Comic book films are probably the closest to a sure thing that exists in Hollywood. They routinely amass huge box office numbers, even when the critical consensus of the film is negative. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, for example, was almost universally panned by both critics and audiences alike — but that didn’t stop it from earning over $872 million in theaters.
So it seems likely that the people who are in charge of adapting comic books for the big screen are going to be a little bit more willing to take risks on some superheroes that are slightly less known that Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and all of the old standards.
That said, there are some comic book characters that are so ridiculous, it would be pretty tough to make a case for their existence in general, let alone their transition into a film franchise. The long and illustrious history of comic books is filled with characters who have aged badly or, quite frankly, were never really a great idea in the first place.
