Its only retelling the origins of Superman, though; nothing later. If someone wanted to jump into Superman comics then, yeah, they could easily start with Secret Origins, but what about afterward? Its also mostly stuck with having to keep in line with what's gone before, what's going on now, and what might be planned for the future.
The current DCU is almost impossible to get into without back-research and spending way too much money on past trades in getting caught up. And if someone doesn't really know how things are organized regarding storylines, it can definitely be overwhelming trying to figure out which books you should by if you just want to follow Batman or Superman or Green Lantern, etc.
I think this is an excellent idea. So long as they market it right and label it clearly enough it could very easily be a jump-on point for people who have always wanted to read the Batman or Superman comics but have been to overwhelmed to try to figure out where to start.
