Ah, but they'll lobby harder. Batman will enter the public domain in 2,635.
People said that for years before Mickey entered public domain. It didn't happen.
Yeah, they had shifted for a Trademark strategy a few years before it happened. It was pretty clear they weren't interested in making it happen again, or had finally got pushback from the folks they donated to about it, or something. And if Disney decided to drop it, I don't think WB, with less than half the cash, will decide to try it.
