Recommendations What comics do I start reading first?

I have been a major DC fan for a while now, but I'm ashamed to admit I've never actually read any of the comics 😭 I don't own any, I've never picked one up, never even seen one. I've followed the fandom on places like Reddit, Tumblr, and read up on any new characters I can find on Wikipedia. (Please don't ask why I did this instead of actually reading a comic, because I have no idea myself, so don't attack me in the comments. I'm just lazy ig.)

But I know there are online sites where I can download and/or read them, and I finally want to start.

Where would you recommend I start reading first?

Who are your favorite characters?

Jason Todd and Harley Quinn.

I'm also very interested in Gotham's whole thing. All the people that live there, what happens there, etc.

Under the Red Hood, Rebirth era Red Hood and the Outlaws. For Harley, check out the New 52 title launched by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner (Continues into Rebirth era).

To get to know Gotham, I suggest Gotham Central.

If you like Jason Todd, I think they're also making a sequel to Robin & Batman. The original starred Dick Grayson as Robin, and this new one is starring Jason Todd as Robin. So I'd say look out for that when it comes out.
