#my dad thought Damian was Batman and Catwoman's son...I will teach him dw

ASDFAFSFAD yes Martian Manhunter solo run when will you return my beloved, I will keep feeding people while waiting.

I consider myself a first gen fan! While my dad is a superhero fan, he's pretty broadly into the movie universes. He reads old timey comics as a hobby (a mix of old Indonesian comics and some translated DC comics!). It's been fun seeing him reconnect with reading comics again, but he's pretty casual with liking superhero stuff.

(Martian Manhunter speaking Bahasa Indonesia confirmed???)

I grew up watching the DCAU (mostly Justice League + Unlimited but I was able to catch BTAS movies every now and again like Mask of the Phantasm), and loved Teen Titans! I got bullied for being "a girl into superheroes" so I kept quiet about it until college where I loudly got into BTAS (and the Arkham games) thanks to a comics writing class! I became such a Bat fan that I even won a Batman trivia contest where my prize was a Batman Black and White Sean Galloway statue. Which in turn, inspired my dad to collect Superhero figurines, haha.

My favorite comics class assignments were always the re-imagining ones! We'd be assigned a DC or Marvel character to reinvent or modernize (into a comic or re-design them). Which explains why I like doing this AU stuff now!

i’m genuinely interested to hear whether dc blogs here are first gen, second gen, third gen fans.

i’m a second gen fan, i grew up with my dad’s DO NOT TOUCH memorabilia cabinet full of figurines and special comics etc, so i was introduced to it very earlier in my life, but i’m pretty much in a completely different interest area to my dad.

all the comics and characters i enjoy now are ones my dad didn’t care for (namely the robins), and i’d be interested to see what corner of this massive fandom you/your parents/grandparents were into compared to you.
