And yet Batman and Robin grossed over $100 million. In truth, Batman and Robin killed it in reputation only. For such a bad movie, thats quite a lot of money. Clone Wars will be financially successful and children will like it, just like a lot of little kids genuinely enjoyed the Schumaker film because they just want to see Batman doing stuff onscreen. I honestly can't see any difference between Clone War and Batman and Robin; even if you defend that Clone Wars is more obviously kid-friendly thats not apt because the marketing isn't advertising it that way, LFL is hyping it up as a teen-oriented "serious" take on the thing. Whats the difference? Warners wanted some dignity. They could do a lower budgeted Batman and Robin 2 and make a few more bucks or they could quit while they were ahead. Lucas is currently envisioning a six-season arc for Clone Wars with possible more feature-film sequels in that time.
