Why would he retake the name Robin?
Right now Tim Drake as Robin had the most success. Same as Cassandra Cain as Batgirl.
THIS...............As others have said, he seems like a nice guy and people constantly have good things to say about him. I wish him no ill will. But running a company on your personal whims rather than what your customers want always seemed stupid to me. Bringing back Barry Allen and Barbara Gordon is one thing. Actively shitting on their replacements to the point that you flat-out remove them from continuity just because you personally dislike them is something I just don't get.
Argue about whether Barry or Wally sold better, whatever. Wally held his own series for decades. Even if you weren't gonna give him a solo book with Barry around, he couldn't be in a team of some kind? You're gonna tell me his fans wouldn't have followed him in a Justice League spin-off or Titans or something? Same for characters like Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain. If they can't have the mantle, whatever, but just flat out deciding nobody is allowed to use them at all out of spite seemed counterproductive. But that's just my two cents.
NO it all falls on his feet. If there are constant issues with books with writers bailing out (see new 52 Static Shock and Cyborg)-that is on him. Those editors have to answer to HIM.It was actually kinda brilliant business for him to take all the blame, too.
If I have writers whose book are constantly among the worst sellers or reviewers-why is that writer still there and getting MORE books. While guys like Priest despite the resume gets offered Cyborg multiple times before getting Deathstroke.
If Tom King wanted to clear out the bat support staff for solo Batman-explain the crapping on Duke Thomas to the point he was out of the book for a year after doing cameos.
It falls at his feet.
He allowed the crapping of so many characters including the ones that SOLD.
