I don't fully know about this entirely. Yeah, Batman did do what Stallone says it did, but was that all? After all, Willis is still going strong as an action movie star. Arnie still made movies in the 90's, though maybe not quite as popular as his 80's fare. I'd have to say that Die Hard had a bigger impact on changing the action movie dynamic. Pretty much everyone tried to copy the John McLain beaten and bruised hero after that film other than the more 'indestructible' heroes that Stallone and Arnie did.
