My guess is HT may not go after the older Batman films because they may not get a sense of the collector desire for figures and such from those films. The rarity of pieces from them leaves little market information to suggests it could do well. I actually wonder what direction even the Aliens and Predator stuff would have taken if their initial pieces based on AVP hadn't succeeded so well, they made their figures figures based on a movie that was out and on people's minds. They may figure everyone's all about Nolan's Batman world, not Burton's. I think the only way we'll even have a chance at HT doing stuff from the previous Batman movies is if we see some Begins figures now that they're going beyond Batman himself with TDK. If they go back an do a Ra's and such, then we might have a chance, if not, I'd say they're probably just moving forward.
