Is Batman (1989) really just a reworking of Broadcast News (1987)

I somewhat recently rewatched both this movie and BROADCAST NEWS back to back and realized that Knox came across like someone originally wanted to cast Albert Brooks for the part or something.

Both movies have the Albert Brooks-type character being the 'loss' in a love-triangle. Both movies heavily involve the power of media. Both movies have Jack Nicholson.

BATMAN 89 is just a goon-remake of BROADCAST NEWS
