the man behind Buffy, who replied that the move was "a sad, sad
reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved
stories from their youths—just because they can't think of an original idea
of their own, like I did with my *Avengers* idea that I made up myself."

Whedon continued:

"I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know,
AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also
well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it
was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing
audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I
can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie.
Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for *The Dark
Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In
Toronto*, rebooting into a theater near you."
