My point was more that, there are costumed heroes who have no powers (like the Punisher), or ones with very low-level powers (like Daredevil), who tend to fight low-level threats (like mobsters or occult martial artists or whatever) instead of world-shaking alien invasions or robot apocalypses. And those don't necessarily work as well in film, because people go to see "superhero movies" expecting bombastic over-the-top action for the most part (even Batman tends to focus more on the more unrealistic aspects of the character).

The fact that we've had two Punisher movies somewhat contradicts that idea =p Not to mention that Punisher has been portrayed as ridiculously over the top and unrealistic. (I guess we also had a Daredevil film but....)

Yeah, but you'd still expect them to cooperate to some degree, because they ARE part of the same company, and because working together can make both sides more successful and generate more revenue for the overall company as a whole. Petty dick-swinging just loses money for everyone.

Maybe in a world without silos.

It's also potentially why DC animation has done so well over the years - for most of the time that Dini and Timm were in charge of things, there was always a strong sense of cooperation and respect with DC and the animation teams working together, which in turn tended to produce products that were much better overall.

You should probably clarify "animated series" since the animated movies are absurdly hit or miss. >_>
