I think DC is flexible in the same way. DC has had so many retcons, continuities crises, spinoffs, elseworlds, etcetera, and occupied so many different media and embodied so many tones, that doing a DC quest really only requires familiarity with broad strokes and a willingness to invent. Nothing you produce will ever be as gonzo as Batman: Odyssey or The Bride of Jungle Jimmy.
