I really hope that they’re just going to create an MC2 version of the DC Universe because it’s going to be so contrived the way that everyone leaves.

I dislike it completely, but maybe I could get some enjoyment out of this thread anyway.

Same here, I pretty much dropped DC during New 52, though I did give it a good shot and then I came back full bore when Rebirth was announced and I've been going strong ever since. And I absolutely will keep tabs on how things are going. I'll never leave comics completely.
After the initial shock of reading all of this a few days ago.... that’s what I’m going to do too. I’m mainly a classic reader but still like following today’s comics of Bruce Wayne Batman and Clark Kent Superman. Those are my heroes not some replacements. Same goes with Barry and Hal.
I’ll likely continue reading up to the event actually happens, then make that be my be all end all stopping point for buying anything DC current.
In my head reading canon, DC stories ended.
More money for classic stories too.

Reliving my second childhood.... Making my TPB's take a back seat.....I'm now a new DC Omnibus and Hard Bound Book Collector: Batman: The Golden Age Omni V1 / Legends of the Dark Knight: Jim Aparo Vol. 2 / Gotham Central Omni / Justice League of America Silver Age Omni's V1 & V2 / Superman: The Golden Age Omni V1/ Green Lantern Omni V1
with many more purchases soon to come.....
The absolute lunacy of editorial is bringing along DC's downfall quite swimmingly. It's difficult to really even think of a place to start with all this. You'd think that after seeing the absolute failure of Marvel's "All New All Different", DC would know not to go down this route. Perhaps they're hoping outrage will attract temporary readers, spiking sales? And after the sales quickly plummet, what happens afterwards? Are they simply expecting the alienated longtime readers to just return as per the status quo? Marvel has even gone to show that good stories starring the original characters sell very well. Just look at Immortal Hulk, Absolute Carnage, and House of X (I'm not a fan of House of X though). I'm having trouble figuring out what monetary gain they're expecting to find.

YES. Because they know their fans. They KNOW who they can do this mess too and get away with it.Are they simply expecting the alienated, longtime readers to just return as per the status quo?
Marvel is guilty of trying to give folks SHOTS. For all that crying about replacing folks and SJW trolling-Bruce Banner was the only one was really gone for an extended time.
The legacy folks-Ms Marvel, Jane, Miles, Nadia, Amadeus, Ghostrider, Nighthawk (sort of), Fury, DOOM (not Riri), Punisher, Sam Alexander, Kate Bishop, Carol Danvers, Falcon as Cap America (AGAIN) & X-23 as Wolverine. What are we talking 15 (maybe 20 folks/titles).
Non legacy-Scarlet Witch, Cage, Vision, Ironfist, Prowler, Solo, Foolkiller, Squirrel Girl, Rocket Raccoon, Dax, Mosaic, Moon Girl, Jean Grey, Iceman, Groot, Gamora, Kanack, Silkk, Deadpool, Peter, Steve, Tony, Odison, Punisher, Moon Knight, America, Starbrand, Falcon, Loki, Dora Mojaie, Shuri, Black Panther, Thing/Johnny (Marvel 2 in 1), Dr Strange, Venom, Carnage, Inhumans, Mockingbird, Black Knight, Redwolf, Angel, Agents of Shield, X-Men, Hercules, Howard the Duck, Howling Soldiers, Hellcat, Avengers, Silver Surfer, Star Lord, GOTG, Thunderbolts and about 10 more.
Many of these guys held solos or minis in the past. Yet all the cries we heard was attacking POC & female lead books. For EXISTING.
Now come to DC-where you DON'T see that. Every book here has a discussion about STORY CONTENT. Even Cyborg's failed books. There is a discussion about story content.
Even if there are folks not reading a book-guess what they still show RESPECT and wish it LUCK. Some even jump on board when recommendations show up for some books.
See Naomi, Outsiders, Wonder Twins & Dial H.
Dc is BANKING on any backlash will be flooded out by those who READ the books.
For as SILLY Luke Fox as Batman sounds-someone is going to READ it and LIKE it. Dc will get PRAISE for putting a black man in that outfit. Who will FORGET about Black Lightning, Duke, Cyborg, Wallace & Vixen.
As for angry older readers-why should Dc care when they keep coming back? See Marvel. For all that crying all those books saw trades. That take up space along with Immortal Hulk and the others.
The downside to doing this is-you are NOT selling Luke Fox as Luke Fox. That is still Batman's name. What happens after Luke is done as Batman?
America and Moon Girl are legacy characters. Moon Girl replaced an old character called Moon Boy, who was Devil Dinosaur's original partner, while America's full codename is Miss America, which belonged to a golden age heroine.
It's Howling Commandos, not Howling Soldiers - and that's a legacy team too, as the originals were a team of World War II soldiers, while the new one was a team of monsters.
Punisher is NOT a legacy character. That's always been Frank Castle.
