While derivative, this Canadian/South African production, currently airing on Space, makes for exciting viewing.

Identity Crisis revealed some shocking, but entirely plausible, secrets of some top-name DC heroes, secrets which actually made sense of issues raised by past stories. The series cast shadows over DC history.
Countdown to Infinite Crisis, an expensively-produced but inexpensively-priced comic ($1.00 U.S. for 80 pages!) picks up from that story, and functions as a prologue to several comic series that will shake up the DC Universe further, a kind of Crisis on Infinite Earths for the 2000s.
