If they can get digital distribution off the ground, they'd probably be in much better shape, but yeah, they probably aren't going anywhere any time soon. But they're also incredibly unlikely to experience any real growth.
maybe i am missing something, but I don't understand why Marvel and DC don't do straight up comics on a web page. Charge whatever to get access, have different sections for the different titles, have the ads on the side-- money bath
basically DC thinks by setting most of their characters back ten years (or twenty, in Batgirl's case), they can attract new readers who will somehow hear about this and wander into comic book stores, wide-eyed and curious about this bold new direction
If non comic book readers are like me, a rare comic book reader, they basically want good stories that don't give a shit about continuity
just let the author tell whatever story they are interested in telling. Don't know if I'd ever read weekleys unless someone was doing a large self contained story that didn't have references to anything else that was going on in the DCU, there that's my opinion.

Like, if they just did this and didn't have the day-and-date digital too, I'd be upset
ok
i haven't read morrison's batman stuff, but dick becoming Batman seemed like a wonderful thing
and now i read that Dick is going back to Nightwing. Why?
if he wanted to feel the wind in his hair, he could have just went on a bike ride or something, he didn't need to regress

But that's a pretty big game changer
While I agree it's a big deal, the fact that they're charging the same price for print and digital is a strange one.
No, that's just standard procedure.
They can't undercut the print, or else businesses who distribute the printed books would have reason to stop carrying those books out of protest, and they'd lose a lot of potential print sales.

first off, you should read Morrison's Batman stuff because it is fantastic
second, DC didn't want to confuse people by having more than one Batman
which shits all over the Batman, Inc. story but them's the breaks

Not really. Having different Batmen from around the world appear in one book is one thing
Having six Batman titles and 2 are featuring Bruce Wayne and 4 are featuring Dick Grayson is confusing.
Plus, story wise, Dick never wanted to be Batman. He only did it because somebody had to and the other choice (Jason Todd) was awful. As soon as Bruce showed up he said "I am ready to go back to being Nightwing"

This was a fun issue of Batman/Superman in spite of Ale Garza drawing every female character with a 6 inch waist

gonna steal a post from GV to answer this
That I don't want them to change? I suppose but it's still kind of lame.
but it's not a big deal or negate your point
Kind of like it raining on your wedding day?
just let the author tell whatever story they are interested in telling. Don't know if I'd ever read weekleys unless someone was doing a large self contained story that didn't have references to anything else that was going on in the DCU, there that's my opinion.
yeah but the past is a known quantity
not hard to see editors pining for certainty and a time when the industry was booming rather than struggling
pretty much yeah
no, it's for the new readers that are going to buy comics on their computer/iPhone/iPad/android phone/tablet
But that's a pretty big game changer
Actually that's a misconception, rain on your wedding day isn't ironic. It's only ironic if it's ray-heee-aaaayyyyyn.
You know what's really ironic? Getting dumped by Dave Coulier.

just stare at a pile of garbage for 90 minutes

I just want to pull up like, a wiki entry on any comic book character and make them read it.
