IMO New 52 should had been a Ultimate line like Marvel had start with like 7 books a Superman, a Batman, a Flash, a Green Lantern/Green Arrow Book Maybe, the Justice League, and a Teen Group either Titans or Young Justice to showcase the younger heroes. This way to start at a real Ground zero to could use any version of any character you wanted without history or baggage which would be friendlier to new readers and also allow creator to go in directions they never allow the main continuity out of fear of scary off readers. If DC really wanted a line of books of their most popular heroes that wasn't bogged by continuity and fresh start this was the way to go IMO.
