Nowadays, the prospect of Disney releasing a superhero movie inevitably means big box office thanks to them purchasing Marvel Comics in 2009, thus allowing the studio to release the various features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But there was a time when Disney and live-action superhero films actually didn't get along so well in terms of box office glory, with their first foray into this domain,
Condorman, being a big enough money-loser that it'd be an entire decade until Disney tried their hand at superhero fare again in an attempt to cash in on the massive success of 1989's
Batman. This feature was called
The Rocketeer and unfortunately for Disney, it would end up being another box office bust.
