It started in 2020 and yet, how many Batmans have we had in that time frame? People proclaimed that MacFarlane was only doing a few Batmans per wave to kick off the line, but here we are like 20 waves later and it's still a 5:1 ratio for Batman stuff.



It depends on what they are going for. If I'm collecting the New Teen Titans, I most definitely want a disco Nightwing since that is the costume he wore in that era.




Where did they say this though?

If WB is so worried about guns, why would they continue to make crime movies and even give Batman guns in the movies?

I'm just inferring there, but the difference to me is that movies (more specifically superhero movies) have shed the stigma of being kiddie entertainment, while toys, try as we might, are still seen as kid junk by a loooot of people, especially out of touch folks who'd rather blame society's ills on a singular boogieman than realize it's a multi-faceted problem Just my two cents though!
