Comic books that r even considered to become a movie have to become big budget films. I don't think they spent a few bucks making Punisher and Hellboy, X-men, Spiderman. Nowdays the comic world is very popular, Hollywood is buying anything that can make them money at the box office. The movie world as it is is getting thin with new and original ideas, so they have to turn somewhere. We had many remakes in the last few years, that alone should tell u how thin their ideas r. I'm not saying that sokme movies don't deserve to me remade, but sometimes they remake something that they didn't have to. Bla bla bla, well I'm just saying that yes comic books have influenced movies, and it's gonan be more obvious in the next few years.
