Have you ever noticed that if you phone an IT technician with a computer problem, their response is always, “Have you tried to reboot it?” Well, in Hollywood, the same principle applies. If your franchise isn’t successful, you hit the reboot button and start again. Comic book movie fans, especially, have seen more than their fair share of this over the past few decades.

Now, with that out of the way, let’s jump right in. Here are the 9 comic book movie reboots that failed to live up to the hype.
