plain and simple, to invest in a dc story, you have to literally invest more money and the casual buyer isn't going to want to do that.

The *tieing everything and the kitchen sink* together...while it has the potential to have a reader(s) pick up the 'related' titles also has an equal potential for the reader(s) to drop a whole bunch of titles together. It doesn't help that for every second (if not every) DC title that the readers read they have to google/wiki/whatever some obscure long (and in cases, rightly) forgotten event/character that has been *NEW Earth-ed* back...in many cases vastly changed from their original incarnation.
