@The Fury, I don't think anything was wrong with DC before. Comics on the whole were doing poorly. Movies are more popular than ever but the books themselves were selling pretty bad. DC made the Flashpoint story (pretty similar to the House of M story but the things in Flashpoint really happened) to streamline the universe!, I guess.
I've read some of the New 52 comics where the JLA is meeting for the first time and it's not too bad. It feels like the DC version of Ultimate Marvel except this is the real DC. I guess it got too tough for them to explain why/how so much stuff happened and these characters are still fairly young so they just started over. I'm not a fan of these reboots since it feels a little cheap (like a new artist remaking old hit songs) but I'll give it a chance. Batman, JLA, Deathstroke, and Superman are all I've read so far ($3-$4 each!) but I like what I see.
