But do younger people even want Batman? Maybe they want their own characters/mythologies? Are they out going to watch umpteen Batman-related movies because that’s what’s available?
There was a huge gap in time between the Adam West Batman and the Tim Burton Batman. We (mostly Gen X) flocked to see the first film because we grew up on the TV series (at least in re-runs in the 70s). So it was for us and some of the younger Boomers who were still kids in the 60s. Do today’s youth even claim Batman as anything of meaning to them?
I mean, why does it have to be Batman?
