Didio just suffocates comics as an artform by regressing it backwards to a silly kids-only era
I disagree with that because I think your other point
and aiming it squarely at the pre-existing, eroding post-30's fanbase...
...is spot on and, yet, seemingly contradicts your first point.
I agree that Didio is letting his writers resurrent a lot of silver age concepts but not in a way that makes them kid friendly, let alone "kids only." Instead he is having his writers resurrect in a way that would actively discourage a kid (or new readers in general) from ever reading most of the books (A-S Superman, Dini's Tec and Smith's Shazam being three notable possible exceptions).
Unless that's what you meant, in which case I agree with you.
