More DC movie info

I got to thinking, since someone mentioned Swamp Thing, that there were more movies made of DC products that what were listed in BoxofficeMojo's DC Brand. So I hunted up Comic Book Adaptations and came up with this list:

The Dark Knight$533,345,358 7/18/2008
Batman$251,188,924 6/23/1989
Batman Begins$205,343,774 6/15/2005
Superman Returns$200,081,192 6/28/2006
Batman Forever$184,031,112 6/16/1995
Batman Returns$162,831,698 6/19/1992
Superman$134,218,018 12/15/1978
Superman II$108,185,706 6/19/1981
Watchmen$107,509,799 3/6/2009
Batman and Robin$107,325,195 6/20/1997
Road to Perdition104,454,7627/12/2002
Red$87,991,858 10/15/2010
Constantine$75,976,178 2/18/2005
V for Vendetta$70,511,035 3/17/2006
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen66,465,2047/11/2003
Superman III$59,950,623 6/17/1983
Catwoman$40,202,379 7/23/2004
The Shadow32,063,4357/1/1994
The Losers$23,591,432 4/23/2010
The Spirit19,806,18812/25/2008
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace$15,681,020 7/24/1987
Supergirl$14,296,438 11/21/1984
Jonah Hex$10,547,117 6/18/2010
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm$5,617,391 12/25/1993
Steel$1,710,972 8/15/1997
Return of the Swamp Thing192,8165/19/1989


I added Road to Perdition (it WAS Vertigo, wasn't it?) League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Shadow, The Spirit, & Return of the Swamp Thing. There was no data available for the original Swamp Thing in 1982 or the original 1960's Batman.

Then I adjusted them for inflation and got this list:

The Dark Knight$533,345,358
Superman$436,208,559
Batman$429,533,060
Batman Forever$255,803,246
Superman II$252,072,695
Batman Returns$245,875,864
Batman Begins$217,664,400
Superman Returns$212,086,064
Batman and Robin$142,742,509
Superman III$127,694,827
Road to Perdition$124,301,167
Watchmen$107,509,799
Red$87,991,858
Constantine$80,534,749
LoEG$77,099,637
V for Vendetta$74,741,697
The Shadow$45,850,712
Catwoman$45,428,688
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace$29,166,697
Supergirl$29,164,734
The Losers$23,591,432
The Spirit$19,806,188
Jonah Hex$10,547,117
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm$8,257,565
Steel$2,275,593
Return of the Swamp Thing$329,715

The biggest jump is Superman up to #2. Let me know if I missed any other DC properties and I'll make the needed adjustments.

Things are crazy around here, so I doubt that I will be posting prior to the New Year. You can catch me on Twitter @MatchingDragoon (like THAT is interesting) and I hope that you all have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See ya in 2011.

And for the record, "Road to Perdition" is orignally from Paradox Press, the DC imprint responsible for the lovely and informative "Big Book of.." series.
