What’s the point?
Um, same point as any franchise or reboot or remake: money. It’s easy too. Story is already there in one form or another; just add a few modern tweaks. You get the nostalgia kick from the original fans, and you get a boost from the younger fans who have heard all of the hyper from the OG fans. People have short term memories, so they get to rinse and repeat every few years.

Hey, I have an idea, let’s make another Spiderman/Batman/nope not going to continue this even as a joke…

Only if you can tell me their origin for the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the film.

Maybe if a radioactive spider bit a photographer… and then he grew up to become Batman!? (Bc he likes bats, what’s to question about that?)
And then a rich billionaire son loses his parents, becomes a ninja… and buys a costume to become Spiderman?! (again, he’s rich, he can buy whatever costume he wants!)

and not a cool spider man outfit, but some weird fursuit spider suit that immediately makes everyone feel awkward to be around.
Use the tweaks as springboards to make it truly different. Make the audience empathise where they weren’t expecting, feel something different.
