In the lobby of the Lowes Harvard Square today, while waiting for Million Dollar Baby, I saw the following two posters side-by-side, much like they are below if your browser window is quite large.

Both these movies are distributed by Warner Brothers. They're both comic book adaptations. They ought to both appeal to a similar audience. What are the execs at Warner Brothers thinking? This is why Marvel-based movies are on a fairly strong run, while DC-based movies are not.

I think the run is still strong. To my recollection, since the end of your list we've had Punisher (which I thought was good, although it had moments where they thought "hey, comic books!" and got stupid, like the final monologue), Spider-Man 2 (excellent), and Blade III (haven't seen it, but admittedly haven't heard much good about it so far.) Oh, right, and now Elektra, which, well, whoops, from what I've read. Okay, maybe they stumbled a bit at the end of 2004.
