Oh, another thing I would like DC to reprint: the Flash issues of the 1970s. An entire decade of Bronze Age storytelling where Barry Allen and Iris West were happily married and their lives were stable. I became a Flash fan at the time of Geoff Johns' second run. It was a great but brief run, consisting ofThe Flash:Rebirth, tie-ins to Blackest Night, The Dastardly Death of the Rogues, and finally Flashpoint. (I didn't care much for most of the New 52 series that followed, but I enjoyed Full Stop and I'm enjoying Joshua Williamson's current run). While I've since come to appreciate Wally West, Barry is still my favourite Flash. A major problem though, with reading Barry's Flash adventures is that they jump straight from the Silver Age to the aforementioned Johns stories. Even The Trial of the Flash is only available in black-and-white (and I haven't read it). Reprinting the Flash stories of the 70s would go a long way towards making Barry's role in the DC Universe up to Flashpoint more complete and accessible.
