    My point is that they don’t require permission anymore. Disney does not own Batman in any of his recent work. Batman can pop up anywhere and anytime and Disney does not need to OK anything, they are not involved.

    So the argument that the reason we don’t see Batman on TV and movies recently is because of Disney is false. Both because Disney is not involved and because yes, yes we have seen him on both big and small screen recently.

    There are no existing articles to support the idea that Disney owns/controls current day Batman.

    There are rumors that they do, but even those rumors confuse things like the Gotham TV series airing on Fox having anything to do with who owns the rights to Batman. For example as I stated earlier, an animated Batman show ran on Amazon, that doesn’t mean Amazon owns the rights to Batman either, just those specific streaming rights.

      They’re still hiding or obfuscating their most popular character. Even your James Gunn interview admitted they were intentionally limiting his screen time. I don’t think this is some 4D Chess Game by Gunn, I think they simply don’t have the authority, that is the evidence I’ve presented.
