Of Batmen and TOO MUCH BATMEN

Hey, y'all.
Now this isn't a crack on any fans of Batman. Remember, you're not a product. So when I talk about a certain something, I don't bag on you for liking it. This is just I've had on my mind for a couple days now.
What I mean by that, is that I had a crazy dream a couple days ago that I was watching the upcoming Robert Patterson Batman movie. And boy, in that dream, it was the absolute craziest and outright horrible thing I ever saw. Kids getting gunned down in gruesome, gory faction that was celebrated, every single character just being an absolute moron, and Patterson's Batman voice was so weird it makes Bale's Batman voice seem nuanced. Now take that what you will for what that says about me. Maybe I need to seek some help. And I know the movie won't be like in my dream. Definitely no mass child slaughter, I tell ya.
But that isn't to say I haven't been worried about this movie since it was announced. What I mean by that, is just... please make Batman a detective for once in this movie, and for the love of God, DO NOT SHOW THE WAYNES' MURDER AGAIN! We're tired of that! I just don't want it to be a 'been there done that' moment. Especially since after 'Batman V. Superman,' and cuz of that movie I can't take either of those guys seriously anymore.
But it's why I'm excited for certain DC films coming within this and next year. Because I can't be the only one that's annoyed that the market is so oversaturated with Batman, it's made DC just one big punch line. Ya might as well just sell all your other characters to Marvel, since all you care of as of late is Batman. I kid of course. (half-kid anyway)
But yeah, since Nolan's 'Dark Knight' trilogy, DC took it to heart in the wrongest of ways that the brooding nature of Batman will work with everything. Hence what we got with a lot of the 'New 52' And you can just tell whenever you see the 2011 Green Lantern movie that their hearts weren't into it. They don't wanna make anything so outlandish and be embarrassed that they're doing something based off a comic book. Oh no. Let's make everything grounded in reality and super-realistic. Again, I'm being sarcastic with those statements, but you can tell no effort was put into 'Green Lantern', and they wanted to focus on Batman. And it's a shame, cuz we could've had the start ot a DC cinematic universe right there, but they blew it.
Again, I don't hate Batman at all. I do however think they should dial him back a bit. Yeah, I get it, he's relatable. But a lot of reasons why I seem to see cuz, 'he doesn't have powers'. So?! What does not having powers have to do with not being able to relate to or connect with a superhero character. Thor's a god for crying out loud (a humanlike alien with incredible power) and he displays traits and goes through problems that loads of people can relate to. That's why the MCU connects to a wide variety of demographics. With Batman and your recent movies involving Batman's rouges gallery, it just comes off that you wanna appeal to that one certain type of demographic; like the Hot Topic kinda crowd, or the ones that just wanna see the world burn via 'Joker'.
That's why I'm worried this upcoming 'Flash' movie. And since WE HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH BATMAN, we're gonna see Keaton and Affleck Batmen together. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind that at all, just don't make Flash a second banana in his own dang movie!
And just yesterday (at the time of this journal's post) I was at my local comic shop, and I came across a Justice League manga.... (sighs) and it was called, 'Batman and the Justice League' -_- (This is why I say I'm half-kidding about DC giving their other characters away and keeping Batman to themselves.)
And I know I'm not the only one that wants to FINALLY see a 'Batman Beyond' movie! Tell me in the comments.
And if there's Lego fans here, who along with me wants them to finally make the 'Batman Beyond' Batmobile?!
Like I said, dial it back on Batman a bit, fellas. But like I also said, I am excited for the Patterson Batman. Again, I wanted to get this out.
But let me know if you think there's too much Batman in the comments.
Thanks for your time. ^^

I will say this though, fuck yes I also want a Batman Beyond movie. Keaton could totally do Old Bruce Wayne and there are more than enough 20 something actors who look like Hollywood teens to do Terry.
Heck, I'll say it right now, I'm open to an elseword story where Batman was big in the 60s or 80s but now that he's like old he takes on literally an apprentice in a modern current today era.
Point is, I agree, if they can't do something new, or at least shake off the Snyder shit once and for all, they should lay off Batman for a while
