I really recommend that you keep reading the New 52. It may not be exactly the characters you know from before, but for the most part, Batman is exactly the same as he was before (and Batman Vol 2 is the best book of the lot, says me).

Don't blame Grant Morrison for the New 52. He's one of the only people who knows what he's doing right now.

One thing I don't like about the New 52 is the number of writers whose previous work is mostly for Marvel. Their books feel different from the others. They feel like Marvel books. It's not fun.

That said, I highly recommend Swamp Thing Vol 5, Batman Vol 2, Batwoman Vol 1, Suicide Squad Vol 4, and Flash Vol 4. All great.
