The eleventy billion people who saw Spider-Man opening weekend would tend to disagree with that statement, DeadCujo.
And Daredevil has been quite popular at various times, not the least of which the period just a few years ago when he was being written by Kevin Smith.
I really liked Spider-Man.

Oh I know that, but personally I think the movie was a bad representation of the comic. I watched it knowing I wouldn't like it. And I was right, I didn't.

Why did you bother to watch it if you knew that you wouldn't like it? And also if you go into something knowing you won't like it then you won't in most case. And I thought they did a very good representation of Spider-man in the movie.

I can never be sure if Mr. Magnus actually wants to join his descendants to mine or if it's all some intensely elaborate and amusing jape, visible only to the mind of God, or Canadians.

It's no jape, sir! Then, perhaps I am mistaken, as you seem to be oblivious as to what spurned my call to invitro!

I watched it for the sake of curing my boredom. I thought there would be some inconsistencies I could point out and there were a lot. I'm a nitpicker and a big comic book fan, I couldn't just not watch it. A big Star Trek fan wouldn't not watch a new Star Trek film. Nor would a Star Wars fanatic not watch the new movies. As much as a lot of people disliked TPM even after hearing bad things, I'm sure they still went out and watched it. I could tell by the cheesy lines in the trailers that Spider-Man would be lame. I honestly don't know how Toby McGuire can be taken seriously. I laughed so hard when his "I'm Spider-Man" line came up. It was just rediculous.

Uh, it's Spider-Man, right? It's not Citizen Kane or The Godfather, it doesn't need non-cheesy dialogue.
It's based on a cartoony cartoon comicy comic book, and it's a movie comic book. It was a pretty damn good adaptation, and millions of people agree.

Perhaps I'm just overly stubborn, but the movie was plain stupid.

Missed the boat on Batman Forever by about, oh, seven years, bub.
I believe you mean "Batman Beyond," and I think saying "it will be" is going a little too far. It's been kicked around in development hell along with Superman Lives and all that jazz.
Iron Man is in a similar predicament, as is Ghost Rider and a Punisher movie. Catwoman seems to be more likely to go behind the cameras than most of them.
The only other comic book-based film that I can think of that is actually well into preproduction and that I'm actually looking forward to seeing is The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Which, if done well, could r0xx0rz.

Selina Kyle - Director?
From the janitorial sources that I know, a Batman Beyond movie in the works is about as likely as I am a 30 foot tall man, with enormous feet. As I am not, the movie is likely as not as well.
