Why are they making so many Batman movies when there are other great characters? Are they stupid?

I'm gonna fill you in on something: DC has no interesting characters except for Batman and his rogues. Much of the writing was copy/paste from Superman where there's an obvious power and weakness, and nothing really deviated from that in the Comic Code era. Batman has always been Gothic and meditative due to being a man with privilege in a society on decline and in the post Dark Knight Returns era, nothing reflects the apprehensions of the 1970s onward like him.
