well if it was consistent, it wouldn't be a "sliding scale." y'know? it'd just be a timeline. which would work.
But how would it work without aging the characters or constantly replacing them? BC is an example of taking the mantle from her mom and it worked, but just try that with the Trinity on a permanent basis. Remember Knightfall, etc.? As popular as Nightwing is, and as logical as him being the next Batman (or Tim Drake - you get what I'm trying to say here) would be, how many fanboys would want that? Or accept that? Look at the shitstorm that was raised when Azbats was around way back in the early '90's. It worked bc it was temporary and the fans pretty much knew that - but imagine replacing Bruce Bats with someone else on a permanent basis. I don't see that option working.
Azbats was supposed to raise a shitstorm. he was never intended to permanently replace the original.
I said that!
But my point was, it was a shitstorm when the fanboys knew it was only temporary.
Imagine what the reaction would be if it was permanent.
back to Generations, my dear. Bats. Ras. fight to the death in a Lazarus Pit. No need for a replacement. see what I'm gettin at? 
I never read Generations, but I take it that Bats goes for a dip in the pit every decade or two?

no. just once. he and ras fight to the death. the winner absorbs all the energy from the pit and becomes functionally immortal. it's a simple solution to the "aging" situation for this character.

So, Bruce basically becomes Duncan Macleod! 
But I get your point.

The reason I mentioned Cap was that (A) we were talking about WWII; and (B) Cap's whole personna is tied to that era and the idea that he's "the living LEGEND" of that war. At some point, Marvel needs to accept that, to most of their readers, WWII might as well be the Civil War or the Revolutionary War and stop writing the character as if everyone in their universe has vivid memories of Cap's exploits during that era.
Let's face it: the average person under forty probably doesn't know who Jimmy Doolittle, Audie Murphy and/or Pappy Boyington are either.
But they probably do known about Patton or Eisenhower.

I say either make the characters age in real tIme (which DC or Marvel would never do), or fuck continuity and openly ignore the problem. Don't try to rationalize what makes no sense. Every tIme a fanboy writes a letter saying "How come Spider-Man went to school in the 60's?", tell hIm "Go fuck yourself, it's just superhero comics."
