So far they've been doing modernized adaptations of material that is more upbeat, such as Spiderman, X-Men, Daredevil, Batman, Superman and so forth. These movies that adapt more heoic and upbeat stories from the early 1960s and prior, are the blockbusters. With a few surface modern additions tacked on.
The darker material reaches a smaller niche audience.
Yeah. Like that last The Bat-Man movie. No one saw that shit.
