DC needs to kill every single one of the established villains. It's time for some new stories, you Goddamn ***-holes.
See, I love Batman, but I don't bother to read his comics. "Oh, a Batman comic. I wonder if he'll fight Joker for the fiftieth time. No? Oh, he's fighting Mr. Freeze for the fiftieth time. My mistake."

That' pretty much how it works in ALL Comics. Not just DC alone...
I wasn't criticizing DC specifically. And yes, it's a problem with most comics. But it shouldn't be a problem with street-level characters like Batman, because, well, he's street level. You don't need to worry about flashy superpowers, or colored costumes, or strange origins for the bad-guys. You can throw him against muggers, rapists, murderers, arsonists, the entire gauntlet of criminals. Thousands of stories ... except that rather then exercise their creative power, the writers just throw him against the samew dozen bad-guys again and again. It's frustrating, and frankly, it's become rather silly.
