I wish he said his biggest regret was not rolling out New 52 in the first place.
I’m not at all against change, but most of these characters were unrecognizable and, regardless of it initial speculative sales surge, this line as a whole was terrible. Standouts in quality include Batman, I Vampire and Aquaman, but due to excellent storytelling that was consistent with and enhanced the characters. Most of the character work in New 52 was unrecognizable and flat. It died the death it deserved, IMHO.

I know that a lot of people who read comics for decades hated the New 52 -- fine.
It's been replaced by DC Rebirth, which after a promising start has become quite disastrous.
Wonder Woman -- the Greg Rucka run was so bad that I stopped reading it. I pick and choose which story arcs to follow now.
Aquaman -- It was okay for a while but went completely off the rails when Arthur got stranded on an island and lost his memory.
Suicide Squad -- canceled, re-configured, TBD
Red Hood and the Outlaws -- awful costume re-design, Artemis and Bizarro vanished
Nightwing -- truly WTF
Batwoman -- brought back and canceled
Supergirl -- canceled, brought back, and canceled again
Birds of Prey -- brought back and canceled because the sisters who wrote it fundamentally didn't understand the characters
Green Arrow -- canceled (why???)
Catwoman -- Joelle Jones is a great artist but nowhere near as good as a writer.
Batgirl -- I still enjoy reading it, but some recent story arcs have been iffy.
Batman -- Probably my favorite Rebirth title, but I know some forum members don't like the Tom King run.
Detective Comics -- what a mess
Bendis -- Oof, I can't hear or see his name without feeling sick.
So in comparison, I prefer the New 52 and DC You era.
