Agreed. I mean, I could say the reason why is the same reason why 80% of our elected officials make stupid decisions on healthcare and the like. Same "lack of logic" energy in both, imo.
I can almost see the logic from someone who wants to go as cheap a route as possible:
*Timeline already exists and money was spent on it
*Actors are more or less in place (hopefully)
*Resetting would take a lot longer, be more expensive possibly, and still no guarantee
But here's the thing that, if this is indeed what they're going for, that is the lynchpin of everything:
*We can take this and make it better.
THAT is the trap that it seems like so many of these corporate types fall into. But if he can't? He's just a cheaper version of all the suits that came before.
Honestly, I'm almost more pissed about losing so much Keaton Batman than I am anything, at this point. I was really looking forward to that.
