But people will say that just because something is old doesn’t mean it can’t still be relevent today. But we’re not talking about those comics written in the fifties and sixties, we’re talking about the here and now and this monopolized fanboy obsession with nostalgia. Are Batman Superman and Spider-man still relevent today? I don’t think so, myself. Has anyone watched an old Sooby-Doo episode from the 70′s recently? Sure, I have. But has anyone, honestly, watched any of the new ones that have been made in the past few years? Me neither.
