   In the last few decades there have been a nonstop release of comic book movies and at least 95% of them have been flops. The movies that have done it the best are Superman (Christopher Reeves), Spiderman and X-men. Those movies were more than just comic books taken to the big screen. They featured great story lines and realized that a movie cannot stand on its own with nothing but fight scenes and a big of action. From the list below I suspect that Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four 2 will do the best money wise, in the comic book genre.
