That was interesting, thanks. So a desire to sell more toys and Happy Meals lead to the disasters known as the Schumacher Batman movies. It's ironic that this pressure lead the Batman franchise to becoming a laughingstock and going dormant for a decade.

I am reminded of how parental groups also complained about the first Ninja Turtles (1989) movie for being so dark and violent. That also lead to a far inferior follow-up film.
