It's a really cool one because he wrote "Quick! To the Batmobile!" It would cost $20 to get that one authenticated. The second one (my favorite autograph yet) is signed by Dave Grohl (now lead singer of the Foo Fighters) and Krist Novoselic, both formerly of Nirvana. This one would cost $50 to get authenticated. The third is a glossy 5" x 7" photo signed by Tommy Ramone (original drummer of The Ramones and the last surviving original member).

Which ones (if any) should I get authenticated, and is PSA DNA reliable? Thanks!

99% of the time PSA DNA is reliable. they have had some mistakes.
I don't know if it will increase the value, as the value is usually set by how rare or popular the person is you have signed. But it will mark it as authentic so if you do decide to sell, you can assure your buyer that a neutral 3rd party verified the signature to be real.
as far as which?
that is totally up to you
