I read up on Doctor Fate and man, there are a lot of incarnations, including the requisite extreme 90s one. Was the last series good?

I have to choose between the last two trades of Snyder's Nu52 Batman and the two Midnighter trades for the BOGO sale, which should I pick?

Midnighter it is!

I'm getting Joe Kely's JLA run, too, plus the Ellis run of The Authority.

My officemate told me to read Mister Miracle as he claims it's absolutely incredible. True/false?

What is so bad about Rebirth Trinity? I really like Manapul but could it be that bad? (well apparently he's also writing it and I've always known him as an artist)

With the DC sale, I've been thinking of getting some trades of the Nu52 Detective Comics run, specifically the ones with Manapul's art and/or the Gordon Batman period. Are they at least decent?

I like Manapul not just because of his art, but also because he's half-Filipino. There's a good number of Filipino artists working for Marvel/DC, hope they do some creator-owned stuff too.

Is the Bizarro mini (2015) good?

What is so bad about the Rebirth Justice League comic? How do you screw up a Justice League comic? I heard it gets better, but it started out real bad and no one recommends it?

edit: It's incredibly easy to make a bad Justice League comic. What's the 'good comic' percentage since say, Joe Kelly JLA? 15% generously?

I read JLA after Kelly and it was okay, the Claremont/Byrne vampires storyline was weird and mediocre, and there were some arcs that were dedicated to the Red Tornado, and some Legion people mixed in (I distinctly remember a panel where Karate Kid hits Batman and says "I just gave you a hernia", I didn't think they were awful, but pale in comparison to the good ones (Morrison's run).

Trinity was (is?) also bad, right? Was it the awful kind of bad or boring, waste of your money kind of bad?

Trinity was boring for the first half and mediocre for the second. The worst part was the dialog in the first part which had either Batman, Wonder Woman or Superman keep mentioning the word trinity over and over and over again. It had the subtlety of a neon pink sledgehammer.
The second half was a mediocre "elseworld" story.

Shame, I really like Manapul, I read Nu52 Flash because of his art, but maybe he needs to take writing classes?

Hello! I wanted to post this in the questions thread, but it's kind of a big question. What big events have happened in the DC Universe since Rebirth? I'm not updated on any series but I'd like to be, it's just that there are quite a lot of books to follow, some of which were launched after Rebirth Day 1 (I'm thinking of reading Steve Orlando's JLA but I'm not sure what I should read prior). I knew of Superman Reborn, The Button, Doomsday Clock (is it still running?), and the Heroes in Crisis event which a lot are quite mad about. Have there been any interesting developments/updates to characters (in before Ric)?
