Why isn't Dick Tracy as a character really relevant in popular culture anymore?
Is Warren Beatty clinging on to the film rights part of the problem?

Easy....because of liberals
Relevant? There's little, if anything "relevant" about most movies. They just have to be entertaining.
shareDoes he have any interesting superpowers or skills other superheroes don't have? Because in the movie he doesn't have any, he's nothing special, easily lured into obvious traps many times.
sharenow that makes for a great movie character!
Whats fun about a guy with unlimited superpower who never makes a mistake?
In this sanitized environment that is our mainstream cinema market, the very thought of any studio investing in a movie that has a gritty, urban noir setting and lots gun fire has the main studies pissing their pants

shareI think one factor is that Batman, Superman, etc. can pretty easily be detached from the decade they originated in. I can't imagine Dick Tracy in a modern setting without the character either becoming a generic "badass cop" or being comically out of place.
shareI can see him - like Austin Powers - thawed out of a cryogenic sleep after some decades. But then with less childish humor and plenty of sarcasm instead... 🤔
