It's finally here!!!
Tumblr media
Graphic design is my passion LMFAO but as i said i would do a while back,i've created a masterpost of all the Jason Todd content that's worth your time!This is rather long but he's existed since 1983 so!!
Base edit is my little sister @mayameanderings and tagging @coffeemilkcatz and @nanaonmars since they said yes when i asked if they wanted me to!Let's dive in then!
Batman 408-426,Detective comics 568-582,Superman annual 11,New Teen Titans 18-31,Blue Devil 19,Action comics 556 and 594,Batman Annuals 10-12 and Batman(The cult)for pre-reboot Robin!Jason my beloved
Nightwing Year One 101-106,New Teen Titans 55,Nightwing 10(1997)and Legends of the Dark Knight 100 for Dick and Jason siblinghood,Gotham Knights 34 for the short story of him and Alfred and Detective comics 790 for Bruce telling Cass about him as it takes place on Jason's birthday
Lost Days aka the Red Hood prologue
Under The Red Hood(2010)-The original comic is good in it's own right but the movie is leagues better written(Rare comic book adaption exception lmao)
Robin 177 and 182-183 for tha actual Tim and Jason beef instead of 'replacement' and 'enemy to caretaker' bs
Azreal:Death's Dark Knight 3(Can't give commentary on this one since i don't know Azreal like that,sorry)
Red Hood and The Outlaws(2016).Unlike the Utrh comic vs the Utrh movie,the original Rhato has nothing positive like the reboot
Not TECHNICALLY Jason BUT Duke is his favorite brother and Stephanie's the only Batfam girl he's truly close to so you should also stan them since he'd want you to /lh
Red Hood:Outlaw for the confirmation that Red Hood loves black women from infinity to infinityyyyy(meaning his love interest Dana Harlowe is introduced and featured as an mc in this run)
Urban Legends 1-6 for his return to the Batfam-Messy tbh but i do enjoy parts of it!
Task Force Z for him and Stephanie being a vigilante team and it has a prelude,that being Detective comics 1041-1043
Unkillables and Joker:The Man Who Stopped Laughing for Jayrose goodies and more of the above
Gotham War if you feel like turning off your brain to look at good art and laugh at dogshit writing
Red Hood:The Hill is his current run and when our queen Dana comes home from comics limbo!!!
The following is a misc list that's not required to include in your Jason knowledge but HIGHLY recommended you do just for fun!
Tiny Titans 23,29,33,39,45 and 47,Bombshells 46,60 and 62,Bombshells United 18-24,Lego Batman:Family Matters,A Death In The Family 2020,Batman:The Adventures Continue,Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 5-6,The Doom That Came to Gotham 2023 and The Teen Titans Go episode 'The Best Robin'(Pre-Reboot Robin Jason rights!!!).Also look up 'Nobody cares about Tim Drake' if you don't know what that is,you'll love it
Jason also appears in the Lego DC Super Villains games that i highly recommend as well especially because my girlfriend is a mega fan of it and i don't know much about Lego Batman 3:Beyond Gotham but please avoid the aformentioned original Rhato,Red Hood:Outlaws and the Gotham Knights game as they feature extremely problematic writing not limited to but including racialized misogyny and ableism and do disservice to Jason himself anyway so you wouldn't want to consume them to begin with if you want to like him.I have mixed feelings on the Arkham Knight and Injustice games series' but they are objectively fairly good so i wouldn't say no to giving them a shot to see if you like them
And for the finale we have Wayne Family Adventures-Definitely a good read but to be totally honest it does Duke DIRTY and it sucks so much of DC to have marketed as his series to not only not follow through at all and make it an ensemble cast instead but ALSO deprive him of his actual characterization and story to make him a demure weak black boy stereotype.I won't judge you at all for liking it if you decided to read it or have already but kindly keep this in mind and consider joining me and my mutuals in our rewrite of it to give our Signal of Hope and Chaos the writing he deserves or at least support us through likes and reblogs!Happy Jason readings and have a good day💕

So I watched the animated Legion of Super Heroes and I just can’t. I can’t with straight Supergirl anymore. Mon El as a villain? Phenomenal. Do I hate Brainiac 5? No. But the romance doesn’t work for me. Despite its flaws, once you’ve seen Supercorp, the plot beats and heteronormativity of Kara and Brainiac 5 just can’t compete. You also can’t convince me Sasha Callie’s Supergirl was straight either.
Preach. While it was hilarious to see Mon-El as a villain and have Kara kick his ass (which now makes 3 separate versions where that ship has been buried one way or another by DC, The CW, WB, etc) ... I'm honestly so sick of watching them do the same things with Kara again and again and again, especially on the romantic front, and it's entirely uninteresting for the most part.
I mean it's pretty ironic that the single best love story she's ever had in any medium was the queerbaited one between she and Lena Luthor in TV series, ffs.
Until they realize that the concept of Kara/Lena (aka the real "Supercorp" despite a couple of DC writers recently attempting to st-- I mean conveniently use the exact LGBTQ fan-created phrase, a very similar logo to the LGBTQ fan-made one and even utilize some eerily similar SC elements from the SGCW TV series) is a literal GOLD MINE of creative opportunity and money to be made... they're going to just continue to rinse and repeat the same dull shit and wonder why most people simply just don't care and they can't break out of the box (except with a couple limited runs like WoT which have no love interest).
Kara/Lena as a romantic couple literally subverts a 60+ year lore of Super vs Luthor -- taking it from a story of hate to a literal love story, and also bringing the characters back to some rather interesting and queercoded dynamics they already demonstrated between the two way back in the Silver Age comics.
Interestingly, DC has already toyed with a sapphic Supergirl in various versions already. In Bombshells: United #33 she kissed Lois Lane. In DC's Dark Knights of Steel Miniseries in 2021, they had Supergirl and Wonder Woman in a queer relationship. And with the CW tie-in Batwoman comic run for DC, the author recently subtly confirmed Kara/Lena as dating.
So why continue to go back to the same old outdated, bland, repetitive heteronormative angle that doesn't even sell enough to maintain a long-running Supergirl solo comic series, lead the show to be critically panned half the time and end on a flop note with furious fans, etc? Inexplicable, beyond the usual blind spots and phobias.
At some point, somebody will wake up and smell the creative potential and profits. Until then, we wait. And keep pushing, creating fan art and fanfic, etc and show 'em how it's done.
It'll happen eventually. I have faith. I fully believe it. Whether it's in a year, five, ten or twenty. It'll happen. Greatness cannot be ignored or avoided forever. 😉 Some day...

I have a lot of thoughts about DC Bombshells, it’s one of my favourite comics and we don’t talk about dc bombshells Talia enough which offends me personally because it’s my favourite version of her (my opinion is always correct), it’s one of the only universes where she gets to have an identity away from both Ra’s and Bruce. In fact she’s probably not met either of them (though Ra’s is mentioned) in it as she took over the duty of protecting the pits from Melisande and has been doing that since
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I ALSO LOVE THE LAZARUS PITS IN IT i love how they’re done and i love the idea of them only being able to be used three times. DC likes to change its mind a lot about the pits it used to be. They could be used once then they could be used continually; at one point they could only be used as like certain times. It's pretty much something you can pick and choose about and I like how they’re done here. I also love the idea of Talia being one of probably multiple people with the sole duty of protecting each pit. Like I know at the end of the comic she goes about destroying them but even that is pretty cool I think and I wish we got to see more of it.
Tumblr media
I really think that when she’s not clouded over but Ra’s or Bruce or Damian we really get to see more of Talia as a character and not as an extension of some other person, the first thing we see her do in the comic (DC Bombshells: United 16) is take down a massive Goddam minotaur tell me that’s not awesome I dare you.
In general my biggest issue with both DC and the fandom, especially the fandom, when it comes to Talia is she always gets lumped in with other characters she’s never really a person herself she’s always just used as a relationship, a evil villain or a love interest or a mother but never as a character on her own like she deserves to be.
Seriously, this really gets on my nerves.
A massive part of Talia's character was that search for freedom, to be more than what Ra’s wanted her to be while struggling with her loyalties to him. She wasn’t just torn between Bruce and Ra’s she was torn between her loyal nature and her love for her father and the idea of having a free life and of having a life of her own. So what I love about this comic is we get to see her with that freedom, nobody is making her guard the pits, it's what she’s choosing to do as she later on chooses to go off with Cheetah to destroy the other pits and she can do all of this without being overshadowed with other characters.
How the league (or league equivalent) are shown in DC bombshells is another thing I love. At the current point in the timeline it’s suggested that Talia is the only one left. Ra’s is mentioned once but never by name and never shown so we know he was there at some point but nothing else is said about him. In Bombshells the league aren’t a violent group they’re just a group of people who took over the duty of guarding the pits and protecting them from the outside world
Tumblr media
Either way this is my favourite version of Talia, it’s my favourite universe she’s in and because my opinion is always right that means that this IS the best version of her and I’m so mad we never got more of her in bombshells and also that everyone in the fandom seems to collectively ignore it and I really think a lot of people are missing out because of that.
ALSO i want bombshells Talia and Selina to kiss ok thats it end of post.

Cassandra Cain Reading Guide Part 4: Alternate Universe Cass
Tumblr media
We've had DCU Cass. We've had Rebirth Cass. But what of Cass from another reality? Well, here's Part IV, a reading list of Alternate Universe Versions of Cassandra Cain!
Part I reading guide you can find here.
Part II reading guide (Modern) you can find here.
Part III reading guide (Random) you can find here. 
Part V reading guide (PAIN) you can find here.
Tumblr media
Teen Titans #52-53
- Honorable mention to Titans Tomorrow Cass aka Batwoman, but-- she only shows up in three panels. She is Starroed like many Tomorrow Titans but does cry out to "Huntress" aka an older Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe who gets possessed first).
The curious thing about Titans Tomorrow Universe it is always in flux. Originally, her death (along with others by the hand of Duela Dent) caused the "bad tomorrow". Then the sequel well, cloning happened and Cass came back or the future still happened but now she was alive.
A further "revised" Tomorrow timeline shows up in Detective Comics #979 right after Titans Tomorrow Tim escape Jor-El alongside our Tim and then the two battle for a lengthy period in the present day DCU. #979 shows us the current variant of that future with Cass dying to Ra Al Ghul's hand. But-- we're told this by an unreliable narrator in General and Brother Eye.  As they say, Steph died too, but when we are reintroduced to this timeline (showing how Tomorrow Tim is snatched by Jor-El) she is very much alive.
Tumblr media
-DC Bombshells Black Bat-
DC Bombshells United #8, #18-19
Tumblr media
- We don't really get a feel for Cassandra's character in this. Other than we see her for a few panels and learn both she and Katana overthrew their corrupt governments and rebuilt them from scratch. Cass leads a group called the "Bats of Blood and Iron" and goes by the Black Bat moniker. 
She's not much a character in this, more a footnote in this story. I feel like if there ever was a spinoff series. We really should get to see Cassandra/Katana more do these things that are mentioned. But.. I probably doubt we ever will. Or amazing variant covers by Ant Lucia.
-DCeased- 
Tumblr media
DCeased: Unkillables #1-3 
 DCeased: Dead Planet #1-7
DCeased: War of the Undead Gods #1-8
-  Though Cass doesn't appear in #1 and #4 of Dead Planet. Because the survivors don't come back to Gotham until #2 (when we see Cass again), and #4 (the journey to New Genesis). Cass shows up in #1 and #4 (War of the Undead Gods) so far. 
Unkillables features the first full-on return of Cass's Batgirl costume in over ten years (2009 was the last time she wore it). It also explores the complicated mother/daughter relationship of Shiva/Cass.
Something big happens to Cassandra in Dead Planet. No spoilers (save Stephanie, who's over in DCeased: Hope at World's End), you're just gonna have to enjoy the moment like we did.
A curious little fact is this is the first DC Comic that has a universe that has Cass and Babs both as Batgirl (An infected Batgirl Babs is shown in the original DCeased), and her body is found by Cass and Jim Gordon in Unkillables #1 with both mourning the loss of her.
DCeased: War of the Undead Gods has Cass in the issues throughout but unlike the prior series doesn’t have a key role. Save for two noteworthy things in #1 and #7. That and has an AMAZINGLY gorgeous cover in #6 (a 1:50 variant and good luck finding one of those).
Interestingly, Cass is one out of two Bat-Family members to survive DCeased. Sadly, there could’ve been ONE MORE survivor if only writer Tom Taylor could give us the answer to that. Perhaps one day he will answer that subplot since he hasn’t SPOILED it.  
- Amanda Conner Universe
Tumblr media
Wonder Woman #600
Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey (Black Label) #1-4
   - A DCU similar but different as husband/wife team of Amanda Conner/Jim  Palmiotti various DC books (Power Girl, Harley Quinn, Terra, Starfire, and suggestions related). 
If you were disappointed with the way Cassandra was handled in the live-action Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey movie this comic gives us a more traditional Cass.
Not only does she steal the series from everyone, but there are exceptionally sweet moments in the final issue. A highly recommended mini to pick up! Cass embarrassing the Joker is worth the price alone!
It’s possible this story takes place either probably after Wonder Woman #600 (which also features Cass by Conner).
Tumblr media
Future State 
Future State: The Next Batman #2, 4
Batman: Urban Legends #7
- Alternate future Gotham City where it is ruled tyrannically by a group known as the Magistrate. Rogues and Vigilantes alike are outlawed and hunted by the Magistrate’s chosen deputies and soldiers. Cass is the lone warrior who still follows Bruce’s ideology but is broken with Barbara missing and Stephanie breaking her heart (it is HEAVILY suggested the two had a relationship in this reality).To be entirely truthful, I was massively disappointed with this story. It was like being thrown into the middle of a story. 
Once again, we get Dick acting like a dick to boot.  “Hunter.. or Hunted...” on the other hand features Cass hunted by the Magistrate with exceptional art. Of the two stories THIS IS THE ONE TO READ. Even if it throws you again of not knowing what’s going on. At the very least “Hunter... or Hunted...” gives Cass more pathos and a better overall showing.
There are TWO more tales with this version of Cass in Future State: Gotham. But.. the only important things of those to note is the gorgeous variant cover #6). But please do avoid the other tale that involves FS Cass at the tail end of Future State Gotham. Unless you want PAIN.
Tumblr media
Shadow of the Batgirl 
- Literally this comic other than the OG Puckett/Scott run is a remarkable tale that nails the character of Cassandra Cain perfectly. Like literally, you just want a complete origin and character study of Cass/ Why... why is it suddenly raining in my room again? This graphic novel is that good for long time fans of the character. Newbie fans might be interested as it is a one and done (so far). 
Tumblr media
Batman: Wayne Family Adventures
Episode 1 "Moving In" (mentioned and acknowledges her adoption)
Episode 2 "The Last Cookie" (first appearance in the series)
Episode 5 "Arm Day"
Episode 7 "Vigilante Bingo" (mentions she's been Batgirl, Black Bat, and Orphan in this universe)
Episode 10 "Crush 3/3" 
Episode 13 "Stupid Traditions" 
Episode 14 "Unaccompanied"
Episode 15-16 "Family Ties"
- First Cass-centric arc in the series. Focuses on Cassandra's love for ballet, and Bruce trying to balance his life as a father and vigilante.
Tumblr media
Episode 17 "Top Chef" (Thanksgiving episode)
Episode 19 "Bat-Cow's Day Out"
Episode 21 "Holiday Spirit" (Christmas episode)
Episode 22 "The Tournament"
Episode 32-33 "All Seeing"
- Second major arc focuses solely on Cass. The episodes showcase the many qualities of the character on why are a fan of the character. A good starting point for new readers on the character.
Tumblr media
Episode 36-37 "Belonging"
Episode 48 "Shovel Talk"
- Cass and Duke centric episode with the family dealing with the possibility she has a boyfriend. Wackiness ensues.
Episodes 49-50 "One More" (mentioned only) 
Episode 51 "Night In" (Season 1 finale)
Episode 52 Assassin (Season 2 Premiere)
Episode 56 “Why We Fight Part 2″
Episode 57 “Picture Day”
Episode 61 “What Matters Most Part 2″
Episode 66 “No Doors Allowed”
Episode 67 “Branching Out” (Cass/Steph meet Harley/Ivy wackiness ensues)
Episode 68 “Thankful”
Episode 70 “Hunted Part 2″
Episode 72 “Snowfall Part 1″ (part one of Holiday episode)
Episode 73 “Snowfall Part 2″ (part two of Holiday episode)
Episode 78 “Outlaws” (slight tie-in to Red Hood: Outlaw spinoff webtoon comic)
Episode 82 “Sneak Attack”
Episode 90 “What I Want Part 1″
Episode 91 “What I Want Part 2″ (first appearance of David Cain in series, first full appearance of Cass’s Batgirl costume, origin of Cass in this universe.) 
Episode 93 ”Alarm Bells”
Episode 98 “Power Outage”
Tumblr media
- Episodes 66-67, and 70 are the Cass-related episodes (so far). We get some amusing sister/brother antics in Episode 66 with Jason/Cass trying to impart their “wisdom” of dramatic entrances to Duke. Only for the later to give his own inclusion how make an entrance. 
Episode 67 has Cass/Steph are watching over a bedridden Harley Quinn and meet Poison Ivy. Amusing adorable hijinks ensue.
Episode 70 reveals Babs making sure Cass/Steph are in on her mission. Showing the trust and bonds the three have with one another. 
- Cass is mentioned in the spinoff series to WFA, Red Hood: Outlaws in episode 46.5 Like Son Part II, Damian records Bruce confessing and then hugging Jason that “I’m sorry. I was wrong.” To save himself, Damian says if Bruce does anything to him, he’ll tell Cass. Bruce relents. 
- Episode 90-91 is Cass’s first central dramatic story in Season 2. She and Damian run afoul of Mad Hatter who brainwashes her to attack her sibling. In part 2 we see Cass’s origin in WFA, as it uses Pre-New 52 David Cain (in his first appearance in the series). Cass breaks free and Damian/her share a cute brother/sister moment afterward.  
DC Vs. Vampires
Tumblr media
DC vs. Vampires #2, #4-6
DC vs. Vampires: Hunter #1 (one panel)
DC vs. Vampires #10-11, #12 (in shadow)
- Cass is one of the few heroes in the DCU not taken over or killed by the vampires in this elseworlds story. Problematic art though for the main series sadly given the artist turned out to be very icky.
The writing is a mixed bag as well as Cass was a main character of the plot in the first half of the comic, before being dropped and randomly showing up in the latest issue.
One interesting tidbit of this version of Cass is that she moonlights as both Batgirl and Orphan (but only donning this identity with the Outsiders) in this universe.
Second interesting note is at the end of DC vs. Vampires #12, Cass is one of two people in the Bat-Family in #2 (the other being Alfred) to not have been killed or become a vampire. 
Steph and Helena are also the only other Bat-Family members to have survived as well being human. 
Young Justice
Tumblr media
Young Justice: Targets #2-3
- Expands on the Cass introduced in Young Justice cartoon by revealing she knows ASL (I wish this was introduced in the main series). She has a few kickass moments in the comic as well.
However, she only appears in these two issues and that’s it. Only recommended if you enjoyed this version of Cass, and desire to see her storyline somewhat continued. 
Dark Multiverse
Tumblr media
Tales of the Dark Multiverse: Hush #1
Batman/Superman Authority Special #1
Dark Knights Death Metal: Robin King #1
In the “Dark Multiverse” there have been three variants of Cass that have appeared. The most “prominent” one among them is the one in Hush. Cass, Tim, and Barbara go down a darker path as they openly rebel against Thomas Elliot and his iron grip over Gotham with not Batman or Bruce Wayne to stop him.
Cass’s costume is a mixture of her Orphan and Kasumi costume. We never get much of her codename as she’s quickly killed by the Gray Son (Dick Grayson who’s been recruited by the Court of Owls). It is implied that this version of her and Tim had a relationship as his name is the last word she utters before collapsing dead.
We’re teased another evil Cass (along with the rest of the Bat-Family) who is part of the Empire of Shadows. Lead by Ra’s Al Ghul (Bruce Wayne) the Empire has taken over their respective Earth and learns of the multiverse. We see this version of Cass once near the end as her silhouette is quite clear in the shadows.
The final Dark Multiverse Cass is the one shown briefly in Dark Knights Death Metal Robin King #1. As the Batman Who Laughs gives Robin King a tour of an Earth where he “tortures” numerous Dark Multiverse Batmen and the survivors become his minions. One of those shown bears a strikingly resemblance to Cass, but the appearance has never been confirmed. 
Injustice
Tumblr media
Injustice: Year Zero #2
Though not fully appearing, Cass is namedropped in the prequel story to Injustice comics. It isn’t really known what became of this version of the character. But from the dialogue suggested by Superman to Batman, Bruce/Barbara having mentored her presumably as Batgirl (Babs is Oracle at the start of Injustice).
Tumblr media
 Batman: Last Knight on Earth
Batman: Last Knight on Earth Book Three
Tumblr media
- Cassandra was originally one of the survivors of Omega’s original assault on the world. She (along with the rest of the Bat-Family) changed their personas to resemble Owls with Cass taking a more Talon-esque costume as shown here (they believed Omega had tainted the Bat mantle/symbol at this point). 
We don’t know much else about this variant of Cass as she along with Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Jason Todd, and Kate Kate all perish by Omega’s hand right before a revived Bruce Wayne shows up. 
But hey! Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon survive. 
..... 
Tumblr media
Look I get it they live because they have a kid (who also lives). But it just feels so darn cheap to have the most of the “Bat Family” to die right before Bruce shows up.
It feels so wrong to me and just like a certain someone high up above this creative team had this wet dream to kill them all off to tick off fans. Well, congrats! It worked! 
Dark Knights of Steel
Tumblr media
Dark Knights of Steel #6, 9
- No I didn’t forget this alternate Cass. It’s just that well.. we don’t know much fully about her yet save three things. #1 She’s the only Cass who was ever a Robin (a Robin in this universe are the “agents” who serve under Bruce Wayne (aka the Bat Knight) around this world. #2 She’s different then the rest of the Robins (as detailed in Dark Knights of Steel: Tales of the Three Kingdoms #1 they were all a crew of thieves until they caught the attention of Bruce but there was 0 Cass among them) in that we know next to nothing about her connection to Bruce here. #3 She’s placed in a position to free Prince Ka-El as she is the medical professional addressing his wounds but also keeping an eye on him.
Sure enough, she freed Ka-El to prevent the war between the three kingdoms. 
Batman: Knightwatch
Tumblr media
Batman: Knightwatch #5
- This one just feels more like an Easter Egg than an actual reference. Though not with the Bat-Family, this Cass is just a normal little girl, who just happens to really like Batman and the Bat-Family. Probably the only normal Cass of them all. But the sass is still there with this one.
Harley Quinn: The Animated Series
Tumblr media
Harley Quinn & the Legion of Bats #4-6
- So far recently introduced only in the comics. This Cass is unique among other variants being she’s the same age as Damian. There’s not much know about her yet. Save we know Vixen/Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) were working on a case together that involved Cass.
She bonds with Damian, who in turn opens up being ACTUALLY friendly toward her. This Cass also makes friends with Tiffany Fox (who was targeted in the series by Black Mask). 
Cass adopts her Orphan persona joining Dick, Damian, and Babs on a mission to stop Black Mask from taking over the Gotham Underworld while also having to deal with Poison Ivy and the Legion of Doom. 
After Black Mask is defeated, Wonder Woman is called in to escort this Cass to Themyscira. This Cass is second to one other variant that is raised by the Amazons (the other being the Dark Knights of Steel version).

What’s your favorite John x Zatanna comic?
I’m sorry for the ridiculously long wait anon, especially because this is such a nothing answer -
But I don’t have a favorite comic of Constantine x Zatanna.
While I’m always happy to see them - Constantine and Zatanna aren’t really the two characters that I actively seek out. Plus, it’s been a while since I’ve read some DC comics; and even longer since I was last super invested in DC's comics.
I did really like Constantine and Zatanna in DC Bombshells or what I’ve read from that series; I don’t know how much further it went on after I stopped reading it though, so maybe it all went downhill. I don't know. Still, I did genuinely love their little family unit with Raven.

Hey, got any tips/starting points for people who want to get into the DC comics with Maggie? Happy pride btw!
Hello Anon! Happy Pride to you as well! This is the first time anyone has asked me about comics, so I'm very excited to answer this!
So bear with me because this is a long answer, and I'm going to start by saying that the Maggie in the comics and the Maggie in the Supergirl TV Show are different characters. And while they have similar characteristics and values, they also have a lot of differences. So if you are looking for comics that deal with the familiar Maggie from the TV series, you will be disappointed because there are none. (But there is a lot of fanfiction of the TV Show Maggie, which helps with that disappointment, I've found. *wink*)
But if you can put aside the TV show version and want to understand where the character of Maggie Sawyer comes from, then there are several places that you can start.
The first one is at the very beginning. Which is Superman Vol 2 #4 (1987), where Maggie was first introduced. She was a frequent reoccurring character in the Superman series and was his primary police contact for a while. Her back story is explained chiefly during her Superman run, including her coming out story.
Maggie also became the main character in a four-issue series called Metropolis SCU, which won a GLAAD award in 1997. And then she was the main character in another four-part series called: MAGGIE SAWYER, SPECIAL CRIMES UNIT. This series was the first time a major comic book publisher (DC Comics) had a heroine that was an out lesbian. (A fact I didn't know until I was researching this answer... I thought Kate Kane or Renee Montoya held that title, oops.)
Then, in the mid-2000s, Maggie was transferred to Gotham and became a significant character in the Gotham Central series, along with Renee Montoya. And she is featured in a few other significant Batman storylines, such as Batman: No Man's Land, Infinite Crisis, and 52.
This brings me to option two; you can skip everything I mentioned before and start with Detective Comics #856 (part of the Batwoman Origin Comic Elegy), where Maggie meets Kate Kane. Maggie then becomes a significant part of 2011 The New 52 Batwoman Series. This is where I first met the character and fell in love with her. There is enough of her backstory here explaining that I felt safe understanding who she was. I enjoyed her story with Kate, even if the ending of that particular run is a bit controversial (but that's a topic for another day.)
The last option I give you is to start with DC's Bombshells, a four-volume series, and Bombshells United, a 3 volume series, which is an alternate reality where female superheroes guard the homefront during WWII. Not only is Maggie a character, but all of your favorite DC female characters are there, and this comic is very queer and features a host of Sapphic love between various heroes. (I highly recommend this series in general, because it's so good. )
In conclusion, I sincerely hope that this list helps you find a starting point that helps you dive deeper into the character of Maggie Sawyer. Feel free to message me back and let me know what you think! Happy Reading! :)
Also, here are a few articles(which do contain spoilers) that I used as references in writing this list: https://www.dc.com/blog/2022/06/24/sapphic-planet-the-many-loves-of-d-cs-bombshells

While on a mission, Damian gets caught in an explosion from a villain’s machine, which renders him invisible, inaudible, and mostly intangible.
Damian Wayne, Jonathan Samuel Kent, Kathy Branden, & Maya Ducard - Young Titans: Beginnings
Damian Wayne, AKA Robin, was well aware that each of his older brothers has had a super hero team to call their own. Richard led the Teen Titans and later the Titans. Todd led the Outlaws. Even Drake led Young Justice, as laughably immature as that team was. Damian, though, has yet to lead a team of his own. He decides to change that. Enlisting the aid of his friend Jon Kent, AKA Superboy, Damian sets out to form his own team of superheroes: the Young Titans! [The current roster is set to include Robin, Superboy, Nobody, and Beacon at first, then Suren Darga, Ma’alefa’ak, Abuse, and others. Additions beyond the core four would be gradual.]
Damian Wayne, Jon Kent, Kathy Branden, Maya Ducard, Ma’alefa’ak, & Others - Young Titans: Old Wounds
Damian’s new team, the Young Titans, have established themselves in the hero community and the wider public eye. They’ve gained some admirers and even a few Rogues. Unfortunately, they’ve also caught the attention of Lex Luthor. Superman’s greatest foe has given up on trying to clone or brainwash Kryptonians. That would be great, except that he’s decided to shift his focus to Martians instead. Lex has successfully cloned a Green Martian, and he has the perfect target in mind for a field test. In this sequel to “Forming the Young Titans,” the Young Titans will face a Justice League-level villain from long ago, born anew: Malefic.
Additional note: @jesncin has given me permission to use their depiction of Ma’alefa’ak as a basis for the character in this fic.
Young Titans, Tai Pham, & Others - Young Titans: Distant Heritage
A strange shockwave transports Tai Pham, first Green Lantern of his generation, to an unfamiliar city in the middle of a battle between a team of young heroes and a villain. Tai joins the team, these Young Titans, to figure out what brought him here and how to send him back home. At the same time, Ma’alefa’ak, now going mostly by Malek, is trying to reconnect with his brother and the history that seems determined to leave him behind.
Young Titans, Colin Wilkes, Original Characters, & Others - Young Titans: Ambrosia
Someone’s giving superpowers away and creating supervillains, and some of those powers are killing their users. The Young Titans need to find out who’s behind it and shut them down. That’s made more difficult by a new hero team, the Olympians, some of whose members are foes the Young Titans have faced before. This new team is sponsored by Lindworth Industries, which is premiering a revolutionary method of treating metagenes and working to rehabilitate Point City’s superpowered criminals.
Damian Wayne & Superheroes’ Pets - Damian Wayne, the Super Petsitter
Damian Wayne goes about his daily routine of caring for all of his animals. Dick takes and posts pictures of Damian doing so (he barely escapes with his life). Over the next few weeks, various members of the hero community (and a few outside of it) get in touch with Dick to ask if Damian would mind petsitting for them. Damian agrees to consider the requests, under the condition that he petsit their pets at Wayne Manor. Each chapter has Damian trying to petsit a different hero’s pet, from Wonder Woman’s kangaroo Jumpa, to Harley Quinn’s hyenas Bud and Lou, to Klarion’s familiar Teekl. Shenanigans will abound as Damian is having both the best and most annoying time of his life and his family slowly loses their sanity.
Damian Wayne - Animals Are Better Than People
Damian shapeshifter AU.
Damian Wayne & Egyptian Mythology - Heavy As A Feather

Damian goes on a class field trip to TinyTowne, where the class gets to simulate taking a driver’s license exam and drive around a miniature town. Damian finds the whole thing insulting, so he decides to cause chaos.
Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Alfred Pennyworth, & Others - A Severe Lack of Ducks
AU where Tim never made the quadruple somersault connection and so he never joined the BatFamily.
Jason Todd & Bruce Wayne - The Words I Want to Say Get Stuck Behind My Lips
Jason Todd ends up transported to another universe. This Earth appears to be almost identical to his own, but the difference that sticks out the most is Bruce. In this universe, Bruce eventually started seeing a therapist within the hero community. He’s still Batman, but he’s not the emotionally incompetent lummox that Jason’s used to dealing with (read: pissing off). The two of them end up talking, and while Jason leaves more frustrated than ever with his universe’s Bruce, at least now he knows the words his Bruce could never get himself to say. [This is largely an excuse to write an actual emotionally productive conversation between Jason and Bruce where Bruce doesn’t just stare at Jason like a goldfish.]
Jason Todd & Original Characters - Jason Todd the Teaching Assistant
Jason takes a job as a TA at Gotham U for a case. He gets attached.
Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, & Others - The Hero’s Return to the Normal World
A “Jason Lives” AU. After the events in Ethiopia, Jason is left permanently impaired to where he can no longer be Robin. Where he’ll go from there is up to him.

After Jason Todd dies, his soul finds its way to Nanda Parbat.

Based on the whole “Riddler checks Jason’s grave and finds it empty” post.
Kon-El Kent, Tim Drake, Bart Allen, & Cassie Sandsmark - Red, Blue, Look at You
A piece of red Kryptonite splits Kon into blue and red versions of himself during a Young Justice mission. The blue version has the personality of Conner from the cartoon, while the red version has Kon’s personality from the start of YJ98.
Kon-El Kent, Bart Allen, Max Mercury, & Others - That Alabama Clone Life
AU where Max Mercury adopts Kon.
Jason Todd & Damian Wayne - Gotham's New Dynamic Duo!
Talia al Ghul sends Jason Todd away from the League of Assassins with a Damian Wayne in tow. When they get to Gotham, however, Damian stays with Jason instead of meeting Bruce. Damian eventually starts fighting at Jason's side as a vigilante.
Talia al Ghul, Bruce Wayne, Damian al Ghul, Alfred Pennyworth, Ravi, Ra's al Ghul, and Ace the Bat-Hound - Flight of the Demon's Daughter
Jason Todd stays dead, and Tim Drake doesn't become Robin, so Talia al Ghul is forced to take matters into her own hands.
Jonathan Samuel Kent & Jonathan Samuel Kent & Others - A Tale of Two Jon Kents
It sucked that Bendis aged up Jon. I want Sunshine Jon back as much as anyone. But I can acknowledge that there are some things about the aged-up Jon that I’d like to keep around (namely his relationship with Jay). So I thought, ¿por qué no los dos? We had two versions of Clark Kent running around for years back in the day, and Jon’s entire origin is based in multiverse shenanigans, so who’s to say that Sunshine Jon couldn’t be written back into the comics without erasing the aged-up Jon? Certainly not me.
One day, Sman!Jon encounters Mxyzptlk. Mxy, being who he is, isn’t a fan of Jon’s recent growth spurt. He intends to simply rewrite Jon’s history so that he never left with Jor-El, but Jon appeals to Mxy’s love of drama by explaining how Jon’s current existence as Superman has caused a lot of controversy in the nation. Mxy thinks about it, then decides to just have it both ways. He creates a duplicate timeline, from the beginning of Jon’s existence on Prime Earth to the moments before he decides to leave with Jor-El. Mxy then manipulates the alternate Jon to decide not to leave with Jor-El. Mxy then merges the alternate timeline with the main timeline, resulting in both Sman!Jon and Sunshine Jon existing simultaneously. Mxy then leaves them with a cryptic warning, hinting that only one of them will be able to remain in the main timeline. This story will alternate between the two Jons, exploring their perception of each other and the bond they end up forming, but other characters, especially Damian and Lois, will receive POV chapters as well. Kon will also get involved.
Chris Kent, Kathy Branden, Maya Ducard, & SuperFamily Members - The World Didn’t Stand Still
Kathy Branden decides to use her shop’s teleporter to peer in on the Phantom Zone. She comes back with Chris Kent in tow.
Chris Kent, Jon Kent, Lex Luthor, Task Force X, & Others - Nightwing Rising
It’s been four years since Chris was pulled out of the Phantom Zone, since he renounced Zod and Ursa for good. Four years since he reunited with his family, albeit with some new additions. He’s settled in, found his place in families both Kent and Super. Chris has everything he could have ever hoped for. He’s safe, and loved, and content.
If only that could last.
The Flamebird, ancient Kryptonian goddess of destruction, is coming. Nobody knows why. President Luthor is happy to give them a target while he sets his sights elsewhere.
And something is stirring inside Chris himself. He dreams the same dream, over and over, of shattered glass and shackled ghosts. Shadows and secrets call out to him, begging him to answer. Something else, just out of sight, coils around him with whispers of something more.
He’s just a boy. He’s not ready.
It doesn’t matter.
The Phantom Zone is trembling.
Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, & Space Cabby - Space Scoop Switcharooo
Space Cabby and Jimmy Olsen mistaken identity fic from Perry White's perspective.
Luke Fox, Harper Row, Cullen Row, Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe, & Others - Bats on the Periphery
A series of mostly unconnected oneshots centering on the Batfamily members outside the inner circle.
Batfamily Members - A Snowball Fight of Batty Proportions
The Batfamily have a snowball fight at Wayne Manor. At least it’s not the most mayhem they’ve ever caused. Pure crack.
Selina Kyle, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, & Tim Drake - The Cattail Lounge
Prohibition-Era speakeasy AU. Selina Kyle runs the Cattail Lounge, one of the last surviving speakeasies in Gotham City alongside the Iceberg Lounge, owned by the vicious Oswald Cobblepot. The Cattail's on increasingly harder times as the Iceberg encroaches further and further. Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake are in Ms. Kyle's employ.
Jason Todd & Jason Todd & Batfamily Members - Two Robins Means Twice the Magic!
Through multiversal and magic shenanigans, Jason Todd has his body and mind regressed to his early years as Robin, and a second Robin-aged Jason Todd gets dragged into their universe. The alternate-universe Jason is inexplicably much more violent, reckless, and irresponsible than their Robin-aged Jason. This fic explores everyone’s relationship with their Jason, especially Dick and Bruce, and their attempts to navigate and bond with the alternate-universe Jason.
Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Billy Batson, Anita Fite, & Others - The Echoes of Our Unjust Deaths
In which characters have dreams about alternate-universe versions of themselves. Unfortunately, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Billy Batson have recently been suffering constant nightmares about alternate-universe versions of themselves dying. Billy is able to figure out that something magical is going on that’s causing these nightmares for them, and so the three, along with Anita Fite, band together to get to the bottom of it. While doing so, they’ll try to navigate the complications their nightmares have created in their relationships with others. [Starring such stories as DC vs. Vampires, A World Without Young Justice, Injustice, Flashpoint, and more.]
Bernard Dowd / Tim Drake, Bernard Dowd & Bruce Wayne - Playing Darts With a Conspiracy Theorist
Tim introduces Bruce to Bernard. Bruce and Bernard get talking and eventually land on conspiracy theories about heroes, namely Gotham’s vigilantes. Bruce has spent many hours spreading false theories about the Bats online, so he’s read some weird ideas. But somehow Bernard’s theories are far more utterly off-the-wall than Bruce would have thought possible. Pure crack, heavy on dialogue.
“Big Hero Six AU” - The Titans of San Fransokyo
Bruce is not Batman. Dick is in the role of Tadashi and dies. Tim is in the role of Hiro and teams up with Dick’s university classmates, who are the Titans, though without powers. Baymax’s armor resembles Batman’s, but he still just goes by Baymax. Victor Fries instead of Callaghan.

An exploration of Tim and Bernard’s relationship through the years.
Damian Wayne - The Brown-Haired Demon
Damian dyes his hair brown for a mission, but he unintentionally uses dye that refuses to wash out, so he has to let it grow out naturally. Everyone around him is far more disturbed by Damian's new hair color than they have any right to be. Pure crack.

The Young Justice Core Four discuss their codenames and what names they might consider using in the future.
Young Just Us - Merry Apokolips!
Young Justice gets trapped on Apokolips on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus comes to the rescue on his annual trip to give Darkseid a lump of coal. There may or may not be words had about that time Santa got hit by a meteorite.

Dick Grayson has tracked a human trafficking ring from Blüdhaven to Fawcett City. When Nightwing spots some thugs from the ring kidnapping a kid off the street at night, he follows them back to their base of operations.

Dick spends the next few days in Fawcett looking into Billy. After learning about Billy’s history with foster homes, he impulsively decides to help the kid by fostering him.

You can really tell the ending of dc bombshells united was rushed as it was canceled cause like suddenly the radio semi narrator just hits us with "oh youve been with us when katanna did this, and etta candy did that, and cass cain did this and aquawoman did that other thing and harley quinn and poison ivy did this other thing and batwoman did that other thing" and like Bitch!!! Whost??? You just gave us a few panels of katanna and cass before this not to mention the fact you never even showed us a design for etta candy! And you never took us on batwomans, harley and ivys, and aquawomans other adventures you mentioned. Like i feel like youre mocking us for letting this series get canceled.
Ugh im so offended
Marguerite bennett sweetie you deserved better

I was a classic girly girl as a kid so I wasn't watching any of the animated shows. I got into superheroes after watching the 2012 Avengers movie (which I still refused to watch for years) and I finally like really liked superheroes but it was a very fake, dabbling interest, and then my brother started sending me screenshots of injustice panels and now I don't shut up. 
I also primarily am a DC girlie, most Marvel I've read is either for specific Characters (Black widow, mostly) or because my eighth grade teacher lent me the comics. 
It's so annoying to have to find them, and worse when it's like random issues? So you're like "oh is this the new issue of (comic)? Well,,, it is *an* issue." And then you click on it and have to get like halfway through to know if you've read it or not. 
And some of them really are *so* long and that's so much to keep track of- I used to just have like 100 open tabs on my phone and they were all just different comics I was reading. Then I made a list just to remember what still running comics I was even reading so I'd remember to read new issues and that didn't even work. 
I loved BOP don't get me wrong! (Especially since I don't know if I already said that) but I am also the type of person who will complain about every little thing. (not all the time, and usually just inside my head, but like one thing I usually bring up with the movie is the way it's kind of weird that they like? Smashed Black Canary's two backstories together to make one? It's just a weird choice to me so I'll talk about that but it doesn't ruin the movie for me) Cass However is a big thing Im not a fan of. They didn't even make her a better character she's just lame. 
And in movies generally it's kind of annoying how studies and other movies can dictate things. I don't know if that makes sense, but how like in Marvel Spiderman was owned by someone else so he could never be in the main timeline. I understand why but it's still? Sad I guess? I don't think any of that made sense I am so sorry. 
I'm also sad that the DCEU is just non existent now. They're fumbling that ball so hard. I feel like they finally got somewhere? Like BOP was a very good movie (granted, it didn't get good reviews because women aren't allowed to exist, so I don't know how good it was for the studio's) and wonder woman was doing good. They had a lot of hype. And they just? Threw it away. Gal Gadot was loved as Diana but they threw that out. Same with Henry Cavill. They're making a mistake, I think. 
(I personally would probably consume little DCEU content anyway, because I don't like tv or movies, buy I 100% would've watched the Jurnee Smollet black canary show that was rumored to be in the works and am sad that has been thrown out) 
I've never heard of Luke Mitchell but I just googled him and that's not a bad fancast tbh. I personally am I did hard for Charlie Hunnam's fan cast though I think he's probably too rugged for Ollie. And all of that aside it still would've been really great to get any black canary or black canary and Green Arrow content. 
I bought a new comic today (Batgirl #1, rebirth) and found out I already owned it because my comic collection is such a mess since it's all from the dollarstore :(  I own the first Bombshells United, and other than that I haven't read any. I wanted it to be like, a comic I owned all of and read in person but I don't have the funds for that. 
I might use that site I appreciate that. I do the same thing but what I use is covered in bad pop ups and continuously opens new tabs I have ti be careful to delete and not open (I don't know how I still have a phone, but they almost certainly have all of my personal information). 
I don't know how comics heavy of a mood I'm in ATM (it's one of those things y'know, where you're like !! This is my main hobby!! And then you start it and you're like "I would literally rather die then do this hobby right now." ) but I will try to read the bombshells runs- I went as Bombshell Black Canary for Halloween a few years ago, so I AM a fan. And I'll try to finish secret six (do I know where I am? No. But I think it'll be worth it) 
​​​​​​​Also I'm so sorry that it took me this long I forgot I was doing this and got really distracted trying to see how likely id be to die if I broke into SeaWorld I did not mean to forget to send this 
no need to apologize on timing! i completely understand both life being busy and also being easily distracted & forgetting things. (for example, i started responding to this ask, and then very suddenly decided i needed to finish reading the batgirl 2000 run so that i could start on injustice bc my curiosity for it has been mounting, and now its almost 3am and i really should go to sleep so i might have to draft this to finish responding to hopefully tomorrow, but i’ve got a drive to do tomorrow so it may end up being a bit and now i’m going to apologize for the delay in my response and i do see the irony in that)
i have to ask, are you looking into breaking into seaworld to help the animals or more so just to see thats something you can do (no judgement either way im just genuinely very fascinated by that sentence)
okay under the cut i got ramble again
nothing wrong with being a classy girly girl! i was definitely inbetween being a tomboy and a girly girl personally. i didnt get into the superhero animated shows until i was like, 11? i didnt really have much exposure to superheroes much before finding the shows, but i got my little sibling to watch some of the shows with me
i remember watching the avengers (2012) maybe like a year or so after it came out (it was on netflix at the time) but im pretty sure i started by watching the shows (i remember being disappointed bc the wasp wasnt in the movie even tho in the show she was one of the founding members, which i believe is the same in the comics, and i really liked wasp from the show. i did enjoy the movie, but i never watched any of the sequels until endgame, which at that point i watched solely bc i was promised captain marvel and then they only gave me like 5 minutes of her.
as for marvel comics i’ve mostly read young avengers & runaways stuff. i can’t remember if i got around to any captain marvel comics but i was gifted the novelization that came out after the movie that was like an (unofficial?) prequel to it and i did enjoy reading that.
on the note of random comic issues i literally bought a like 50 pack of random comics that was like idk some kinda deal and that is most of my comic collection which is just literally random issues, i think its all dc stuff but it could be a mix of dc and marvel? i'm back at my parents now so i'll have to dig out the box to take home with me before i leave so i can go through it. another thing thats frustrating with comics is when theres like a uhh like story that spans across multiple different comic runs? like i was reading the 2000 batgirl run as previously mentioned (i have finished it now) but i did ended up just skimming a few issues bc they were a part of some bigger batfam plot that was spanning across other comics and i could not be bothered to go find the issues that that particular story continued through.
totally fair to be the person who likes to complain about every little thing, and super valid to like a movie and also have some issues with it! i can totally respect peoples hangups about the bop movie not being a perfect comic adaptation and i would agree, but to me being a perfect adaptation and being a perfect movie are not mutually exclusive and i will hold it in my heart as a perfect movie aksdjglk (its right up there with the old guard in my personal movie rankings) my problem is when people hate it for stupid reasons (i still remember seeing a post hating on the movie for how it killed black mask ((it wasn't a good enough death for him)) like this movie isn't about him!! hes a loser! the only "better" option for his death is if harley ran him over with a combine tractor bc i think that would be funny as hell. but i dont think gotham is the type of city that has a lot of combine tractors.)
yeah as far as the dceu goes i didnt have any attachment to the batman or superman films (i only watched bvs for wonder woman lajdfkjladf) but like the 1st wonder woman was really good! (didnt watch the second one bc i heard poor reviews of it ((and not just from fanboys who can't take a female centric superhero movie))), i enjoyed the aquaman movie and the 1st shazam (still need to watch the 2nd one) and obviously i loved bop. i was super excited for the batgirl film and the casting of supergirl (would LOVE to see her get a movie!!) i guess we'll just have to see where things go now. alas. i’m more of a tv show guy anyways. (not that there’s the best history for live action dc tv shows either…but they sure do. exist! and i sure have consumed a large quantity!)
yeah i’m also so mad about the BC show being thrown out i was sooo excited for it :(((
god super valid re buying a comic you already have. i lowkey wanna find out if there is a nice comic book store near where im living rn bc at the very least it could be a nice way to force myself to get out for reasons other than to go to work and to grocery stores (though idk if it’s a good idea financially but it could be a cool. occasional treat)
also SUPER valid w the not being in a heavy comic mood, it really is smth that comes n goes like the tide and it’s like a big mental investment (at least in my opinion) to delve into the comics world and sometimes there’s just not enough brain to spare! no worries/pressure on picking it back up. (but if you do, and check out bombshells, united comes after the original run so i would rec starting w the originals first!)
also :O going as bombshells bc for halloween is SO cool mad respect (i loveeeee her bombshells design. which. i love MOST of the bombshells designs but. y’know) i tried to go as black canary for halloween one year i got leather boots and a leather jacket and maybe leather pants and a blonde wig. i was aiming for an arrowverse black canary (e1 laurel lance) but i didn’t really match even that well lol. oh well.
okay i am gonna wrap up this reply bc i do feel like i could ramble literally forever and i already feel bad about the late response but i do have a question regarding injustice. as far as where to start, i looked up the reading order and there’s like the prequel (year zero?) which the article i found said you don’t have to start with or even read at all so i was wondering what your thoughts were on the best place to start/if the prequel is any good
hope you’re having a lovely day!!
