True, it seemed like a pretty odd scheme, but I feel it actually shows the writers' interest more. They're trying to give us new tales. It's not a "screw you guys, this is Prime Earth now" tale. It's something new and different so we're not reading the same story about the Joker again.

That's likely the root of the whole disillusionment bit I mentioned; the same story can only be funny/interesting/etc. but so many times. DC trying another angle might be a recognition of that. Even if the new direction isn't as good, a willingness to break the mold counts for something.
