A Christmas carol {nm} islander Apr 17, 09:08

The first one that came to my mind was It's a Wonderful Life although I was thinking how many TV shows have done versions of the story {nm} mrbeankc Apr 17, 15:43

Spider-Man has been rebooted 3 times. Batman 3 times, 4 if you count the old show which got a movie. {nm} ~JPV~ Apr 17, 09:11

Punisher 3 times; Fantastic Four 3 times; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 times; Planet Of The Apes 3 times {nm} RazorHawk Apr 17, 09:18

Jack Ryan 3 times {nm} RazorHawk Apr 17, 09:21

The Jungle Book is at 2 times with #3 coming next year {nm} RazorHawk Apr 17, 09:28

really not sure how #3 is going to fare now that #2 has made such a splash {nm} CG63 Apr 17, 10:42

I probably won't be shorting it... just in case. {nm} pennystocks2 Apr 17, 18:37

Tom Clancy character? They're all stand alone books. {nm} ndmaster Apr 17, 10:41

yup...except he's been promoted to the big time by the CIA 3 times...how many times do we need to hear him say I'm just an analyst!" =P {nm} tealfan Apr 17, 11:47

Yeah, totally not what the original post was about. {nm} ndmaster Apr 17, 18:51

Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, Craig. second gary Apr 17, 09:14

How many of those went back to an origin story? shadowking Apr 17, 09:50

Spy hunts bad guys, beats bad guys, gets girl? Most of 'em probably. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Apr 17, 09:52

An interesting question, I think, if a re-boot entails teling an origins story. I think one of the Bond premises is his originlessness. second gary Apr 17, 10:41

Also: they are based on books {nm} SequelsFund Apr 17, 11:53

It's not that Spider-Man has been rebooted so much as that all of those reboots have been within a relatively short time CG63 Apr 17, 10:41

I'm pretty sure the Christmas Carol is the most rebooted although lots of Sherlock Holmes too. {nm} Neilthor Apr 17, 12:35

Godzilla? {nm} ceregon Apr 17, 13:32

King Kong? (nm) bface Apr 17, 15:16

Sony doesnt want to lose the license, so they will keep churning them out. {nm} tenchi7 Apr 17, 18:12
