Heck, they could have even killed off Batman for "real"...

And also because the Zero Hour and Infinite Crisis reboots were "soft" and also rather under-successful. Even if Zero Hour gave us Starman and the first Waid reimagining of the Legion.

Most read like an email was sent in May saying "wrap this up by August, nobody will care after June, P.S. we're taking away your artist and giving you these sub par fill-ins. Thanks." The lack of satisfactory send offs makes me feel, as a reader, that the reboot wasn't as planned-in-advance as powers that be would have us believe. That may not be the case, but it's my perception as a reader. I think more titles would have had scorched earth finales had the creators had more advanced notice.
