I'm sure he'd prefer to think of it as refining his vision. Hell, I'm not in a position to kvetch too loud about that. I've never thrown away the entirety of a continuity and started over (with the arguable exception of Hopelessly Lost/The Iron Age, I suppose), but I'd be lying if I said I'd never entertained the notion.

Also: While snouting around at the beginnings of the Rebirth renumber series today, I noticed that a number of the New 52 series (the ones that went the distance and weren't canceled within the first couple years) ended their runs at #52. I doubt DC has the capacity to have planned the whole thing in advance (or not to brag about it if they had), but I also doubt that can possibly be a coincidence.
