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!
