>>109267080King’s Batman chased away readers
If Batman readers don’t want to come in and pick up Batman, they aren’t going to want to pick up anything else DC.
Not to mention making shit like Heroes in Crisis and trying to make Wally West a serial killer (and no, chickening out at the last second doesn’t fix it) and just antagonizing Fans in general.
Didio even blamed fans for buying old comics instead of their current shitty comics for their failures.
It also doesn’t help that no one knows what is even going on in the DC universe (not even the people in charge). You got JL vs Luthor and LoD, Leviathan, and Bane taking over Gotham all happening at the same time. And it just confuses everyone. Why should readers care that Leviathan is destroying organizations when Lex is trying to fuck over the universe? It feels like everyone is ignoring each other and most stuff just isn’t important.
And really, what is there to be excited about in the Future of DC? Bendis on Batman? DeConnick giving Barry Allen amnesia? Tom King taking random character and giving them PTSD?
