However, that's the point. Morrison only brought some old elements (some that were not even considered canon) and altered them to tell their own story.
Good or Bad, new teams on a comic tend to avoid building on recent previous stories, because they want to tell their own story.
This can be positive if the story was very bad, but negative if the story was very good. However, the result is that it is very difficult to obtain a permanent supporting cast.
That does not mean the writers do not read the previous stories. They probably do it, but they avoid touching them (they get rid of characters quickly and quickly close open stories).

Unfortunately, DC's writing right now is going downhill. Rebirth was nice but it looks like we are back to New52.

Oh FFS, no wonder nothing gets fixed. People just like to eat events no matter what it is.
I'm willing to roll with a certain amount of indulgence IF it makes for a better story. For example, there were certain elements in Kenneth Branagh's "Frankenstein" movie that I considered better than in Mary Shelley's original book--small things, like The Monster learns to read by listening to the people in the cabin in the woods teaching their young children; it's certainly a more plausible notion than some woman from "Arabia" has found her way into a mountain cabin in the woods and the family is trying to teach her how to read English. I wouldn't say, "Oh, Ken is bad because he didn't do this or that the same way Mary did." A piece of fiction allows for certain liberties. George Perez once said, and RIGHTLY, people will go along with almost anything as long as it's done well." The point is that what is happening to this BELOVED character is being done very poorly.
I want to thank the academy awards for the Ban over considering my support for the title.
