Giving a couple of examples doesn't mean anything has been "proven".
Sin City
fell $100 million short of this project's production budget, and only outgrossed
V For Vendetta
by $4 million domestically.
Tim Burton's 1989 film outgrossed
Batman Begins
.
Catwoman
outgrossed
30 Days Of Night
.
X-Men: The Last Stand
outgrossed
X2: X-Men United
and
X-Men
.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
outgrossed
Hellboy
.
And if I remember correctly, Michael Bay's movie did pretty well last year. Over 30 million ticket purchases tells me that staying close to the source material really isn't all that important. Nothing has been proven. There is no magic formula.
