I don't know that you can everything else a remake/reboot/reimagining of Batman, just because the movie serial came first. I'm not sure that movie serials count.
Again, this is how muddy the waters are of even what counts as a remake.
Just because a film features the same fictional character, is it a remake? The Batman serials's plots were in no way remade. The villian "The Wizard" never made another appearance in Batman films
Couldn't the 1960 Batman just as easily be a sequal to the Batman serials of the 1940s? There's no major contradictions in story. Different cast and style, but so is "Batman and Robin" compared to "Batman Returns." Or are they just more Batman movies?
