I saw on Penny Arcade today that Scott had mentioned the new 52.
Short version: DC is relaunching a bunch of titles at #1, resetting everything. Great idea, I think.
My question is whether they'll learn from past mistakes (or Marvel's mistakes) and avoid one grand continuity between all the comics. For example, I think Batman of Detective Comics should be an altogether separate continuity from Batman of Batman, or Batman of Batman and Robin. I shouldn't have to read multiple books to follow the story.
So is this the case? If Harley Quinn shows up in Detective Comics, I should be able to assume it's a different Harley than in Suicide Squad, right? The Justice League exists as its own group of those characters, rather than saying JL events happen between different Batman and Superman titles... right?
I'm not even sure I'd be reading those if I subscribed to this new digital thing; Blue Beetle, Resurrection Man, and Green Arrow sound more interesting, but I want to know what I'd be paying into. Anyone have info? (Niiiiiick?)
