DCU Links
These are sites for which I hold tremendous admiration.
Most are time-tested, high quality, archival sites... or just plain fun.
I'll be frank, it takes a lot of clout to stay on my links list!
JLA Links • JSA Links • Legion Links
Of Exceptional Worth
All of the following sites are still maintained. For other good archival sites, see below.

Collected Issues of the Dark Knight
Woo hoo! I finally found two Bat-sites worth recommending.

Time will tell whether this was a good idea. It's a Wiki-based site devoted
only to DC properties. It keeps slightly different standards (some better,
some worse) than Wikipedia.
