Oh well you didnt make it clear you where only talking about the old batman when referencing his characteristics.

Characters evolve though. Thats how they stay relevant.

but there's a limit to how much you can evolve an existing character. How much can you change before the character no longer becomes the same self he was created as centuries ago?
The reason comic writers can't change batman too much is because of conservatism opposition. They will receive backlash from diehard nostalgic fans who think they'll be ruinining the character.

At the same time, they cannot just create a brand new superhero relevant to modern times since it's well, brand new. Too hard to market, publishers wont want take the risk, no one would be interested. For the comic writer, it's also easier to re-adapt an existing character because they wont need to go through the process of idea creation and whatnot. People are unoriginal who knew

It's the old familiarity bias time and time again. Why do you think we keep having the same CoD games every year? Why does Ubisoft keep slapping Assassin's Creed titles onto their games when it's no longer anything about Assassin's Creed?
Because of branding.

Imagine if Ubisoft called "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" as "Valhalla" or "Vikings". Or if Activision titled "Call of Duty Black Ops" as "Black Ops"?

Not as many people would buy it that's for sure
