I suppose i was thinking of the change of tone and actor as a soft reboot because the latter two are more akin to 60's Batman (but shitter) in my mind than the darker Burton version.
Still the sheer moneymaking capabilities of these properties will i fear now result in a constant stream of new versions.
I suppose that reflects different comic artist/era variations in a way but it can only end up diluting the power of the original prototypes.
