Why did DC reboot their comics and then retcon the reboot?

Juan Sanchez
Because they skipped the retcon, instead of watching the heroes developing again they said "nope one decade already passed" the characters were being aged to the point they would be as old as the pre new 52 versions but without on screen development.
Matthew Ward
They did the same thing after Infinite Crisis with Zero Hour
Charles Moore
>Reboot entire universe
>New universe is a clusterfuck cause they try to make all the characters have the same status with non of the backstory
I wonder

>What went wrong?
Failure to keep and adhere to a company bible. Same shit that led to all the other reboots.
Wyatt Adams
Wait really! So DC did this before? How many reboots and retcons were there?
Nicholas Jones
Technically the current DC universe is the third version that exist since 1986
Oliver Wilson
I'll say the same thing I say literally every time this thread gets made.
Zero percent of the stories that were told required a reboot to happen. With a handful of minor adjustments, literally all of the books could've been almost identical with just a relaunch.
Evan Nelson
But what about bringing the Dakotaverse, Wildstorm and Vertigo characters into the DC universe?
Aaron Moore
At least a lot of the New 52 origins became the basis for the DCEU films
