DC's vast universe includes legendary characters such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter, as well as teams like the Justice League, the Teen Titans, and the Suicide Squad.
Under the editorial direction of pioneers such as Julius Schwartz, and with contributions from legendary writers and artists like Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, Bob Kane, Bill Finger, Gardner Fox, George Pérez, and Neal Adams, DC Comics has produced some of the most celebrated stories in the comic book medium. DC has also been at the forefront of graphic storytelling innovation, with groundbreaking series such as "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, and "The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller, both of which have had a profound impact on how comics are perceived and appreciated.
