I think this stinks of throw shlop against the wall and seeing what sticks. I'm sure DC's rationale is they had to keep things quiet before the announcements and that meant a lot of sneaky-type planning - but rushing together concepts like this doesn't bode well. If anything it reduces the total buy-in creators need to have when taking on a character not of their own making. Editorial edict has been the DC way for a long time now - hence their sales #. Maybe someone should learn to let go of THAT concept instead of just erasing continuity every-now-n-then just so more editors can monkey around with things to prove their usefulness.
