MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1960, and multiple new series have been published since then.

DC's flagships were superheroes with their own comic books such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and several more. When people began to lose interest in the stories DC put together a handful of the superheroes in a series named Justice League. The series proved successful and several other superheroes were added through time.
