The same was said about Bat II. No one cared about Meat at the time. And yet it was their biggest success after Bat I. There was a reason for it - the magic only Jim can make! For me it's clear that this is the only possibility to make it a big hit again. Sorry Meat, sorry Paul. You're great but sometimes that's just not enough. And that's why I still hope for an original and not a copy.
