They can make as many Batman movies for adults as they want but the best damn adaptation is still probably The Animated Series and Mask of the Phantasm, media created for kids more than anyone else. Doesn't mean it can't be entertaining and rewarding for adults too. And if you don't care about it or think it looks too silly for you, that's fine! I would love it if everything TR/AR scored was something I was dying to see but that simply isn't reality, and when they do something I'm not interested in my disinterest doesn't immediately make that project a simple cash-grab, nothing more.
Trent has like five kids, some very young - is it really that surprising that he'd be excited to work on a project he can show his whole family, especially after the kids movie they last worked on was met with critical acclaim and won them their second Oscar?
