With Morrison gone I'll only read Snyder's BATMAN and Superman. Nu52 lost me, while Marvel Now has me buying even more. It seems like DC is in bad shape, but I'm not sure if comic shops or the internet are an accurate barometer. Is that all conjecture, and would you consider Nu52 an economic success, if not a critical one? Do you think they are in it too deep now to ever revert back to the "Old 52'? I feel like another line-wide reboot is inevitable, but the suits might not think it's needed.
I don’t think you can call the New 52 a failure at all–it raised both circulation and interest in that entire line of books, and while that interest has now largely dissipated, it still put them back in the game in a major way. I don’t think there’s any way they could ever go back to the old DCU, any more than they could go back to the Pre-Crisis DCU. It’s much more likely that at some point, a decade or two down the line, they’ll try another reboot or continuity shuffle–that historically has been the way they’ve done things since the mid-80s.
