DC can't really win with that one. I'm a fan of Cyborg, but having him take J'Onn's spot as a JLA founder wasn't something I was happy about. If they didn't do that or have several comics featuring minorities or women as leads, they'd get trashed for only selling comics to white guys. Hell, they recently cancelled 3 titles featuring minorities since no one was buying them(for the record, I was) & they still got trashed for being "racist" by some.

....but because Johns and Morrison print money for them they left their books alone while everything else gets an emergency "grim & gritty" injection.
I honestly think if DC was going for a reboot, it should have been across the board. Hal should have been shown getting his ring for the first time and Batman should have been shown getting his first sidekick. Having said that, since sales were already pretty good on those books, I can understand their not wanting to rock the boat.
