Seriously, I hate reboots. It's admitting that they haven't got a clue about their own creations. The original Crisis was intended to handle discontinuity without tossing everything out, and now everything is tossed out every few years with each new set of writers.
The VP and publishers are all not fans of the characters or have any respect for the readers. They don’t “get” the public at large so they just try to offend.
The VP at DC should be fired on the spot for letting the Avengers get this upper hand.
