That placement comes with a pricetag...
The placement would come with the negotiation of an agreement
between Warner Bros. and Wal-Mart, two gigantic companies
who would both stand to benefit.
[snip similar stuff -- already covered or just no point responding]
Any insight on whether DC could get enough artists able to produce the product that MJL (Archie's corporate owner) has, and that Plastino,
Papp, Shaffenberger and Swan used to produce for Superman?
They have in the past. Granted they were all reprints...
Reprints alone won't work. It has to be a new story each issue with
perhaps a reprint as the second story. There's no particular incentive
for anyone otherwise, and no publicity. Your points would also be
valid in that scenario, about why Wal-Mart would want to give them
shelf space and so on.
