I wish the upcoming Morrison/Johnson/Taylor panel could be about what was going on behind the scenes with 5G. I need to know more.

They'd never say anyway. Talking about what they might or might not be adapting from someone who isn't even with the company anymore I have to imagine would be a no-no.

I always got the impression that Morrison had friendly relationship with Didio so I can't see Morrison throwing Didio under the bus asides of some general remarks here and there that might not even be related to Didio.
I'm starting to get the impression that they are loud minority.
As for sales data, we don't know for sure the numbers, but we can look back at for example 2019 June and see that back then 100th title sold 20k so we can get the general idea. But I don't even think that it matters that much, what to me is more worrying is that in April it was 67th, in May 86th and in June 102th. For opposite example we can look at how, despite my many annoyances, Nightwing is doing: in April 45th, in May 38th, in June 33th.

They always were, and I speak as a Wally fan. Barry is the Flash now, because of the TV show, the animated movie universe, the DCEU, and the Injustice games. All use him and he is now the guy the general audience thinks of when they think of Flash. The most popular and well known Flash story is Flashpoint. That’s just how things are.

Superman was doing great sells wise with a slow decline that became a nosedive under bendis when he nuked the secret identity and aged up Jon
And Taylor and PKJ have been forced to continue that rejected status quo, regardless of how unpopular and frankly toxic it is
It’s doubling down on failure and PKJ is paying for it dearly...because unlike Tom Taylor...PKJ doesn’t have a brand.

I don't see it happening anytime soon. DDC and Death Metal were supposed to reboot DC but they didn't after delays and DiDio's firing. The new regime is taking its time to relaunch one book at the time and shake up things. At this rate, it'll be 2022 to get fully into their revised version of 5G. They are approaching things differently.
Maybe after this "legacy" phase will be over, they'll end up considering to streamline continuity and do a line wide relaunch/reboot? To soon to tell.
I was very very unhappy with New 52 but they have fixed a lot since then. It's too late to go back to pre Flashpoint, they have course corrected on a lot of problems and there are elements like Jon Kent I'd want to keep, so I don't want another hard reboot. The problems I'd want to see fixed can be done with the story moving forward, it doesn't really even need a soft reboot, although I think it's inevitable we'll get that pretty often. DC can't stop picking at it's continuity like a scab.
Just do a new line set in this “Elseworld”, a fresh start with solid writers who can run wild. They should’ve just made New 52 a separate line like Ultimate Marvel, and if they want to do something similar they shouldn’t repeat their past mistakes by trying to do it with E0.

I was under the impression for a while that Elseworld had already been revealed as that planet Darkseid was on. It was only recently I found out that was incorrect. I'd gotten wires crossed at some point. With it still being an unknown, here's hoping its something cool.
