My cousin insisted I start with 'The Dark Knight Returns' to get into Batman

I read it last year and honestly, it made the modern stuff feel kinda flat for a while. Anyone else have a 'starter' comic that totally reset their expectations?

Try starting with the animated series instead.

Totally agree, the animated show is the best way in. It introduces all the main characters and the world without being too much. You get a real feel for the story and the style before jumping into the deeper stuff. It's like a friendly welcome instead of being thrown into the deep end. That foundation makes the live action stuff way more enjoyable later on.

Yeah, the animated series is a good call. Way easier to get into. Those live action movies can be a lot right off the bat. The show gets the vibe without being so heavy. Perfect starting point.
