Looks like they will never run out of material.

I am glad they are getting to the obscure like Sin City (http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/sin_city.html)
and Constantine (http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/constantine/trailer/). Both of these films I believe look promising.

Hell, even though Elektra (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/elektra/) is a shameless Jennifer Garner vehicle, it doesn't look bad.

What are some other comic book titles that should be made into movies?

Another recent comic book movie (Sort of) that may have been overlooked by some is American Splendor. If you get a chance, watch this. IT is not a superhero movie at all.

American Splendor is a comic book which chronicles the life of Harvey Pekar. A man who lives day to day with a SERIOUS case of depression. This movie, starring Paul Giamatti is EXCELLENT.

It is clear that they are just about out of original movie ideas (see "The Passion", "XXX", "Fast and The Furious"). So you could do ALOT worse than Comics. Right?

After seeing him in "Sideways" I'll have to check this one out.
