I don't particularly understand why so many people have seen this as being an end-all be-all... And I'm very surprised by how many people continue to believe this is canon.
First off, DC follows up on the outcome of the JLA/Avengers crossover. Marvel doesn't. Hmm... what other companies have done something like this... oh... Image.
I mean... who gave Spawn his shoelace face for the rest of the damn series? Batman apparently. But does anybody think Spawn exists in Batman DC continuity? What about a crossover that both companies canonized? How about Marvel and Malibu? After all, that crossover had a lot to do with what ended up happening to the Infinity Gems. So what does that say when one company decides to keep existing ramifications and the other doesn't? Well... from sparse examples, unless both companies decide to canonize it, its just not binding canon on both companies. There's my argument. It also appears to me an indication that one writer was so starved for a good story that he had to piggyback on an intercompany crossover to come up with his next DC storyline. I'll forgive him though, because Avengers Forever is one amazing piece of work.
