Given that no large mythic cycle has ever been free of continuity errors, I don't see the point.

They're never gonna improve on the original Crisis anyway. Not anything of that scope and reach anyway. Plus in a way people are TOO concerned about continuity. As long as a good story is told, it doesn't matter to me that much anymore. With serial fiction that spans decades, with various creators every year, your're inevitably get continuity gaffes and 'refreshing reboots' since nothing significant is ever going to change for long with the core characters. The trick is, in a way, to sorta have your own continuity to the characters. Don't like a certain story, don't have to read it of consider it cannon personally. Once I was ok with the that, it's helped my enjoyment a whole lot more. Yeah, like there's been over a hundred movies about Dracula. Some of them are good, some of them are bad. Some of them are from a series (Universal, Hammer) and some of them stand alone. I can enjoy a bunch of different movies about that character, even if they're from different canons. I try to approach comic books the same way, since Batman's been in a number of TV shows and movies that aren't all connected to one another. Just as an example.

And even the Hammer Dracula films ignore continuity, as well as most of the Hammer Frankenstein films.
