YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
I was already on board, but now I'm super on board. Although... as a Grifter fanboy if he gets tooled by Batman there is going to be a nerdrage so powerful that it will consume the entire internet, then the world.

If they do get intergrated, Joker, Luthor, and the rest of gang will be dead in a day or so. Majestic steals Lois as well.

Dude I'm excited, that is an huge influx of heroes with different ideologies than 99.9% of DC heroes, but I am worried about Majestic becoming obsolete in a universe that also has Superman. Can't wait for a Deathstroke / Team 7 interaction or Slade vs Midnighter. /drool

You don't reboot everything though is the point. it's a slap in the face to those who currently have invested time and money into the dcu for the past 20 years.
You can still have newer books in a separate universe while having the mainstay ne universe.
I personally don't want to see a younger Superman, Batman and to forget all of the events of recent years such as sc, blackest night, etc. to appease a more generalized audience.
I know opinions vary but I absolutely cannot stand this idea and creating great stories will always attract fans not starting things over again.
according to what i've read, blackest night still happened, or is going to be included somehow...

I just don't like starting over. The new mk was a reboot so to speak but everything that had happened in the past still occurred. They thought of an interesting way to still have these events in continuity while at the same time redoing the beginning.
I also am not even a big fan of devil may cry but they are also redoing dante. I just can't stand starting over it's almost like the creative minds are saying we give up, we know it's a profitable franchise/character so let's start over and milk it for all it's worth.
I see what you are saying but I'm a sucker continuity and building not scrapping things every twenty or so years in an entirely new direction.
I know my opinion is just my own but I have a feeling this will generally appeal to more casual fans than hardcore comic fans anyways.
Well I think you should consider the idea that this move actually opens doors for creativity, giving rough character concepts but total freedom to mold the details and remake classic designs. Look at the Ultimate universe.
There's only so many directions you can take characters that have been developed over thirty years without undoing much previous work and cheapening the characters themselves.

I say do this separately while at the same time continue on with the main universe.

I just hate wiping the slate clean so to speak and starting over.

Except that it wasn't. You know that. Your denial won't change things.
Besides, it's off topic anyway.

I'll drop it since it is off topic but I am right.
Let's just leave it at I think this is a huge mistake for the dcu and we will see if I am right or wrong.

If you think it's going to fail, then it's bound to succeed. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Either Bruce is on the JLA and Justice League International, or Batman Inc still happened in this continuity and there are multiple Batmen.
