Reboot catches up with DC Comics... again?

DC Comics is doing it again. Rebooting. This time rebooting without any crisis. All the rebooted titles will be starting at number 1 again. Most of the time, when DC does the number 1, fans will still go for it as those number 1 isn't much of a reboot, but much like an alteration from some crisis. Now this time round it seems like fans doesn't quite take the news well. This reboot will be like changing a major part of a well established character's life that have passed by us in one of those long lost issue during our father or even grandfather's year. Usually I wouldn't even care much but any major changes, to established characters like Batman or Superman just isn't something that can be accepted easily. What would be the change? Not known yet. Maybe like, they will add in that Clark Kent was in the same school as Jimmy Olsen. Maybe we doesn't care about that but if it lead Olsen to finally discovered Clark's secret then maybe it does matters. DC wouldn't call a reboot without a major overhaul in its characters. How an overhaul will change the reader's view at their comics will be something different. New readers to these characters may not suffer from these changes. Collectors and hardcore DC readers may. Already I do not like how the All Stars title, such as All Star Batman goes. Maybe in the end it is all in a mini bubble reality or sub universe. It might all be just a bad dream from the Anti-Monitor after losing a fight with Green Lantern..... if we are lucky.
