There's been a bajillion animated Batman movies. They don't count towards what people perceive as "Batman".

I'd say the difference is that the Transformers orginal movie was a nationwide release in theatres. Those were not. -- nm - Inigo Jul 8, 13:13 4
- So you would call LOTR a reboot, then? - Kim Pine Jul 8, 13:15 2
  - it nearly had enough animation to qualify -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:27
  - Nah, I conceded MDH and Reagen point from B2 in the original post. -- nm - Inigo Jul 8, 13:23
- I think we date ourselves by having any awareness of that film. I doubt that 90% of the people who saw Transformers had ever heard of it. -- nm - David Jul 8, 13:14
This. I stand by my comments on Transformers. -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 12:47
Adam West was in the first Batman movie. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 12:33 1
