It's part of the wonderful reverse-logic we've grown to expect from the company that put the Justice League on Earth-One and the Justice Society on Earth-Two.

esp when u had people from the real dc universe interact with them. So that special with Saturn Girl is officially Apocryphal.
like it or not, all comics are.
there is no 'real' DCU for anyone to interact with (except by reading about them).
So such an ending is less an insult to readers than a reminder to stop taking things so damn seriously.

more than you specifically, I was intending to address the many who seem to worry too much about continuity, as if there was a real, definitive, knowable, complete narrative.

It's not unreasonable to expect an ongoing narrative that is consistent with itself in comic books. It's been done frequently and enhances the story for me and many other readers. The concept does break down for series that run for decades. That's not the problem most people here are referring to. I don't know if you read The Walking Dead or not, Kent. It's an example of a well done ongoing narrative. Sandman is another. Heck, Levitz did it on his original Legion run. It's one of the great strengths of his tenure with the team.
