I wouldn't really call comics from the same continuity "old".
Sticking with the established canon would have been imo as accessible for new reader, and more accessible for the old readers. While the number of readers that were really into the stories Morrison brought back, were probably quite small. And I don't really feel that the silver age stuff he brought back really added anything of worth to the Batman mythos.
