I seem to remember "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" being a pretty big deal, for instance, yet it doesn't get a mention here. What about "Dick Tracy"? "The Rocketeer"? "The Crow"? "The Shadow"? "Men in Black"? "The Mask"? "Spawn"? "Sin City"? "LXG"? "V for Vendetta"? "Hellboy"? "The Spirit"? etc. "American Splendor" might not immediately jump to mind, but in its own way is a notable comic book superhero film as well. A quick glance at the Wiki of recent comics-based films gives an idea of how many gaps have been left: http://preview.tinyurl.com/6ccax8 I love the idea behind this infographic, but I’m afraid its narrow selection and/or definition of “superhero” movies renders it rather incomplete.

Also seems to neglect a great deal of movies based on superhero comics (Superman sequels, Blade sequels, Hellboy, etc.) and makes no attempt to account for alternate revenue streams like video sales or expenses such as promotional costs.

It earned it's budget back domestically according to boxofficemojo. Wouldn't Steel have been a better choice (it earned back about 1/10th of it's budget)?
