Again, this is something I've never understood about what they call in N scale "Foobies": trains decorated in made-up schemes just because they may sell. This seems to be particularly common when it come to 3-rail. I get it, in that these are part of the "toy train" field, but seriously? Aren't there enough "real" paint schemes (both past and present) to satisfy?
On the one hand, we see threads about how the latest diesel release doesn't have the proper intake grids (or whatever); the sound or smoke isn't "right"; or the color of the tender deck doesn't match the cab roof. We want/demand prototype detail, but then are also willing to populate our layouts with rolling stock which has no basis in reality whatsoever. I just don't get it. 
I know, this is only a hobby, and hobbies are meant to be "fun", and "to each his own", but I would rather see shrinking resources go towards making models of previously unavailable "real" trains. Think of what could have been done with the $$$ it took to develop and produce that "Batman" train: heck, that dough could have been used (maybe) to fix and re-release a "corrected" 2-6-0 Mogul: a small-ish steam locomotive that (I bet) many of us would like to have...
If we're going to now start basing product releases on current movies, I fear the end of the hobby is near. 
As "D500" posted earlier: "...how about not?"
Just my 2 cents...
