Unfortunately, that analog doesn't work. Mt. Rushmore is all about HISTORY, and DC began abandoning its links to its history long ago. First by confusing history with obsessive "continuity" -- which eventually led to a "need" to tear down what was deemed "confusing to new readers" -- and then, spinning out from that destruction, becoming obsessed with reboots and flavor-of-the-month "creators."

If DC had a Rushmore, it would have long since been worn down to a nub by constant recarving.

This is not new. When I was starting up on Superman I expressed concern that the editors were filling WHO'S WHO with characters that had no place being there. Remember the Kill%ore?

DC has long had a habit of thinking what they are doing RIGHT THIS SECOND is the only thing that matters, even in this modern environment, where what they are doing now will likely have been expunged by another reboot within a year!
