I don't keep up with comic sales numbers a lot tbf, but wasn't the Injustice comicbook super popular for instance? I don't know that I'd say it's only positive comics that have sold in recent years. Can you point me to some examples? (Fair enough on playing the long game though. My thinking was strictly limited to 'how can this movie be the best it can be on its own' - if we assume linking it to Superman Returns is in play, that's a different story.) Actually, Injustice numbers are very medium. It's gained a weird Youtube popularity though. It just hasn't translated to the actual sales figures at all. I think part of it is because, at this point, the story has become very maudlin and complicated (not complex, just full of bad backstory). It was actually the best selling DC title for a year online, but that was when it was exclusive to online sales. Then it dropped. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
