If DC parted with Time Warner, would that be a good thing?

CNBC reported recently that Time Warner may be ready to embrace a plan to break up their company. This led people at ComicBloc (via Newsarama blog) to wonder if it'll lead to DC being cut adrift from Warner as well, which bought ownership of them as early as 1973.
If this happens, and it does lead to DC Comics becoming a seperate entity (though I assume, still part of AOL?), would this be good for them? My opinion: it would be good news if a conservative business source bought them out, especially if they had some common sense about how to run the business, whom to hire as editors-in-chief, and how to make to make their mainline output suitably family-friendly, and if adult, to write it all in good taste.
Only if that were done would it make any split from Time Warner, assuming such a thing does happen, worth it.
