The Dark Knight has grossed more than all the spiderman movies. I agree Batman and Superman are somewhat overdone at this point where it's changed. Spiderman is still your friendly neighborhood spiderman but even that is getting out of hand with all the knockoffs. They milked Batman to death. So now it's spiderman. There hasn't been a ton done with Batman recently because it's all been done.

They'll keep milking and they'll keep milking for the next centuries and beyond. This is the familiarity bias and advantage fictional works receive by being the first mover into a new industry.

It's why the same old superheroees keep dominating the main screen and any other new subsequent superheroes created can almost never break into the same stardom. Publishers don't dare take the risk. Once they have a successful cash cow, they're gonna try keep it forever no matter what.

Deadpool is probably the only exception but the comic writers such as Rob Liefield and Fabian Nicieza had to push Marvel hard to finally be allowed to be given a title Deadpool comic series.
