I mean, these all came out in the past three years. https://twitter.com/pixelatedboat/status/1294115268382269441

I mean, let’s also acknowledge that literally hundreds of hours of great family-friendly “Batman” media exist for children of all ages.

I mean, these are just the *good* ones. There are plenty of not-great ones that are also kid-friendly.

I don’t think Batman has to be dark and gritty all the time. I also don’t think he has to be light and soft all the time.

I think the core appeal of his character is his flexibility, and his capacity to be very different things in very different stories. https://www.escapistmagazine.com/v2/batmans-versatility-is-his-true-superpower/

Maybe hire storytellers and let them do what they want to do in the medium and style that works for them?

Let Nolan make his trilogy. Let Timm and Dini make their show. Let Reeves make his movie. Let Dozier make his series.

It’s not as if we’re lacking for “Batman” content.

I find this condescending attitude incredibly frustrating, somehow as bad as the “grrr! look at how mature we are! take us seriously!” nonsense you used to see.

If you don’t consider “The LEGO Batman Movie” and “Teen Titans GO!” to be movies, that ain’t a problem with Batman.
