They exist. However when they don't have FAITH in you as a company to repay their support-don't expect them to stay around.

They have seen what as done to Wally West, Young Justice kids, John Stewart and others.
They saw Cassandra Cain hold a 5 year run on a book and be DEEMED TOXIC.
They see a Redjack get death threats over a book.
They saw McDuffie get taken off a book over hatred for his JLA roster.
They saw talent come and butcher characters (looking at you Jason Rusch).

Lets try this-Cyborg volume 3 is being made.
What is DC going to do to PROVE this is not yet another man versus machine series?
Or the editor will NOT run the writer off like Harvey Richards did in volume 1?

What provisions are being taken to make sure Green Lantern franchise does not become One person worship with John like it was with Hal?
If Miles & Peter can co-exist -why can Barry and Wally?
When does Duke Thomas get right instead of changing powers every series?

Batman is an impediment if you are not willing to expand the market. Because everyone else is benefitting from it.

Batman can't get Moon Girl, Miles, Ms Marvel or Champion readers. Gotham Academy can. Young Justice could. Superson could too. Or is that Static's job?
