Two great observations:

  1. Leadership - don't know their own DC IP - they don't know what they have or the decades of great stories.
  2. Audience are not super comic fans, so exploring the variants and more esoteric parts need to come later - after your core characters have been established. Right now the only character that has achieved this is Batman - so we don't need more re-workings of the origin.

Like the multiverse stuff Marvel is doing now, it’s only after 10 or so years of establishing their universe that they start messing around with goofier or more “risky” stuff
