I am sure the studios wanted to retire batman and this was their way of doing it. From a HUGE batman fan, please no more batman for 10 to 20 year, thanks.
Ditto goes for 007, coming from a HUGE 007 fan, after 007 stopped being Bond in order to become tumblr-Bond, I am ready for the franchise to go away for 20 years so the next Bond can look like he's supposed to, or else the next bond will have to be a bi-racial, two-soul pansexual otherkin.
