I feel like getting back into DC proper. Can't wait to see that new Batman Beyond.

Actually, they don't.
I'm all for nostalgia and all but the only responsibility they have is to themselves, to ensure their own survival as a company. And if it means that now to look out for new readers is the way to go, well, it's their money on the table.
That's something maybe we tend to forget sometimes as we love so much those characters and we think only about them but there is people who are investing real money for those books to be published. And they want to make some money back.
Plenty of cancelled titles had stellar creative teams on them in the past 3 years. You ar just ignoring the facts to try to push your point, but its not true eat all. I, Vampire had stellar creative talent and sold like shit. Swamp Thing post-Snyder was fantastic, sold like shit. Dial H was a great title, sold like shit. It's more like Dan and the Gang published plenty of books fans REALLY needed to discover.

Thank god you aren't running the company. Ok, let's get rid of the most popular superhero ever so that we can have "truth in advertising". Why are you spewing negativity on this thread? They are doing exactly what you wish - instead of 52 old school superhero books they are trimming that to 25 and trying out new concepts with the rest of the line. Everyone that's been crying for diversity, creator freedom, and new concepts just got exactly what they wanted. So why are the same old folks back complaining about this as well?
But why only look for what new readers want, when in reality, you COULD be giving both audiences what they want???
And if they want to make money, you are wrong: They need to appeal to as many people as possible. It would be stupid as hell, for ANY business, in ANY field to forget about long time customers/fans and only focus on new customers/fans. ESPECIALLY when it is completely in their power to make everyone happy.
