I do not agree. And I do believe your opinion comes from a place of deep ignorance. Or you are trying to get an angry response.

Either way. It's childish and I will not participate on it any further than this. Have a good day.

Every time Grundy is reborn in the swamp, he comes back with another personality. Around the time the Staan series kicked in, he came back with the personality of a frail child, and having been wandering Opal City's sewers, Jack and Ted take him in along with the Starman of another world. I forgot his name.

Don't cede arguments the OP didn't even make.
Plenty of superheroes that people find "compelling" are quite simple.

Just to be mean I'm going to argue that it's not Batman, but his cast of villians that's the most compelling thing about Batman comics.
>>
>>84090126
Take Hal Jordan off there. He's probably the least interesting Lantern. I like him and he has potential when he's written well, but he comes off as a little bland. Even Geoff Johns kinda made him bland and Hal is his waifu.

Replace him with Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner.

Other interesting DC characters include:
>Wonder Woman
>Amanda Waller
>Deadshot
>Catman
>John Constantine
>Mera
>Orm
>Black Adam
>Sinestro
>motherfucking SUPERMAN (really? The only people who think he's boring are morons)
>Kate Kane
>Cassandra Cain
>Lady Shiva
>Vic Sage
>Renee Montoya
>the Fourth World

The DCU is loaded with interesting characters. Just because most people have shit taste doesn't make it not true.

I'd toss Deathstroke off, as well as Jason the moment he is brought back into the Bat-Family proper.
I'd also toss Supes on. The potential for tyranny on unprecedented levels being completely ignored and instead used just to help those in need compels me personally on a daily basis.

Oh yeah, absolutely. The Showcase stuff is as subtle as a sledgehammer. But it's still pretty heavy stuff for its time, and the themes of trying to retain some semblance of humanity in the dehumanizing environment of war ring true, albeit in more fantastic ways.
That said, the best thing starring Hans von Hammer is still War Idyll, with War in Heaven a close (but not too close) second.
