But I don't think that that would have helped the main continuity version of Tim much.

And I think the continuity thing is really a big problem.

Just look at the last two iterations of young Justice.

The Bendis run seem to be somehow a follow up to the original pre crisis YJ run, and seemed to ignore all the development afterwards, with the characters acting and looking like in 2003 which had a lot of people confused if the post graduation day Teen titans run was now in continuity or not (even if the Titans od Tomorrow stories was of course from that run).

Same Problem with the Fitzmartin Mini, that run made references to stuff from the Teen titans era, and about how they characters had changed and become more mature, but again gave them a look closer to the 2003 version, and made them look younger than they had been in 2011.

I mean that a bit like you would make a new Series with Dick's generation of Titans that seemd to pick up from the Wolfman Perez Era in the mid to late 80s.

I guess the Bendis era at DC predates this mess, but this is what editorial has wanted lately.

Leah Williams, who is writing the Power Girl backup story currently appearing in Action Comics:

I did all this research for Power Girl and encountered the contradictions, got confused, and asked my editors, "Okay, so what's the truth?" And then they responded, "What do you want it to be?" So that's not intimidating. It's been wild, and it feels like it should be an illegal amount of fun. It's been great.

That might be great for the writers and editors, but for long term fans it's imo terrible.

And the big problem is that if there is no continuity, and the next writer who comes in can completely ignore everything from the current run, than nothing really matters.

Logical end result of "everything matters" approach.

Yes, that's how I feel.
Everything counts doesn't work when there's wildly contradicting stories to draw on. So we don't know what stories are being used as the backstory until they're directly referrenced, so it leaves me feeling detached.
