The thing about saying "the New 52 is crap" is that some of it is, and some of it isn't. But face it, before the New 52, there was plenty of crap too. It's changed, and we're not likely going to see a change.

After Crisis on Infinite Earths, everything was made more modern. Then after Zero-Hour, they cleaned up some of the kinks (and created more). Then gradually, retcon after retcon, they brought back the Silver Age, especially in Superman and Justice League titles. Then came the New 52, and everything was brought back to the dork age of the nineties.

It seems that when retconning stuff, writers seem to pick a theme they grew up with as kids. So if you want the old DC Universe back, you're gonna have to wait another generation.
