Highest DC: Justice League
Lowest DC: Prez
Both are two of my 3 favorite DC monthlies, other is Martian Manhunter.
Highest Non-DC: Invincible Iron Man
Lowest Non-DC: Ivar, Timewalker (really good too)
Highest: Justice League (which is pretty low considering how good it is).
Lowest: Omega Men (Even sadder. Along with Midnighter and JL, OM is one of the best books of the year).
Re-launching #1 every 6 minutes like Marvel does feels like cheating man. The difference between IIM #1 and #2 is HUGE.

Lowest at DC: Bat-Mite
Highest at Marvel: Invincible Iron Man
Lowest at Marvel: Ms. Marvel
Highest Non-Big Two: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Lowest Non-Big Two: Mega Man
Regularly: Titans Hunt
Irregularly: Grayson (the two Annuals in a year and a Secret Origins issue kinda broke my stride)
Dropped and will come back to later when price dops since my buying it apparently won't help it survive: Omega Men
"There's magic in the sound of analog audio." - CNET.
Batman
Sensation Comics
Highest: Justice League
Lowest: Midnighter (I'm coming to be at peace with its likely imminent cancellation)
Wow DC You is such a massive failure. Stop with the batgirling and vertigo-ish titles. Its obvious people are voting with their money and they want DC to be putting 10 batman, superman and justice league titles. DC should start pulling a marvel, relaunch their titles and rebrand it. Secret Six failed? No worries, Secret Seven then. Omega Men failed, no worries, Kyle Rayner and the Omega Men. Midnighter failed? Midnighter and the Stormwatch then.
Highest: Justice League
Lowest: Dr. Fate.

Highest: Batman
Lowest: Omega Men
Highest: Batman
Lowest: Omega Men (if were are counting Vertigo, then Fables: The Wolf Among Us)
Lowest other: Copperhead
Though I read a fair bit of DC ones that are pretty regularly low (Midnighter, Dr. Fate, Gotham By Midnight).
So, looking at what I actually bought in October:
Highest DC - Batman and Robin Eternal #1
Lowest DC - Green Arrow Annual #1
Lowest - Captain Canuck #4
Honorable Mentions - Several Aspen comics I read that did not seem to make the Top 300.
Batman is just one book, one choice, all of those people buying Batman are also buying other books. If people were not buying Batman it is not as if all of those low selling books would start selling 50K-100K, they might actually all get canceled because DC could not pay the bills anymore. The problem is the market is saturated. It actually needs more brands like Batman. Brands bring people back every month so maybe they will try the occasional new book. However, when every book out there seems to be trying to be that great book that critics love but no one is reading then no book can gain enough traction to actually be the book that everyone is buying.
Normally I'd sort-of agree, but in this case (right after messing with their version of the Multiverse in Secret Wars) it's probably a little closer to when DC relaunched EVERYTHING at the start of the New 52.
But that seems to happen quite a bit in many of the months when Marvel double-ships. (Don't know if people sometimes may pre-order just one issue to see how it goes or if they just didn't realize there was a second issue in that same month.)
Yes, let's do ALL-BATMAN, ALL THE TIME!!! Not!
DC publishes Vertigo books and there are people who like them. You have to assume DC realizes they won't be mega-colossal sellers, but there may be other benefits to them. As for many of the titles we know are ending, quite a few were previously announced as mini-series, so whether some people didn't buy them because of that could be an issue.
We also only know from those numbers what COMIC BOOK SHOPS IN THE U.S. ordered; we don't know about overseas sales, digital sales, etc. Hell, we don't know how many of those books were bought by ACTUAL READERS, nor do we know if people bought just one copy or multiple copies. And the only way DC is going to discover the next big thing outside of Batman, etc. is to try different things out and see how they sell. Otherwise, if you only publish the same old crap, what happens when those current buyers go away?
