This site is remarkably in-depth. Not only does it cover DC comics, it also covers related video games (Such as Batman: Arkham Asylum, released in 2009) tv shows (Including Smallville as well as animated series like Justice League) movies (again, both live action (Batman Begins) and animated (All-Star Superman) and reports on comic-related news, such as today's announcement of Michael Shannon being cast as General Zod, an antagonist in the future Man of Steel film, a sequel to Superman Returns directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen).
The wiki covers a significant amount of ground in any of these categories. While many pages are low on text, and serve mostly as a placeholder for future users to edit, there are a great deal of pages that could tell you anything you wish to know about them. Take, for example, the Five Inversions. If you had heard of them at all before this, I would be incredibly surprised. They first showed up in a short story written by Alan Moore in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual # 2, first published in 1986, and they subsequently went unused for around 20 years, before being re-integrated into the backstory of Hal Jordan (The primary Green Lantern, and who this summer's movie is based around). And then there's the incredibly amount of characters with the same name, whether it be the same universe (Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Wally West have all been the Flash at one point or another) or in the entirety of DC comics (There's about 50 different links off the Superman disambiguation page.
Not surprising, this wiki has the most amount of sheer information, compared to 6 years of How I Met Your Mother, or even about 5 games worth of Fallout.
