Yeah, I dealt with that:

... and by focusing on that you denied the validity of the rest of my statement.
*sigh*
Okay, I'm done needling you about this. I'm glad you've found some comics in the New 52 that hold some promise for you.
Some people have taken the approach that DC has made this change and there's nothing to be done for it but roll with the changes and make the best of it. Others have said that DC did this massive injustice to the ongoing continuity of some beloved characters, in some cases bringing intriguing story lines to a screeching halt, all in the name of chasing more money ... and one way to protest is by denying them that money. I'm in that faction, and I'm voting with my wallet. There are plenty of other great reads out there.
