This should be on the wall in every math classroom, as a warning against getting high on data.

I was about to comment that! Have a pleasant day
With AI generation, anything is possible.
I mean it could make sense. Look at Spiderman reboots. We've had 5 so far. Two of them are running simultaneously.
I mean, with AI...
No one said they had to be movies anyone would want to watch.
There is an xkcd about this
Do you mean this one?

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
Batman Begins Forever.
I can type use stable diffusion right now to give me a new Batman every minute.
Why are they making so many Batman movies when there are other great characters? Are they stupid?
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.
Everything went to shit in 2016.
I'd love for someone to go through the steps how this person came to this conclusion. I tried, but failed. I thought I was good at math :(
I mean, they would. No one is generating multiple megabatmans a second with our current models... This has to be an on demand sort of thing. Like "show me a Batman movie, but with Donald Trump and Robin. With strong sexual tension between the two"
That would make most people gag, but I guarantee there's someone out there into exactly that
