"The Great [Grant] Morrison circle jerk"
Well, yeah, continuity porn.

Read any of Steven Grant's rants about comic-book universe-building.
This isn't even the one I was looking for, but it's apropos

Hey, I'm a Wondy fan. Whenever they were trying to say (post-IC) that Wonder Woman "had her pre-Crisis history back," I was like, but that was a different character, & which history anyway? I'm used to this now.

Considering the midstreamy daftness of the post-CoIE Batman soft reboot, I think this sort of discontinuity since is unfortunately to be expected, & the red hair at least is a pretty mild thing.

I mean, Superman's had Krypton rebooted how many times now, with plot points hanging off each new contradictory version? They're just stories; discontinuity within DC is older than either of us. Morrison isn't unifying the continuity; he's telling stories within an existing sea of discontinuity, with the gimmick that his particular patchwork of references to different versions is sold as "unifying the continuity."
