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.
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.
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
