I guess if you're not big into the graphic novel world that makes sense. Comics haven't just been for kids for a while (really since Miller resurected Batman with Darknight), it is a pretty fertile ground, but one that's been going largely unnoticed by the non-geek crowd until recently. When Spiderman and X-Men made all that fat cash though it sent the Hollywood guys running to the comic book store in a desperate search for more licenses to print money though. IMHO a good thing, overall I think the comic book movies have been of pretty solid quality (with a few glaring exceptions).

Oh I know! In the case of Ghost World and HOV the framing was adjusted just so to make it seem cinematic. Very well done.

Speaking of comic book stinker movies:
Punisher - The Dolph Lungren one, the newer was pretty good.

Dare Devil - DD stands for Double Disappointment

Catwoman - I think Halle used 8 lives in that one

Superman (after the first couple)
