35. The Batman: White Knight Saga

Writer: Sean Murphy and Katana Collins

What if Batman started to act irrationally right as the Joker gained his sanity? What circumstances could cause both of these events? Those questions are answered.

Throughout this five-volume saga (that includes the side issues), you’ll see an improved Gotham City thanks to Jack Napier (Joker). Enjoy a lot of twists and random moments you’ll never see coming.

34. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Writer: Tom King

James Gunn picked a perfect project to bring Supergirl into his DCU. This isn’t the Supergirl that people think they know. She’s aggressive. Considering someone tried to kill her dog, it’s understandable.

This series isn’t narrated by Supergirl. It’s told through the eyes of her traveling companion. Her interpretation added to the tale. She makes Supergirl sound and appear mightier.

33. Harleen

Writer: Stjepan Šejić

Harley Quinn’s origin is well known. She fell in love with Joker while she was working at Arkham. Writer Stjepan Šejić revision shows that it wasn’t always an abusive relationship. Once upon a time, Joker may have loved her. Readers also learned it was more than the Joker’s influence that turned Harleen Quinzel into Harley Quinn.

32. Superman: The Warworld Saga

Writers: Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Grant Morrison

Superman could be the strongest comic book character ever. Whenever it looks like he can’t get more powerful, he goes to another level. During Superman: The Warworld Saga, his powers are taken away. Even without his godlike abilities, he’s still the hero that everyone admires.

31. Daredevil

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Waid, Ed Brubaker, Chip Zdarsky, and Charles Soule

Daredevil’s biggest evolution happened in the 2000s. He was broken down, thrown in jail twice, didn’t believe in himself, and died. Like any great protagonist, even Hell didn’t stop him from being a hero.
