Reboot yuckiness: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

But how old were they when they first rebooted?

Superman in 78. Nothing prior could have been considered a reboot. The TV show was not a reboot of the comic. It was an adaptation. So Superman was already hella old in 1978 when, arguably, the Chris Reeve series rebooted that franchise by starting over in a somewhat different direction.

The Batman TV show, on the other hand, was such a wild reimagining of the comic and any prior adaptations, that I'd consider that 60's show a reboot by today's standards. How old was Batman in the 1960's?

As a comic geek, I could enumerate the multiple reboots of Batman and Superman through the decades.

But I don't want to distract iSm from his appropriate Prop 8 outrage.
