In an era where Hollywood has become
risk-adverse in its search for the next sure-bet blockbuster, adapting
pre-existing material has always had a place in its heart. And when
it comes to making money on established characters found in comic books,
there's no denying the past box-office success of the likes of Batman,
Superman, X-Men and its ilk - and indeed none more impressive than The
Dark Knight.
