On Wednesday, DC Comics co-publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio swooped into Burbank’s Buena Vista Branch Library for a panel discussion of the “essential” stories from the expansive DC universe. The event, the second in a four-event collaboration between Warner Bros. and the Burbank Public Library, drew a diverse crowd that ranged in age from kindergartners to retirees.
