This is really untrue.
It's the new generation of kids and parents that are driving the merch, DVD's, etc. There will be millions of 3-10 year old boys and girls dressed in Marvel and DC costumes tomorrow for Halloween.

Please. Films rarely compare to the novels they're based on due to a variety of factors the time available to tell a particular story is generally the main reason. It's impossible to read a 400-1,000 page (or more) book in 90-120 minutes.

It's not "mind boggling". Books are books, comics are comics, films are films. They are different mediums for storytelling.
