*** [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] loves cereal and pineapple pizza.
*** Jason Todd loves chili dogs and bread. He also loves Neapolitan ice-cream.
*** Tim Drake loves doughnuts. And potato chips. He's rarely seen eating anything else.

As revealed in ''ComicBook/Robin1993'' #116, his favourite pizza topping is Canadian bacon and onion with artichoke hearts.

** According to MediaNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}, Superman's favorite food is beef bourguignon with ketchup. In the [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs Injustice]] [[VideoGame/Injustice2 video game series]] it even counts as a SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay. Early 2000's comics vary on whether Superman is a vegetarian or not, and if he is he prefers peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, possibly a {{shoutout}} to a licensed Superman peanut butter from the 1960s and 1970s. In the 90's, he frequently mentioned that he liked his mom's rhubarb pie.
** Clark and Lois are mentioned as being very serious about the diet of their son Jon Kent, and limit how much junk food he eats. When he's away from parental supervision for any period of time, such as when he's hanging out with Damian, he tends to drink as much soda as he can get away with. When his folks ''are'' around, he's usually drinking milk.
** Lex Luther loves cakes so much that he once stole forty when no one was looking. He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens, AndThatsTerrible!
* Rorschach of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' is often seen eating sugar cubes, but given his personality, it's hard to know if he eats them out of like of the taste or simple need for something to give him energy easily. He also seems to be fond of raw eggs, and beans straight from the can. He is never seen eating anything cooked (though he sits in the Gunga Diner).

* After [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] introduced him to Oreos, they quickly became the ComicBook/MartianManhunter's favorite food, unto addiction. By the time that his solo series did a whole issue about his addiction, the chocolate cookies had become "Chocos" to [[BlandNameProduct avoid any legal difficulties.]] (J'onn was even buried with one.)

* ComicBook/MartianManhunter ''loves'' Chocos, the DCU's lawyer-friendly equivalent to Oreos. He loves them to the point that when Blue Beetle and Booster Gold buy every Choco in the area, he turns into a raging monster. Turns out Chocos have a chemical reaction with Martian physiology equivalent to that of narcotic drugs with human physiology. Eventually, J'onn manages to bring it down by using his shapeshifting to excise the parts causing the addiction, but he still loves them, to the point where after his death in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', Batman leaves a Choco on his grave.
