Suppose the Dark Age of comics, with its leather jacket redesigns, mullets, new “edgier” characters or reboots, became the standard in popular culture. Meaning, almost no one remembers Bruce Wayne as Batman, but they know Jean-Paul Valley (aka Azrael) is Batman in all his spikey armor glory. How does this effect pop culture? Would we still see a renewed interest in Superhero movies in the 2000s? Would comics still be considered for children or even more of a medium for man-children indulging in stories of sex, blood, and gore?
