This should be on the wall in every math classroom, as a warning against getting high on data.
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.
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.
Nick Cage and drownings… classic freakonomics

I was about to comment that! Have a pleasant day
I was about to say the same. Have a swell hour
I too was on the verge of writing such a thing. Here’s to a splendid afternoon
Thank you, that’s much more manageable than an entire day.
I did comment that! Now it’s redundant. This comment is redundant, too. I’m redundant! We’re redundant!! Good day!!!
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.
Marvel already working like this
With AI generation, anything is possible.
Script, actors and viewers will all be AI.
Great let the AI suffer, as long as I don’t have to watch 66.666 Batman movies each second.
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
Oh no! the Batman event horizon is even closer than we thought!
There is an xkcd about this
Do you mean this one?

Batman Begins Forever.
Batman forever and ever and ever…
I can type use stable diffusion right now to give me a new Batman every minute.
More!
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.
Dicks out for the king ✊
So, roughly about as often as Marvell churns out it’s turds.
What’s the R² for this?
Well sure. AI will churn em out in microseconds by then!
