i hope this was planned all along and not Gail stepping down because of other stuff....

No, this was not planned as I understand it. Gail's twitter account made it sound like an unwanted change.

I don't know if it was planned, but I believe Simone said in an interview recently that she's going to be doing a new team book that DC hasn't announced yet. I don't think she's on the way out or anything.

I feel like you may be over thinking this a bit. I started reading comics after seeing the first Tim Burton Batman movie. I went to a comic shop and bought the Batman comic I thought had the coolest cover. I didn't worry about being confused by ongoing storylines, because I figured it would start to make sense if I kept reading.

My guess is that the people who are likely to stick with comics (rather than just picking up a couple of issues after seeing a movie) feel the same way. If come away from a comic book movie impressed enough to invest in the comics themselves, you're probably not going to be put off by having to learn a bit about a title or character's history.
