DC the month before 40 new titles reek havoc for two months announces that 14 titles will end in March.
IGN posted their take on the cancellations in the following link:

Contrary to IGN's Article, DC did say that the 3 weeklies would end in March to Make way for their April to May Event which we now know to be CONVERGENCE.
THE BELOW LINKS ARE THE MARCH SOLICITS AND NEWSARAMA'S TAKE ON THEM:

The following is a recap for those who did not check out the link of what titles end in March
Titles DC previously said would end in March
| Batman Eternal |
| Earth 2: World's End |
| The New 52: Futures End |
Titles Ending In March Not Previously announced
| Aquaman and the Others |
| Arkham Manor |
| Batwoman |
| Green Lantern: New Guardians |
| Infinity Man and the Forever People |
| Injustice: Gods Among Us - Year Three |
| Klarion |
| Red Lanterns |
| Secret Origins |
| Star-Spangled War Stories Featuring G.I. Zombie |
| Swamp Thing |
| Trinity of Sin |
| World's Finest |
My take on these, like most, is that they are all canceled because of low sales and because some of the Creators are leaving. I also think that some of the CONVERGENCE TITLES MAY BE COMING TO THE LINE UP AS WELL ( see the forthcoming post for the titles and my comments.)
I also feel that all but INJUSTICE; GODS AMONG US losing Tom Taylor may have also been a factor in its cancellation.
I think the others just either lost or never found their audience.
Batwoman, in particular, kept jumping back and forth between different types of stories. Horor one minute, almost scifi the next. I think it needed to find a voice before it went off on tangents.
The Green Lantern titles lost their way when Johns left them. The emotional spectrum needed that kind of energy that Johns provided, it just didn't have it.
Well there is the info and my comments about it.
Till the next Post.
Go Forth and Do Well.
