Filling in the timeline with Weeklies?

I think it would help the current state of DC comics--A LOT-- if we could read stories from it's past to fill the gaps. Because the thing that drew me to DC in the first place was the sense of history it had and the legacy of its heroes. So select some heroes and show some of their past for a year or so of weekly comics. Show Dick Grayson become Robin, the struggles he faces and at the end have him grow into the role. Then do another weekly series showing him becoming Nightwing while Jason Todd becomes Robin. Have the writers that do the solo titles have input or actually writing. A lot of ground could be carried if this was done.
