In a way I could see the EO line becoming a sort of new continuity unto itself. This might be kind of a hard sell. New 52 was a hard enough sell and it still tried to keep some of the old history.

2) Go back to the pre-COIE continuity by having some big event where the heroes go back and prevent the Crisis from ever happening in the first place and then incorporate some of the modern elements into the "old" continuity. Like the Super-marriage or the birth of Damien. Even then it might be a little hard to incorporate some elements like Jessica Cruz or what to do with Wally.
You do that and that mass exodus of fans is even LARGER.

Because you are still held hostage by when does BLANK show up. If Dick is Robin when does Jason, Tim & Damian show up? No one is going to wait 10-25 years.

You would be better off doing a history of DC guide that starts out with a set origin for everybody. From Batman to Hawk & Dove and even Z list folks.

Have it online and DC no fans update it. So if someone sees say Sideways in a book you have a place where you can go and get all his appearances and history to find those books.
