It's not that Spider-Man has been rebooted so much as that all of those reboots have been within a relatively short time

Posted by: CG63 on Apr 17, 10:41 in response to vigus24's post How many times has Spiderman been rebooted? Has any other...

The *first* Spider-Man movie ever was in 2002, so we've gotten all these versions in only 14 years. By comparison, the first Batman movie (not counting the old 1966 campy one spun off from TV) was in 1989.

How many times has Spiderman been rebooted? Has any other movie been rebooted more? {nm} vigus24 Apr 17, 09:04

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. {nm} 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

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
