Re: Annoying misconceptions people have about things you're a fan of?
NO. IT. FUCKING. DOESN'T.
The DCU has only had two complete, clean-slate reboots in 25 years. Crisis on Infinite Earths and Flashpoint. There have been one or two events that changed a few minor details (Zero Hour and Infinite Crisis) but by and large the DCU was left intact from 1986 to 2011 and has remained so following the New 52 reboot. An event that brings a multitude of minor retcons is NOT A REBOOT. Infinite Crisis is NOT A REBOOT. Final Crisis is NOT A REBOOT (it didn't even really retcon anything!) Zero Hour was NOT A REBOOT (except for Legion of Superheroes, which nobody even reads.) Fucking... I dunno, Bloodlines, was NOT A REBOOT.
Just... arrrrgh.

Re: Annoying misconceptions people have about things you're a fan of?
And neither of them was all that clean-slate. Vast swaths had only small changes, or lagged behind on the changes.
If you were only reading Batman, you'd hardly notice either. (IIRC, the only significant change post-Crisis was Jason being changed from a red-headed Dick, to a black-haired dick.)
If you were only reading Legion, you'd hardly notice either for a couple years. (Right up until they started piling on retcons post CoIE, and right up until the last panel of the last issue post-Flashpoint.)
If you were only reading Green Lantern, you'd hardly notice the changes in the New 52. (I haven't read GL from around Crisis, so I don't know how significant the changes were there.)
