Superhero flicks – they aren’t just for kids. But we guess you knew that already, since there have been tons of comic books written especially for more mature audiences. Unfortunately, Hollywood is a big money-making machine, so it wants to attract as many viewers as possible – and an R-rated movie leaves out quite a few niches.

Well, as many of us have expected, Daredevil succeeded in showing that an R-rated superhero flick can make big money. Actually, it went even further, completely obliterating expectations and records – in just four days, it made more than five times its budget! And this is an achievement, earning more than quite a few Marvel flicks released to date (whether released by Fox or by Marvel Studios).

So, obviously, we want this to be just the beginning. We want more R-rated superhero flicks that aren’t afraid to be their own thing (as James Gunn says) and that may be outside the box. Freedom is what is needed – we know that money needs to be made, but we also know that it can be. Deadpool stuck close to the comics and here it is now: $316 million worldwide (and counting) in less than a week.

Thank goodness, there are quite a few superheroes who can duplicate the same R-rated success!
