Breitbart Reports: In about ten years, Batman and Superman will enter the public domain. This is good news. When these icons are wrenched from the grasping hands of leftist multinational corporations we have a much better chance of once again seeing both in some decent content.
The Disney Grooming Syndicate lost control of “Steamboat Willie” this year and, by extension, that version of Mickey Mouse.
And now…
“A sad fact of Hollywood is that while superheroes never truly die, all copyrights do,” laments the far-left Hollywood Reporter . “The DC characters are the next major expirations looming on the horizon. Superman and Lois Lane will enter the public domain in 2034, followed by Batman in 2035, the Joker in 2036, and Wonder Woman in 2037.”
After “Steamboat Willie” and Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain, we were hit with some cheapo horror movies based on those characters. I’m fine with that. Still, let’s hope a serious artist takes advantage of this public domain windfall of Superman and Batman and creates some serious art that honors these characters and creators instead of perverting them into drag queens and post-modern smugs.
Imagine Superman and Batman being like Dracula and Robin Hood, who have been in the public domain for decades. Sure, we’ve seen a lot of crap results from that free-for-all. Still, there have also been a number of terrific productions we might not have otherwise seen if one multinational corporation enjoyed total control.

Here's a theory: They're WOKEifing these superhero icons to destroy the canon so that when they go into public domain it will be too unappealing to do anything with it. My hope is that a NOT-woke studio brings these characters to their former glory.
