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.
Well that's kind of getting into subjectivity. I mean most people "count" Keaton as the first Batman in movie form but, that's completely false. Adam West was the first Batman in theatrical movie distrubution. Whoever was Batman in Batman Dracula was first in a small exhibition in a museum. So who gets credit for the first?
Does being first really matter? If Andy Warhol's Batman/Dracula hypothetically had been first, would it matter, since no one saw it? Would it make Burton's "Batman" a remake?
If something is a 'remake' doesn't it require a familiarity with the original on the part of the creator?
If there's a newly discovered film of "Green Lantern" from the 70s, does that make the new Green Lantern suddenly a 'remake?'
Well reguardless of Batman Dracula. To imply that Tim Burton & crew had no knowledge of the Adam West tv show and movie prior to production is just odd.
