*sigh* I feel like I'm constantly repeating myself. For one thing all of the above films you're talking about are owned by the companies that are producing the films. Marvel Films, Warner Brothers, etc...
Not to mention the fact that Hulk has a long established fanbase with a best selling comic, an iconic character that the entire world knows, and the fact that the first film was NOT a failure. It didn't meet all expectations, but it still made some money.
X-Men is a huge property with a monstrous success at the box office. How does that even apply here?
While Batman films severely declined in quality as they moved forward, but the franchise was still hugely popular and a big money maker.
You're not talking about films that FAILED. These were all financial successes. The two that are questionable successes are Daredevil and Fantastic Four, and, surprise, surprise, there doesn't seem to be much rush to "reboot" those two.
G.I. Joe has struggled to maintain an identity for nearly it's entire existence. Is it campy? Is it serious military action? Do they wear fatigues or neon, or fire machine guns or lasers? Hasbro has attempted to move G.I. Joe to Hollywood for TWENTY years, and only barely was able to make it work due to the otherworldly performance of Transformers.
If you think all of these pieces will come together again magically in seven years so we can get a reboot the "right" way, you're delusional, especially if the film is this epic "failure" you seem to want to portray it as.
