The public fascination with comic book superhero characters have

been exploited by movie production companies for years.

Hollywood has been creating feature length comic book movies,

movie serials and TV shows to continue to whet our appitites.

But as special effect technology and costume designs became

better and better, Hollywood kicked it up a notch with

feature-length high budget productions. Superman, the Movie and

the 3 sequels started in the 1970s and the '90s and beyond

brought us Batman, The Hulk, the X-Men and the now infamous

Spider-Man, to name a few.



Why all this interest in producing comic book superhero movies?

Big bucks!! The two Spider-Man movies alone have netted about

800 million dollars apiece in worldwide ticket sales. That's not

chicken feed. This kind of income could not be generated without

an avid public interest in comic book movies. So if you feel you

are alone in your voracious passion for your own comic book

collection, think again.

And now a new twist has been added. Directors, screenplay

writers, and even actors are writing for, of all things, comic

books now. Big name Hollywood writers are helping to sell more

comics. For example, Joss Whedon, perhaps best known for

creating Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has written stories for

Marvel in the series Astonishing X-Men. Back in the 90s, who

would have known that all these fan boys had been hiding in the

credibility?



If you haven't followed some of the comic news of the last

several months, Stan "the man" Lee has been fighting his

personal battle with His life long employer, Marvel Comics. Stan

is probably one of the most well known character creators in the

comic book industry. He has characters like Batman, Spider-Man

and the Hulk credited to his creative imagination.



Seems Stan had a contractual agreement with Marvel for 10% of

any revenue acquired by Marvel from comic book superhero movies

and TV projects centered on Stan characters. But apparently the

high dollar superstructure of the corporate mind doesn't want to

part with all their income. Now this is nothing new, but Stan

Lee managed to win the first round for the little guy. The judge

presiding over Stan's case agreed that Stan should receive his

share of the agreed on profits.



Now maybe Stan will get his share and maybe he won't. Sounds

like Marvel will be appealing the decision. At any rate, if

there weren't big bucks involved in the production of comic book

superhero movies, this case would not have been such an issue.



I believe the near future is going to bring many more of my

favorite comic book superheroes to the silver screen. I have

already started my own DVD collection and as more comic book

superheroes get transferred from the screen to round disc, I

will continue to increase the size of my collection. Do you

think a DVD comic book movie collection will be worth as much as

a comic book collection in the future? Probably not, but that

won't stop me from building my collection anyway.



What does the future hold for comic book superhero movies? It

almost seems that we can call the present and near future the

Golden Age of the comic book movie. I spend a lot of time

researching comic book superheros and creating new content for

my comic book site. Is there a movie in the planning stages for

your favorite comic book superhero? A frequent visit to my site

may inform you as to when you can expect the next comic book

movie. See you there.
