Oh honey. I so get you. For me, DC comics stopped when I stopped reading, so I have been completely spared Infinite Crisis. I never read the new Supergirl. I am entirely content to live in the beautiful pre-Robin 121 years (although I might import Bernard, just because I liked him). I'm also good with seeing Lex Luthor: Man of Steel as canon, rather than a peripheral. But I don't think I'll ever give the company any more money.
Also, this screams marketing ploy to me, as well as the management trying to deal with their best writers jumping ship to Marvel, which allows more character development and mature relationships among their characters. I think they figure that a reboot will let them woo the talent back.
Meanwhile, I choose my OWN canon and ignore the asshats who tell me otherwise. :P
I think you would love Doctor Who, although I don't know which communities are free of the crazy. All I know is I trust the writers and reccers already on my flist and love their fic. *g*
There are some other great suggestions here. I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide to explore! ♥
