      It might be correct. Given the rise of generative content, I can imagine in 2050 people will just generate new Batman movies with a click of a button all the time.

        Imagine a future where everyone is watching their own AI generated content, listening to their own AI generated music. We won’t have any collective experience with those things to share anymore. Sounds awful.

          80 years ago people would have said the same thing about listening to music or watching what’s on TV 40 years ago.

          It was unthinkable to have personal music that you could freely choose because everyone listened to radio, together, in a room.

          And before the birth of portable media devices and streaming, everyone watched what’s on the TV that day.

          We’ve already lost a lot of collective feeling that previous generations had.

          You don’t even need to prompt. In a TikTok fashion it will give you new content tailored just for you all the time. You just sit in front of the TV and it will keep generating. It will also know how engaged you are, so if you stop paying attention it will try win you back by giving you some dopamine rush.

        Nah, that’s too risky… from a bad movie perspective. Instead, a whole lot of [topic] obsessives will generate loads of variations on [topic] and come to a consensus on which prompts generate the best movies/shows.

        So when you want to watch a movie about [topic] you’ll be able to choose from a curated list of options or take the risk and come up with your own.

        If we want a market economy for such things it’d behoove us–as a society–to make sure the people who put in the work to figure out the best prompts get paid for their work.

    I mean it could make sense. Look at Spiderman reboots. We’ve had 5 so far. Two of them are running simultaneously.

    Well this is just missing some important data.

    Why is this limited to just feature-length live-action film reboots? Why not the 1943 and 1949 live action serials? Why not the animated reboots? This should include:

    • Batman (1943)
    • DCAU (Batman: The Animated Series (1992), Mask of the Phantasm (1993) )
    • Lego Batman (2017)

    And really, for completeness, let’s mention some of the other big ones:

    • Arkham Asylum (2009 video game)
    • Under the Red Hood (2010), Year One (2011), The Dark Knight Returns (2012), The Killing Joke (2016) - Direct to video release movies based on standalone comic book storylines
    • DC Animated Movie Universe (Begins with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013) ) - Direct to video released movies with a shared continuity
    • DC “Tomorrowverse” which includes The Long Halloween (2021)
    • Several TV shows, including Super Friends (1973), The Batman (2004), Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008)

    There have been more. I think it’s worse than Samuel McQueen realizes

      I’m gonna fill you in on something: DC has no interesting characters except for Batman and his rogues. Much of the writing was copy/paste from Superman where there’s an obvious power and weakness, and nothing really deviated from that in the Comic Code era. Batman has always been Gothic and meditative due to being a man with privilege in a society on decline and in the post Dark Knight Returns era, nothing reflects the apprehensions of the 1970s onward like him.

    I wonder how far off from the future this is, given that generated content is a thing now.
