Do you like Superman and Batman's friendship but don't know where to start reading? Or are you just looking for more to read? This list is for you!
Comics can be quite hard and complicated to navigate, especially when two characters have interacted for 69 years. A lot has happened in that time! I made this reading guide to help you along. It's organized by era and (mostly) in chronological order.
Many thanks to @katsuyacrimson and Orph for their input and help, and @worldsfinest for some last-minute info!
Some personal faves:
World's Finest vol. 2 (1990) >> Good starting point if you want a self-contained story that is not really in continuity.
Superman/Batman (2003) >> Good starting point. See under 'Post-crisis' for reading order.
Dark Knight over Metropolis >> See under 'Post-crisis' for reading order.
Batman/Superman (2013) #1-4 and #16-20 + annual #2
Batman/Superman (2019) #16-21 + annual 2021
Alright, long list under the cut. Enjoy your reading!

I kind wanna see more funny/platonic limbus interactions a la Hell’s Chicken, both canon and fandom side
Like I want to have scenarios where car seat trio (Don, Yi Sang, and Sinclair) have to go on a food run, but then shenanigans ensue cuz Don Don done goofed/abno freak accident/run in with a syndicate/WHATEVAHS
Or Ishmael going on a weird monologue-y rant about her becoming the butt monkey lately to the big brick wall of a seatmate that is Meursault
Or even that despite Heathcliff having a bat as his main weapon of choice, he never actually had a proper game of baseball, leading to the first annual (not really because there’s no way this will happen again, at least consistently) LCB baseball game. This will end with blood being shed one way or another
I just really like these idiots being idiots together

tom scott would absolutely fit in arknights by virtue of how detailed the worldbuilding is in this game. yes this is just about the "im at X" thing he does every video.
"im at an abandoned amusement park in chernobog-"
"im in sami"
"i am about to cross a road in nuova volsinii"
"i am in vyseheim-"
"i am still in sami"
"i am here with dr kaltsit-"
"im at rhine HQ"
"im in front of a shop in county hillock"
"i am here at the ursus-higashi border-"
(loud voice bc windy) "IM AT THE FIELD OF FORGOTTEN WATER"
(whispering) "i am inside the mansfield state prison"
(shouting) "I AM ABOUT TO ENTER A KAWALERIELKI MAJOR ARENA"
"im at the entrance to gran faro-"
"im on a train to kjerag-"
(in kazdel, somehow) "i am here with dr kaltsit again-"
"i am in the golden city in sargon!"
"im at the iron carrot mining platform-"
"i am in laterano-"
"im at the obsidian festival"
"i am in front of the lgd headquarters"
(talking abt zeruertza) "im on top of a city"
"i am at mount hymnoi"
"im in calaisblason-"
"i am back from sami."
"i am in dossoles!"
"im in one of the naval battalions heading towards the sea"
due to how on-the-nose arknights is about real life inspirations, the tom scott of terra would be a feline. BUT it would also be funny if it was a team rainbow situation
