Comics aren't that entertaining for all this crap.
Fantastic 4? Not all that fantastic.
The Hulk? Green = gay
That steaming pile with Ben Aflek? Hell, I can't even remember what superhero that was.
Even the last few Batman movies were beyond pathetic... though I never bothered to see the very latest one.
What's next, are the Wonder Twins going to get a 5 movie deal? I can't wait to see how great the ILM effects are for the Amazing Blob.

Yeah, for the last few years comic books have been the darling of the movie industry. There is usually name recognition, a decent back story and almost a pre-written script of good vs. evil conflict and resolution without much work on the writer/adapter. With these, you don't need a good script to make a lot of money, just a big special effects budget and one or two big name actors. Its much easier then taking the risk on a story where its unknown if the public will accept it.
So, I think we can expect to see more of these, until we get another 10 Batman Forever's in a row.
