Us comic book fans may have had to wait until the 21st century for proper live-action movie adaptations of
The Avengers, Spider-Man, Hellboy, Wonder Woman and all kinds of other superheroes but a few comic book characters did manage to get their own theatrical American movies prior to Y2K coming around. Superman and Batman, of course, got incredibly famous movies while the likes of
The Punisher, Captain America and
Howard The Duck also got their own feature films. You know who else got one? Spawn, the Image Comics character who was reasonably popular in the 1990's but has since faded away into obscurity. This terrible movie he got in 1997 suggests that may not be a bad thing.
