it’s this exact reasoning as to why Bruce Wayne trying to convince a jury that Mr Freeze is innocent is so important. Not just because the Jury has placed Batman on such a high pedestal as to think him incapable of human error, aka believe in him like he is a god, but because Batman is human and Bruce knows this and is willing to admit it when he fucks up.
That is so essential to understanding Bruce Wayne’s no kill code. He knows he makes mistakes, he sometimes gets too angry and makes assumptions, he knows he cannot be certain someone is guilty all the time, or that he is always correct, so he doesn’t play the role of Executioner because he would never risk killing an innocent.
It’s also why it’s extremely frustrating when he acts like he knows exactly how something is going to turn out and then the story proceeds to act like he was right all along. Batman being wrong about someone on occasion is important for his character, not just because it can give him hope in certain situations but because it humbles him and reminds him why he clings to the No Kill code.
(I have another post in the works that goes into detail about why Batman Cold Days is actually a terrible story even though I like it’s base premise, but I thought it best not to add it here and clutter the place up.)

ULTIMATE SUPERGIRL READING GUIDE
since i've been asked a few times in the past for various reading guides for kara, i thought i'd compile them all into one post for the sake of convenience!
this guide has reading orders for supergirl comics in PRE-CRISIS (1959-1985), POST-CRISIS (2004-2011), NEW 52 (2011-2016), REBIRTH (2016-2021), and INFINITE FRONTIER (2021-present).
if you have any questions at all don't be afraid to shoot me an ask!
for each section bolded comics are required, italicized comics are recommended, and everything else is optional!

Notable kids Jason knew in his childhood.
In no particular order. Realized I did kind of put them in order from post to pre Robin era.
Rena (Detective Comics 561 / 563-565)
Pre-crisis Jason's girlfriend. They met in high school after Jason was adopted by Bruce. They were both the new kids and found companionship with each other.
Numbers (Batman: Gotham Nights 11)
Briefly lived together at Ma Gunn's. Numbers took punishment in Jason's stead because Jason was kind to him. Jason saved him in return, as an adult, from an assassin.
Gabby Christensen (Red Hood / Arsenal 4)
Homeless kid, along with Jason, who looked out for Jason before he was adopted by Bruce. Would comfort and try to tend to his injuries despite him lashing out.
Max Dawkins (Truth & Justice 10)
Ran with Jason when he was homeless. Jason notes that Max looked after him like a brother and Jason considered him he best friend. Jason would leave money for Max to find after he was adopted. Lets just ignore the fact he was created just to be murdered, he is still alive, fuck you DC.
Dana Harlowe / Strike (Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) 51-52)
Possibly Jason's oldest friend. Dana's father seem quite familiar with Jason, recognizing him as an adult and remembering him fondly. Dana took up the name Strike to help defend her neighborhood during the Joker War and later fought with Red Hood to save her sister, Denise
Jason was also friends with Edward Bloomberg (Kid Devil) who he was pen pals with, mentioned in the Blue Devil comics. And Roy Harper (Speedy ((at the time)) starting from the New 52 series. Didn't add them because I was focusing on friends outside of the hero life but they deserve the mention.
These are all the ones that I know of. If I missed anyone, feel free to add them!
#Jason Todd#Red Hood#Dana Harlowe#Strike#Max Dawkins#Gabby Christensen#Numbers#Rena#DC#Batman#these characters are so important to me

THE NEW AND IMPROVED CASSANDRA CAIN READING GUIDE
Cassandra Cain is the daughter of assassins David Cain and Sandra Wu-San (better known as Lady Shiva), and was raised by Cain. She is an expert hand-to-hand combatant, and able to read body language to the point of interpreting complex thoughts, but learning to communicate better through speech and text. She has operated as a vigilante under the names of Batgirl, Kasumi, Black Bat, and Orphan, and is currently sharing the title of Batgirl with Stephanie Brown and Barbara Gordon.
Basic Reading

I have not had any help with this and got the information from multiple other sources. Because I've had no help, no one has proof checked this so there might be some errors.
If you notice any errors or know of anything I've missed please let me know and I will fix the error as soon as I can!

Mia "Maps" Mizoguchi Reading List
Last Updated: 24/4/2024
A list I have decided to make for the purpose of compiling the various appearances so far of Maps Mizoguchi; since she is a character I like whom has also been receiving some focus as of late. I will also provide some brief description/thoughts for each one.
Gotham Academy (2014-2016) - All Issues
Maps of course first made her original appearance in the first run of Gotham Academy.
Gotham Academy: Endgame (2015) - #1
A one-shot comic which was one of several tie-ins made for the Endgame event which was going on at the time. Basically just shows what Maps and the GA crew were up to while Gotham was being overrun by Joker zombies.
Gotham Academy: Second Semester (2016-2017) - All Issues
The continuation of the Gotham Academy storyline, with of course has Maps in a major role.
Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy (2016-2017)
A crossover between Gotham Academy and the Lumberjanes, which I'm pretty sure is non-canon but still probably worth checking out. I have not read it, nor the Lumberjanes comics yet, although I do intend to do both as some point (due in part to ND Stevenson being one of the authors of Lumberjanes, and me really liking the She-Ra reboot and Nimona)
Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death (2016) - #1
Maps, alongside other Gotham Academy students (including Olive, Kyle, Colton and Pom) have a brief cameo in this first issue of this run. Maps and Olive each get one line each.
Batgirl (2011—2016) - #51, #52, & Annual 4
Maps (along with Olive) also showed up briefly during the Batgirl of Burnside run. My assumption is this is due to them sharing an artist and being published concurrently. I do know what Burnside!Babs isn't everyone's cup of tea so keep that in mind, I suppose.
My Video Game Ate my Homework (2020) - #1
Maps and Olive show up behind the main characters in the first page as a cameo... and that's about it. The comic seems fun though, for the record. Mostly including this because I'm just going through the list of Maps' appearances on the DC wiki.
Batman: Black and White (2021) - #4
One of the stories in this issue has Maps appear as Robin. Non-canon but still a very neat and fun appearance by her.
Batman (2016-) - #119, #120, #121
Probably Maps' first major appearance since the end of the Gotham Academy: Second Semester. These give some additional exploration of her home life and relationship with her parents. Has her dressing up as Robin to investigation the disappearance of another student.
Batgirls (2022-2023) - #11
Maps shows up here and has an adventure with Cass. This also means that Maps knows Babs, Cass and Steph. Which is neat. I do know that the portrayal of the Batgirls in Batgirls isn't everyone's cup of tea (namely portraying them as younger / less mature than they have been in the past) so that that's worth keeping in mind. Interestly, Maps' big brother Kyle has a larger role; appearing in #10, #11, #17, #18, #19 and the Annual as a possible love interest for Steph.
DC's Saved by the Belle Reve (2022) - #1
A one-shot with several stories, including one which returns to the Gotham Academy crew and gives some information on what's happened since the end of Gotham Academy: Second Semester, along with a fun adventure.
Gotham Academy: Maps of Mystery (2023) - #1
A one-shot which acts a compilation of Batman (2016-) - #119, #120, #121, as well as Maps appearances in Batman: Black and White, and DC's Saved by the Belle Reve.
Birds of Prey (2023-) - All Issues
The newest Birds of Prey run has a surprise appearance by Maps. Which I think is a neat sign of her receiving some increased focus as of late. To get into some mild-ish spoilers... the Maps who appears is a Maps from the future. I have made a few posts/reviews of this run, which you can find on this blog, and I guess personally I am not the biggest fan of her portrayal in this comic. Still is neat to see her receive more focus. Do kinda also think it could've been neat if Present!Maps had shown up instead of Future!Maps.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2023-) - #10, #11, #12
Gotham Academy returns! As does Present!Maps. A fun ongoing story of Maps getting to team up with Batman once more.

hello hello hellooooo odd question but i wanted to know if reading all 136(?) issues of the 2016 batman run to catch up is worth it. ive been into dc (specifically batfam) comics for a year now but i realize i never have read a batman centered comic yet and i really want to but like i said there are over A Hundred issues and i’m so behind 😭😭 i think i rmbr you keeping up with it so i’m just wondering if you have any advice if there’s certain issues i can skip or if it’s better to just read the whole thing.
to be clear i don’t mind reading all of it if it’s necessary, but i just wanted your opinion to see if there are certain storylines or issues to skip so i can catch up faster !! sorry for the long ask 😵💫
- 🔆
hello friend !! it is NOT necessary to read all 136 issues of Batman (2016) at all to enjoy the current batman canon !!
RECOMMENDED READING; Batman: Cold Days (#51-53), Batman: City of Bane (#75-85), Batman: Joker War (#95-100), Batman: Fearstate (#112-117), Batman: Failsafe (#125-ongoing)
NOT RECOMMENDED: literally the first five stories 😭 (#1-#32) and most other things written by Tom King (issues before #86).
-> Tom King did this thing where he pretty much made his own version of Batman that he used for Rebirth, and then when James Tynion IV took over (from #86) he definitely brought it back to a more familiar (New-52) Batman. Currently, Chip Zdarsky (starting at #125) is probably the best Batman writer we've had in a long time.
though, if you want batman centric comics, i would personally recommend checking out Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight! there are 214 issues (A LOT i know). i can't say too much since my summer reading goal is to get through it all and i'm only on #20, but i LOVE it so far! it features one of my all time favourite batman stories, Batman: Venom (#16-20). the best part about this is that it's short stories that are not connected to each other, so flick through and pick whichever one interests you!
I'M sorry for the long response, but i hope this was useful! just remember, the great thing about batman is, none of his writers know whats going on with him either. you can skip or read whatever you want and i guarantee you'll catch up to the current issue in no time! <3
#not odd question at all I LOVE GIVING RECS#fic recs comic recs movie recs I LOVE SHARING WHAT I LIKE#also i should add the comics i recommended aren't exactly my FAVS#but they are essential to understand whats going on with batman lore currently#like his wealth and alfred etc#enjoy your reading!#batman comics#saki anons#dc meta#technically

Objection! Your honor, this is an incorrect statement. As no one knows the identity of Batman, we therefore cannot confirm nor deny whether he is licensed to drive a tank.
#the legal stuff in this comic is admittedly dumb#Batman 2016 51#they get like half of it right but it's clear Tom King has never served in a jury before#and didn't really research beforehand#Jim Gordon#my post#this line is probably the dumbest statement made

im gonna get dc infinite again soon and i have a strong need for batfam. what are your top recs rn?
Hi! I have a list of runs I've been enjoying here and @fantastic-nonsense has an incredible list of comic recs sorted by character here, but it can be a lot to sort through sometimes and so much really depends on what you're into, how familiar you are with everything, etc. BUT! My top recs right now are:
- Current Nightwing series, 2016-current, (maybe skim issues 50-76 because the Ric Grayson arc isn't a good starting place, you can pick the series up after that as a good starting place), it's always a solid read for me (to be fair, I'll read just about anything for my fave tho) and a great mix of humor, adventure, and exploration of Dick's character and relationships
- Batman: Urban Legends series, 2021-2023, which is a rec with a big asterisk in that I skimmed the stories I wasn't interested in, which sometimes could take up half the tpb, but the core Batfam character-centric ones were FANTASTIC, there's a time travel arc with Thomas and Martha Wayne that was all kinds of stellar, a great Jason story, a great Tim story, a couple of great Dick stories, etc.
- Batman: Cold Days (volume 3, issues #51-57 of Batman) and Batman: Rules of Engagement (volume 5, issues #33-37 + Annual #2) are a bit controversial, a lot of people really hate Tom King's writing, but I had a blast with these two volumes, especially because they're heavy on Bruce's kids showing up to bother him and I'm always down for that, there was humor and heart and everything I come to comics for.
- Batman: The Court of Owls + City of Owls is one I'm still reading but enjoying VERY much and it's a great read if you want an actually good STORY, instead of just good character interactions (not that there aren't good stories in the above, there very much are, I just feel like this story is overall a really stand-out one on that front), though, it has a lot of that, too.
- Robin & Batman (2021, by Jeff Lemire & Dustin Nguyen) is a three-issue mini-series about the early days of Dick learning to become Robin and it's an utterly gorgeous read for the characters and the art, that this Bruce struggles with being emotionally available for this kid who desperately needs him, but also YOU CAN'T TELL DICK GRAYSON SHIT ABOUT WHAT TO DO EVEN WHEN HE'S LIKE NINE YEARS OLD and they manage to figure things out, just an emotional gut-punch in the best way.

I’m very glad Scooby-Doo has come up, it’s like my one thing (I definitely didn’t submit a Scrappy related hot take)
If your looking for Scooby-Doo crossovers I would like to direct your attention to the Scooby-Doo Movies (1972), which a series consisting of hour long episodes and celebrity guests. Some examples being:
The Harlem Globetrotters
The three stooges
Batman and Robin
Laurel and Hardy
Davy Jones
And more!
They later attempted to redo this format -but with shorter episodes- in Scooby-Doo and Guess who (2019).
Including guests like:
Sia (this was the first episode I saw of this series and made me immediately hate it)
The ghost of Abraham Lincoln
Weird Al (there were dinosaurs in this episode)
Ricky Gervais
And so on, I personally don’t think Be cool Scooby-Doo(2016) deserves the hate it gets when this show exists, and majorly sucks -at least in my opinion.
Also if you wanted to circle back to Kiss they were also in the Halloween episode of What’s new Scooby-Doo (2002), they didn’t have magic powers there though. Simple plan was also in one episode- Simple plan and the invisible man.
I’m pretty sure there have also been several WWE crossovers in the films.
In conclusion, I really like Scooby-Doo, it is very cool.
you can't let me crawl out of the guilty gear rabbit hole just to blindside me with the batshit insanity that is fate, splatoon and scooby doo
but, here's your take, while my brain tries to process everything you just had me read
HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT
PRE-PRELIMINARY #51
Submission 376
Scrappy-Doo doesnt deserve the hate
He was literally a baby boy added to a show that was floundering in its formula and he added life to it. Any quality decrease after his initial introduction was already well on its way after a decade plus of the franchise. And most of the modern idea of scrappy is a misconception deliberately brought on by James Gunn's purposeful Assassination of the character in the 2002 movie, which is full of false assertions about the character intended to make him seem worse than he actually was. Also I hate to break it to yall but the whole "tin curry refused a role in the movie cause of scrappy" is straight up misinfo that James Gunn even confirmed fake.
Pre-preliminaries will be used to determine what qualifies as a hot take. Propaganda is encouraged!
Also, remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure! (exposure like when your exposed to the fact that the KISS Scooby Doo crossover does actually exist, scarring you for life)
#scooby doo#scrappy doo#hot take tournament#tournament poll#tumblr tournament#tumblr bracket#asks#unpopular opinion#hot take#tumblr poll#pre preliminary

Dick Grayson in the New 52
(Prime Earth, from after Flashpoint (2011) up until the Convergence (2015).
As everyone might know, I'm not a great fan of the New 52. I'm sure some characters had great stories, and there are indeed some compelling stories for Dick, but generally, I feel it did him few favours. Before Flashpoint (Dick became Doctor Fate in Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons, by the way), Dick Grayson had a long and rich history together with scores of characters and was one of the most experienced and skilled "superheroes" out there. Instead, we got a guy in his early 20s who had met Bruce Wayne when he was as old as 15, didn't have his best friends from the Teen Titans, hardly knew that version of Superman, etcetera. (Dick had been in a relationship with Kory, seen in some flashbacks, but I don't think there ever was a New Teen Titans team.)
Dick's Nightwing suit was also red instead of blue; I believe to have all four "Robins" in the same colour, which I didn't mind. But I really, really don't like the New 52 version of his Robin suit.
I honestly don't think there are a lot of stories from this time that are important to know about reading forward, i.e. things that will be referenced in later comics (and fanfiction...) There is the Court of Owls extended storyline, naturally, when it turns out Dick's great-grandfather is a Talon and wants Dick to follow in his footstep, something the Court and Parliament of Owls seem very much into (The Gray Son of Gotham). This has forever changed Dick's past at Haly's circus, from where he would have been safe to where he would have been handed over to a future as a Talon.
There is Forever Evil when Dick was killed and revived, after which Batman took the chance to "persuade" Dick to pretend to stay dead so he could infiltrate Spyral, leading to the title Grayson (2014–2016). There's Damian dying and coming back too, but Dick had a minor role there.
Towards the end of the New 52, DC was working to give their characters all their memories back from pre-Flashpoint, and the (Silver age) Titans were reunited in Titans Hunt (2015–2016).
Anyway, here are some notable comics with Dick Grayson from the New 52, trying to keep it in in-story chronological order.
Nightwing vol 3 # 25. A story from Dick's time at the circus.
Nightwing vol 3 # 0 (2012) and The Long Year (in New 52 Secret Origins vol 3 # 1 (2014)) tell somewhat different versions of how Dick came to Bruce and became Robin.
Batman and Robin vol 2 Annual # 2. Partly a flashback story to when Dick was Robin. Bruce fires him and forgives him a night or two later; none of them are characters I can particularly care about...
Grayson Annual # 2. A couple of flashback pages to Dick/Robin meeting the (young) New 52 Superman.
Batman & Robin Eternal (2015–2016) and Batman Endgame # 1. Parts of Batman & Robin Eternal occur in the past when Dick is Robin, and for instance, faces Scarecrow for the first time.
Justice League vol 2 # 51. DickRobin’s first meeting with the Justice League. Batman tells him he will be leading it in the future.
Nightwing vol 3 # 1. Dick has just left being Batman and gone back to Nightwing.
Nightwing vol 3 # 2–10. Connected to the Court of Owls storyline. # 7 tells how Dick's childhood friend Raymond was taken to become a Talon, after Dick had left with Bruce. # 8–9 includes the story of Dick's great-grandfather William Cobb, his love affair with Amelia Crowne, and how he became a Talon, took his son from Amelia, and left him at the circus.
Nightwing vol 3 # 11–17. Dick invests all his money in rebuilding the Amusement Mile in Gotham and invites Haly's circus to work there. He gets help from the businesswoman Sonia Branch, the daughter of Tony Zucco, his parent's murderer. However, Joker targets the Amusement Mile and the circus, and in the end, Dick is left without any money and the circus people leave him.
Connected to the Death of the Family crossover, where the Joker imprisons the bat-family in the cave. The story arc ends with Bruce's allies leaving him, angry that he never told them that the Joker might have known who they are all along.
Nightwing vol 3 # 18. The aftermath of Damian's death. Dick is told that Tony Zucco, the man who killed his parents and was presumed dead, is alive.
Batman and Robin vol 2 # 23 Nightwing. Dick tries to help Bruce cope with Damian's death.
Nightwing vol 3 # 18. Dick moves to Chicago to search for Zucco. In # 28, Zucco ends up in jail.
Forever Evil (2013-2014) In # 1, Nightwing is captured by the Crime Syndicate of Earth 3, and they demask him on television. Justice League vol 2 # 23.4 and # 25. Thomas Wayne Jr, Owlman on the Crime Syndicate, tries to convince Dick to become his partner against the rest of the Syndicate. In his own dimension, he had killed that Dick Grayson's parents to make Dick bond with him. In Forever Evil # 6, Batman and Catwoman find Dick trapped in a murder machine; a bomb that will explode unless his heart stops. Lex Luthor knocks Batman out and ostensibly suffocates Dick while giving him a cardioplegia pill. Dick flatlines, and the countdown of the bomb stops. # 7 Luthor revives Dick with a shot of adrenalin.
Nightwing vol 3 # 30. Bruce is an abusive ass and fights with Dick to force him to pretend to stay dead and infiltrate Spyral; Bruce describes it as an espionage group hunting masked heroes. In the last pages, Dick is with Spyral.
There was also a # 30 that never was published about Dick's funeral and the reactions of his friend and family.
Grayson (2014–2016). Dick is working as Agent 37 at Spyral. He has been equipped with a Hypnos Implant in the eyes, used to show hallucinations to enemies (and more); it can also be used to render the agent wearing them unconscious. I've said it before; I can enjoy the Grayson book if I read it as Dick is playing the part of sexy (and sometimes obnoxious) super spy out of necessity. He is clearly homesick when he talks to Bruce to report his findings.
Batman Eternal takes place when Dick is presumed dead; he's mentioned twice, I believe (# 5 and 18)
Batman vol 2 # 40 (April 2015). Dick stands in as Batman, fighting the Joker.
Grayson # 5. The best issue of the run, in my opinion. Dick keeps a newborn baby alive after a plane crash in a desert, telling her a story that builds on the classic Robin Dies at Dawn.
Grayson # 12. Dick returns to Gotham, where Bruce is an amnesiac and has forgotten about Batman and all his kids. Dick reveals himself to Alfred, Jason, Tim, Damian and Barbara (Jason, especially, is pissed; Damian is overjoyed) to get their help to take down Spyral. Quotes from older comics surround his meetings with the other bat-characters, so it's a fun issue to read for that.
Starfire vol 2 # 6–8. Guest starring Dick as Agent 37.
Grayson Annual # 2. Dick meets and teams up with the New 51 Superman, who has lost most of his powers. It has its moments, and Dick talks about how he remembered Clark's story about the Kryptonian gods Nightwing and Flamebird when he decided to leave being Robin.
Batman & Robin Eternal (2015–2016) and Batman Endgame # 1. A part of Batman & Robin Eternal takes place in the past when Dick is Robin; in the story "now", Dick is Agent 37. It revolves around a character called "Mother", who "creates" characters on order. It is implied Bruce worries that he was doing the same thing with Dick, when he trained him to become Robin. The book includes many characters, for instance, Cassandra Cain, who is reintroduced here. Personally, I don't think you miss out a lot if you skip this book, but to each their own.
Robin War (a book and crossover including Grayson # 15, 2015–2016). Dick and the other official Robins train and work together with the Robin movement in Gotham. It ends with Dick accepting a position as a Talon for the international Parliament of Owls – they had tricked Damian into taking the role earlier in the book, but their goal was set on Dick. (Dick will, of course, work to dismantle the Parliament, in the Rebirth Nightwing title.)
Titans Hunt (2015–2016). The return of Wally West led to Rebirth and everyone remembering a past they've forgotten (DC's way of explaining the shortcomings of New 52, if I understood correctly). Just before that happens, Titans Hunt reunites part of the old Teen Titans, and Dick returns to his Nightwing suit.
The New 52 brand ended in 2015, when DC published a bunch of miniseries under the brand Convergence. The storylines continued into 2016 until Rebirth happened (Dick's appearances there is something I will try to get into in a later post).
And there were a lot of different versions of Dick Grayson during Convergence...
The future of Dick and Kory from the New Teen Titans timeline, in Convergence: The New Teen Titans # 1-2
The future of Dick and Barbara from pre-Flashpoint timeline, in Convergence: Nightwing and Oracle # 1-2
The future of Dick from the old Earth-Two (who actually died together with his "almost adopted sister" Helena/Huntress in Crisis on Infinite Earths) in Convergence: Detective Comics # 1-2
Dick from Earth 2, who was a journalist, never met Bruce but Thomas and became Batman, in Convergence # 2–8, Earth 2: World's End and Earth 2: Society (he's not in every issue).
Note. This is a much more complete list from a Tumblr account that I believe is no longer active:

Orm Marius ultimate recommended reading guide by yours truly, ormymarius. I’ll try to make this as less confusing as possible because I know comics can be confusing.
[click read more below]
Starting off with his more recent origin:
Aquaman #0 (2011)
(literal baby Orm is shown and Vulko’s beef with Orm, this is important for throne of atlantis)
Throne of Atlantis - this arc is the best to understand Orm in recent comics
Aquaman #14
Justice League (2011) #15
Aquaman #15
Justice League #16
Justice League #17
Or you can check out War for the Throne, it has all of Throne of Atlantis in there.
After Throne of Atlantis, I recommend:
Aquaman (2011) #19
Aquaman #23.2
(another major story for Orm, this is where Erin and Tommy show up)
Aquaman #25
(at the end, Orm & Erin’s story is sort of continued. You will notice that Rise of the Seven Seas is told where you should go next. It was a canceled event because GJ never wrote it. However, some of it was incorporated into the Aquaman movie)
Aquaman #36
(this explains Orm’s childhood)
Orm was supposed to be included in some more issues but GJ was going to use him in Rise of the Seven Seas, and well… he prevented Orm from being utilized. Rip to New 52 Orm. Onwards we go.
Orm is back from limbo in Rebirth Aquaman comics, finally. For better or for worse, you decide.
Mera: Queen of Atlantis #1-6
(note: Rebirth Orm is not my fave and sometimes he’s considered ooc to me)
Justice League/Aquaman Drowned Earth
Ocean Master: Year of the Villain
(probably my all time favorite Orm story)
Aquaman (2016) #57-#59, #61, #64, #65
(I don’t particularly like how Orm is written in these issues and you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to, it’s not necessary but I’ll still recommend it…)
Aquaman 80th anniversary
(the 80th anniversary story with Orm is another fave Orm story of mine)
Aquamen #1, #2, #3, #6
(Aquamen is really messy and you can read it if you want but Orm is not really in it. I actually have no idea what his motivation was, that’s how messy it is lol)
Orm has had many origin changes, in silver age he was completely human but still the half-brother of Arthur.
Some of my fave appearances of him in Aquaman Vol. 1:
Aquaman #29
(Orm’s first appearance in comics ever)
Aquaman #32
Aquaman #35
(this is Manta’s first appearance in comics ever, Manta and Orm are hilarious in here)
Aquaman #37
Aquaman #49-51
Some other fave appearances of him in this era:
Action Comics #517-520
Next we have Aquaman vol. 2. The 1986 miniseries of Aquaman. It’s probably my all time favorite Aquaman story with Orm. If you like Aquaman but haven’t read this story… what are you even doing??
Aquaman (1986) #1-4
After this we have 90s Orm. I don’t like a lot of him so this is going to be brief sorry. To me, he’s more one-dimensional than silver age Orm was. I do like the Neron thing with his trident though. In this origin, he’s human/homo magi/atlantean.
Aquaman time and tide #3-4
Aquaman vol 5. #19-20
Aquaman vol 5. #66-69
In Aquaman vol 6 I don’t really have an opinion on Orm, he’s just there. But he’s still one-dimensional as he was in the 90s.
Aquaman vol 6. #26-27
Aquaman vol 6. #37
Next is Sword of Atlantis. I’ll be honest, I haven’t read most of this because it’s… eh. One day I will. But I’ll include some of the Orm appearances for you all.
Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #44-45
Honorable mentions:
Batman and the Justice League manga vol. 1, 2, & 3
(this is basically an au that takes place after Throne of Atlantis but if Orm didn’t meet Erin & Tommy, I love it)
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Special #1 (2023)
(if you like dceu Orm, he has a story in here explaining what happened to him between the first movie and the second movie)
So that’s my reading guide for Orm. If anything is confusing for you, let me know and I’ll do my best to help. Get reading! <3
