I don't see why it matters. Read the individual stories, or story arches, and see them as different facets of myth or fairy tales.
From my childhood, in advance of one of the Superman reboots in the 80's, I remember a particular issue where they'd rounded up several artists to each do their take on the "end" of the previous continuity, or the a version of the origin story. It didn't matter that they did not fit into a single coherent canon.
If anything causes it to be a trainwreck, it is that they try to maintain the idea that there's any kind of coherence.
I like that there's different takes on the characters.
