Your subjective spin. A millionaire whose parents were killed, who devotes his life to fighting crime and works out of a batcave are concepts over 5 decades old.

As I said, old concepts with a modern twist added on. But essentially, an old concept. It was an old concept in 1989 when Tim Burton did his first Batman movie.
It was an old concept, brought back to its 1940s roots, when Neal Adams and Dennis O'Neil did their first Batman story together (DETECTIVE 395) in 1969.

Again, what part of plain english do you not understand?
