Thoughts on the DCnU So Far?

Man new readers felt overwhelmed. Like
Man new readers felt overwhelmed. Like "Why does Batman have a son?!" overwhelmed

So now that we're halfway through the DCnU's first month I've been reading some new reader reactions to the titles. It's certainly been a mixed bag and interesting to see them. One common thread I noticed was that almost all of the new readers wanted to get an Origin issue for the #1. As a longtime reader that's the total opposite of what I wanted. In fact, had that been the case I'd have likely dropped the books or at the very least hated every moment of reading the new stories. I do agree that going with a "soft reboot" was a terrible idea, but all things considered DC's really in a tough place. I mean, is there any way to truly satisfy loyal, longtime readers while being totally accessible and appealing to new buyers?
