Your opinion on the new 52? What are you liking? What aren't you liking?

Supergirl

OMG KARA I LOVE YOU! OK so I wasn't going to read this series at first. I was reading Superboy and Superman and they were both meh ok. Idk why but I decided to give this a try and I think it's the best (or well tied for best) series of the relaunch! I love it so much! I love how they write Kara, I love how they draw her. I just love everything about it so far. I'm excited each month for this to come out!!

Batwoman

This is tied with supergirl for me as best series. It is AMAZING! I did not think I was gonna like it. Cause well I'm very judgy lol and I thought she looked creepy, her mask the pale white skin and flamey red hair. I just was turned off by how she was drawn. But I gave it a chance because someone recommended it and I just fell in love with it. The way its drawn is just wow, the whole design and the way the panels flow is so different then the rest I love it!! And the story arc right now is sooo good! Everyone needs to read this!!

Batman & Robin:

This is one of my favorite series of the relaunch. I really love Damian. I loved the whole first arc on it, kind of disappointed theyre going to bring on the stupid owl storyline but I'll see how it plays out. I love the dynamic between Bruce and Damian. Damian such a little psycho lol but I love him. Oh and how beautiful was the last cover? *cries at the adorableness*

Red Hood and the Outlaws

Loving this one. I love Jason. He's so complicated lol. OMG the issue where
we get to see Robin!Jason sick and snuggling with Bruce just about killed me. I can't with the sweetness!!
I really hope we get to see Jason interact with Bruce in the coming issues. We've seen his anger towards Dick but his feelings for Bruce are obviously complicated. I dont really care about Starfire its hard for me to take her seriously lol cause I grew up watching Teen Titans and shes so...different. I love Roy though he's a great match for Jason.

Superman

I have very mixed feelings about this. On one hand the storyline for Superman is interesting, at least it was in the first few issues then it lost my interest. But on the other hand there's not enough Clark. And I dont like what theyre doing with Lois. I really hate that they took out their marriage and that they made her not a reporter SHES NOT shes a stupid head anchor whatever -_- do not like. But I will keep reading cause Idk I want to lol

Superboy

I like Conner. I think he's really well written and interesting. The story arc I'm undecided I kind of like it but idk. I liked the crossover with Teen Titans. I hope they keep doing that. I liked that crossover much better then the one with Supergirl. That was pointless.

Teen Titans

This is actually pretty good. Not a big fan of all the titans but I love Tim, and I surprisingly really love Cassie. I didn't think I would but I love her. Oh and I love kid Flash!!! Those three are the best things about it so far. And the crossover with Superboy.

Those are the ones I'm invested in. I'm trying to keep up with a lot of the new 52 but those are the ones I'm enjoying. Others I'm reading but don't love are Batgirl Babs is Oracle! End of story. Nightwing...mostly dont like it cause the print hurts my eyes lol the storylines ok. Birds of Prey have only read one so can't really judge. Justice League, I love the dynamic between Batman and Green Lantern but thats about the only stand out thing to me.
 
Hmm I like BOP. I'm going to have to check out more of the ones you listed. I've heard such good things about Batwoman but I HATE the character and can't make myself read it lol
 
This is the only Batwoman I've read so I cant compare them lol but I really like her. She's the kind of character I generally like though lol.
 
oooooooh among the New 52 books been loving

Action Comics
Animal Man (which who thought that be a book to watch)
Swamp Thing (again who thought that be a book to watch)
OMAC (sad it was canceled)
Frankenstein Agent of SHADE
Justice League International
Wonder Woman
Superboy
Auqaman (for the third time, who thought that be a book to watch)
All-Star Western

Green Lantern
Batwoman
Birds of Prey (Sterling: best new character of 2012)
Red Lanterns
Batwing (Seriously one of the top 3 bat books)

The only books i don't really like are
Fury of the Firestorm
Batgirl
Hawk and Dove (which got canceled so no big)
Teen Titans (which I'm forced to read to enjoy Superboy)
Batman: The Dark Knight (blah too 90's for my taste)
Blue Beetle (which i just hate what they did to the character)

I'm loving the relaunch more then i thought i would when it was first announced, hugely enjoyable for me
 
Best? Super Girl (after several starts & reboots...it seems that they've finally found their footing w/ Kara & I like her)

Teen Titans

Catwoman (short lived as it was, it was nice to see the title back...but nothing will ever compare to its glorious run in the mid to late 90s)

-----------------

Worst? for me....Wonder Woman :( Yes i'm a George Perez/Karen Berger era fangirl...I;ve tried to give other who took over the title a chance (including John Byrne)...but no one seems to know how to handle her. The reboot REALLY didn't help me get over my growing cold over the WW title either.

Batgirl
totally agree about supergirl! They're doing Kara justice!

I haven't read most of the ones you listed haha I tend to stick to the Supes and Batfamily. I like the Teen Titans so far but I definitely agree about Batgirl!
 
I haven't read Wonder Woman and these reviews definitely dont make me want to lol. I've only seen her in the JL series.

Wonder Woman's comic is way better at showing her as Wonder Woman then the 16 year old that shows up as Wonder Woman in name only in Justice League.

The current Wonder Woman is not in a classic style for the series or character so that is turning a lot of people off the series but it is one of the most highly acclaimed titles of the reboot right now.
