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.
Batman and the Joker are characters created in 1939 and 1940, respectively. What part of the plain english I'm speaking do you not understand?
That would be an earlier era, yes? With some modern twists added?
