I would hope, that when DC, Marvel, etc, hire someone to write for their books, it's because that writer offer's something fresh and compelling. Even if they assign a writer to "re-hash" an older existing concept, it should be that writer's "spin" on it.
The problem is that people that don't care about how good a story is actually exist. They just care about their precious status quo being preserved for eternity and nothing else. If you don't believe me check out ManoftheAtom's rants. He actually said to me "John Byrne's Superman origin should be valid FOR EVER AND EVER!"
Sorry to say, but I have read those. [no no no] Anyway I do believe in continuity and established character traits, but not the hampering of creativity. I feel writer's should learn continuity, and look for loop-holes. This way if they plan to use continuity they can find someway to put their own creative "spin" on that continuity without screwing up what someone else has already built.
