Oh yeah, I read through Batman Eternal a while back - a really excellent Batman title, stood well on it's own outside the DCU as per most of the Bat titles.
Very well written, just an overall really satisfactory story.

The whole "New 52" thing honestly pissed me off just about as much as the post "Brand new Day" Spider-Man titles (I think they're only just regaining their footing now, after this long)
The Batman and Green Lantern stuff, which largely continued their pre-52 storylines, were in my mind just about the only stuff worth reading.
Everything else just became like generic. The characters. The storylines. All so bland.
Erasing some of my favourite teams and characters was just a kick in the balls.
Clearly the whole project didn't play out like they wanted, which is why we have what I'll refer to as the REAL DCU coming back into play.

So have you read DC rebirth through?
If so...Damn, just that Barry/Wally scene huh?...very few times has a comic made me feel that way. Pure "from my childhood/teens" stuff coming back together in such a cool way...and how they took things right to the edge like that. Amazing.
Not to mention the giant GIANT reveal at the end.
