New readers might enjoy 'JLA: The Nail'. It has a straightforward plot that explores what would happen if Superman was never adopted by the Kents. 'Batman: Year 100' is also a great choice. It's set in the future and has a different look at Batman's character. And 'Gotham by Gaslight' is perfect for those who like a different time - period setting for Batman stories. It's not too complex and has a lot of charm.

One of the best is 'The Dark Knight Returns'. It presents an older, grittier Batman coming out of retirement in a dystopian Gotham. Another great one is 'Red Son' where Superman lands in the Soviet Union instead of the United States, leading to a very different take on the DC universe. And 'Kingdom Come' is also excellent, showing a future where the old heroes are at odds with the new, more violent generation of heroes.

Sure. For new readers, 'Batman: Hush' is a great choice. It has a lot of popular Batman characters and a mystery - filled plot. Another good one is 'Superman: Red Son' which gives an alternate take on Superman's origin, where he lands in the Soviet Union instead of the United States.
New readers might like 'Batman and Robin: The Beginning'. It's a simple yet engaging story about how Batman and Robin started working together. 'Supergirl: Arrival on Earth' is also a nice pick. It tells the story of Supergirl coming to Earth and adjusting to life here. And 'Harley Quinn: The Start of Her Story' is good as it shows how Harley Quinn got involved with the Joker and started her journey in the DC world.
I'd recommend 'DC Holiday Special'. It has multiple short stories, so new readers can sample different styles and characters. They can see how different heroes and villains interact during the holidays without having to commit to a long, complex storyline.
