I feel like it's a bit of a warning sign that Batman couldn't even reach 6 issues without bringing in an extra artist.
Glad that Supergirl by Peter David has been resolicited, was really annoyed when I preordered it last month to discover it had been cancelled.

It's not a warning sign of any sort. Its because the Bat crossover is happening in issue #7 and it has a completely different creative team from the titles involved in it. It was set up that way intentionally as a part of the twice monthly set up to give the writers and particularly the artists extra time.

Commentary:
Looking forward to the Bat-Book x-over since I don't have to buy any additional issues. Plus, Bruce, Dick and Kate together sounds awesome as they are my faves of the BatFam.
I hope Priest's Deathstroke is as cool as I'm hoping it will be.He's always been one of my favorite writers.
Green Arrow sounds great.Really. My most anticipated book after......
Titans. Hopefully BumbleBee will be the only addition to the roster for awhile. I'd really like to see the core team have quite a few issues to work together before they start messing with the roster.
More Linsner Harley is awesome plus the last of my pre-rebirth titles comes out. I haven't been all that excited about that mini so I'm glad that it will be over.
Suicide Squad may only last on my list for only as long as Jim Lee does. Now that the Titans are back, I don't really need two teams to follow plus I only buy it because of Harley and I am getting plenty of her in her own books. We'll see depends on.....
Teen Titans Rebirth. Gonna check this out. I like Damien and the old NTT crew so I'll give this a shot.
Superwoman. I would like to buy a Super-Book regularly and since this one has the best art, It's the one I'm going with. Plus, she looks pretty cool. Would rather have a Power Girl book though.
"Artists constantly changing is completely taking me out of Rebirth. I am not going to follow series which are going to have different artists all the time." - Agreed! The idea of having two or three artists on a series already had me on the fence, but has anyone noticed just how many FILL-IN artists are on titles this month?! On top of the usual two or three "regular" artists? I mean, wasn't that the entire point of having multiple regular artists on a single title? Totally killing Rebirth for me, I'm about to drop them all.
I almost think a better way of doing things might be how Wonder Woman appears to be heading. Have two artists, and two different storylines going on within the book. That way you can follow one storyline with one artist, and another storyline with the second artist, trades don't look like a mess when they're compiled, and it's almost like you're getting two titles featuring the same character, within one book! Just my thoughts on this whole multiple artists mess...
Having different artists on different issues doesn't particularly bother me. The art is there to tell the story. Unless it's really really bad, it doesn't really matter to me.
Different artists on the same issue bothers me. Different artists on different issues doesn't particularly bother me either. Unless, as you say, the fill in artist is really bad.
But that is how things ARE set up. One artist doing one storyline and then another artist comes in for the next one with a break between them so that artists have time to get ahead on their work. All that's different here is how each book's creative teams has decided to go about setting that up. Wonder Woman's creative teams opted for telling concurrent stories; one set in the past and on in the present. Other books decided to do it by story arcs rather then to have two different stories running at the same time. Neither set up bothers me particularly because we are still going to have one artist per story arc regardless of the specifics of the the set up.

That has nothing to do with it. How does a 3-part Batman crossover with a completely different artist on #7 have anything to do with neither Janin or Finch being the artist on #6?
I'm not saying they couldn't keep up or whatever, I'm sure it was planned, just that (for me) it's a bit of a warning sign that the first 8 issues of the new Batman series would have had 4 different artists (assuming Janin is drawing the next full arc)
