Yeah, from what I understand, Disney just kinda puts the pressure to change how long copyrights last every few years. They don't just find loopholes for themselves, they change the laws themselves.

Joshua Williamson confirmed Jace's digital first series takes place in main continuity, Jace becomes Batman at the end of it as confirmed by the cover and ComiXology summaries, Williamson confirmed Jace is showing up in Batman, Detective Comics, and Urban Legends, and DC confirmed months back that Jace is getting a Next Batman 12-issue limited series.
So what are you talking about?
Well, it's not every few years. The last time copyright law was extended was 1998.
Odds are Disney and other giant corporations will successfully lobby for another extension. However, there's the possibility that it won't play out the same way this time. The internet is a thing now in a way it wasn't back in 98, and people are more aware of public domain and what it's for, as well as what the benefits are for everybody. The legal argument for copyright extension has always been thin. If the topic catches the public's attention in the next couple years it's entirely possible that politicians, looking at the 2024 election cycle and wary of an electorate that's fed up with big business and government, won't allow another extension.
Odds are that if copyright isn't extended, congress will still carve out some loophole or exception for characters like Mickey Mouse, in a way that doesn't earn the public's attention or ire; some minor caveat that the layman won't pick up on or even hear about until after the fact. A lot may depend on the '22 midterms and who ends up in Washington DC, as well as how the "big business" debate goes between now and then. But the chances of these characters actually entering public domain in some functional, usable form, while slim as hell, are still higher than they've ever been. So never say never!
But even if these characters do enter the PD? Guys like Batman have grown and evolved well beyond the limited access public domain would offer. If Batman enters the PD, that doesn't mean everything Bat-related enters PD, it just means the very, earliest issues would be available for use, and those early Golden Age comics are so different from how the world thinks of "Batman" today that it might as well be a completely different, original character. Which is either a pro or a con, depending on how you look at it I guess.

She looks more golden.
She has been referred to as golden in the comics.
There is a reason why Victor and Garfield called her "Goldie" a lot.
When she was dating Franklin Crandall, he told her that he chalked up her skin to being a Mediterranean Tan
In some comic issues after she broke up with Dick, she was more like a golden brown
golden skin tone is actually a tone that exists
I am a multiracial person that has light brown skin with golden overtone
6 ft woman is not out of the ordinary height for a woman.
it's not uncommon for models which Kory has been in the comics
I created a thread about Dick Grayson/Nightwing and Koriand'r/Starfire. It is to acknowledge and honor their iconic and popular relationship.
I created a fan page about Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson. This page is for all the Spider-Marriage fans.
That retcon of Dick having sex with Babs the night before his wedding with Kory is one of the reasons why I end up strongly dislike Dick/Babs.
Dick was not shown to have any romantic feelings for Babs in the Wolfman 1980s/1990s comics before Kory broke up with him.
He also had two girlfriends before he got in a relationship with Kory.

Yeah, I don't mind Dick developing feelings for Babs after he became Nightwing (he seems the type to fall in love too easily anyway) but I got annoyed when Dixon and co acted like Dicks & Babs were always meant to be and that Kory was just a fling. Despite the fact that Kory and Dick's romance developed more organically and they had to retcon a lot of history to make Dick/Babs work.
