If Ollie was meant to return, isn't that even worse?
Barry Allen was suppoused to come back, if I recall... Then someone at DC said "Wait, what if he stays dead?!" and everyone looked at him and said "Whoa...".
What I mean is, can you believe ANYTHING they tell you? When the whole attractive of a story arc is that it's making changes, what's the point of it if you know in a year or less they won't matter? That's what's wrong with Superhero books nowadays: they're pointless. If they can't make lasting changes they should try to make the stories enjoyable by other means... Like, good writing, but I suppouse that's asking too much.
