Also I never really got into comic books because there's just too much to catch up on, although I've read some self-contained universes that I liked a lot (Ex Machina and Preacher come to mind, not to mention Sin City and Watchmen if you count those).

I'll copy and paste myself from another forum.

My issue was Ted Kord. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold were my favourite comic book team up, I loved them both for their adorable crapness at basically everything but that both had hearts of gold (pun not intended) deep down. They were fun and entertaining and like the Edge and Christian of DC.
Then Ted got shot in the face. Which I hated because I loved the character and Maxwell Lord turning heel kinda shat all over a number of comic series that I liked (JLI, Super Buddies). But unlike basically every comic book character ever, Ted pretty much stayed dead. His death meant something. His death triggered one of DC's events, which have become more common since but weren't so much back then. He mattered, and while I missed his character, at least his death was significant.
And then there was the new 52, he was retconned to have never f***ing existed and nothing ever f***ing mattered, basically telling me that as a fan, I was an absolute dumbass for ever caring about a character or a storyline that didn't amount to BATMAN WINS LOL.
f*** DC, man.
You're right though, having the new 52 as an alt universe would've been fine. Man the original 52 was good, wasn't it? Remember that? When DC made good comics?
Me f***ing neither.
