There are so many great stories not being told, with characters no one will ever see, because the huge marketing machines can't let go of the geese laying eggs of fools gold. If it wasn't for the independent comic book publishers, Image, and DC's inconsistent forays into new untried territory, the comic art form in America would be dead. A real work of literature has a beginning, a middle, and yes, even an end. 70 years is enough already.
First: Let me respond to the "geese laying eggs of fools gold" 
Funny, yet poignant.
Second: Wow...a beginning, a middle, AND an END?
Hmmm...but, but, but, then there would be no sequels. No suprise returns of Jason Voorhees or Freddy Kruger. No Rocky 19. 
Exactly, and great points, Bio! Even die hard fans tire of asking themselves "How are they ever gonna bring back [insert character name of your choice] this time?"
Lets see some of them untold stories. New and exciting characters.
There will always be Bat fans (I'm one). And they could always bring Bruce back as a mentor. Ya know, kinda like Batman Beyond. Which would stay consistent with the repetitive nature of the DC universe. And appease Bruce fans. The movies will continue, and there can always be an "Untold Tales" series of Bruce as Bat Books.
But there is a huge untapped market out there for fans of good literature. And many, many great story tellers not yet given the chance to weave their yarns due to intolerance for change.
