Spoiler for Hidden:
I'm sort of under the impression that this is all a good thing. Rather than being all tied up in continuity or whatever, writers will be able to use whatever version of a hero suits them best.
Oh, yes... that was downright insulting to the readers, I thought. Maybe that will be a story that will be told soon. (But, probably, by the worst writer/artist team they have under contract right now)
Anything that lessens the horror of the New 52 is welcome :P
I almost bought Convergence.
I decided against it because if the Convergence books were good, then my anger towards DC would be be reignited. On the other hand, if I bought the books and they were bad, DC would have taken me for yet another ride.
I would only have bought a handful of titles:
Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes
Infinity Inc.
Justice Society of America
Plastic Man and the Freedom Fighters
As you can tell, I'm a fan of team books.
In this case, it might simply be nostalgia for books that were worth reading.You could see each purchase for an old character in a new comic as a vote for that character (or version thereof) to come back.

Wow, are there ever a lot of bitter people here...

Unfortunately a LOT of comic fans are like this :(
I'm only just getting into them properly for the first time, not really sure how to respond with most of the comic fan base hating and despising nearly every modern comic in existence, but oh well.
But, I'm not a hater... Give me good characters and an interesting story, and I'll jump on board right away. But this new-52-verse is just... bleh. Mostly. I loved the Power Girl / Huntress team. And Earth-2 started out pretty good. Ah, and I LOVED Justice League Dark and Demon Knights was great until Paul Cornell left. More recently, Justice League 3000 has been a hoot.
However, the new costumes *SUCKED* all up and down the line. Jim Lee should never, ever, ever, never design costumes. Hideous.
I still love comics... just not (most) DC anymore. Seems like somewhere in the past 5 years they've forgotten comics are supposed to be *fun.* I still read Walking Dead, Masks, Green Hornet, Invincible, and enough other books to keep my brain good and full... But, DC... ugh. Most of the time when I read one of their books I feel like I need to follow-up by having a shower to wash away the stink.
And, again... it looks like the Darkseid War is going to be fun.
