5 Signs The Superhero Movie Bubble Is About To Burst

3. Multi-Platform Media

Many other genres have been produced for multiple media forms but none have done it within the same franchise and the same fictional universe, except for superheroes. With the addition of Agents of Shield, The Flash and Daredevil studios have made a push to add TV to their media delivery methods. And guess what, they€™ve been popular. With some trouble both Marvel and DC have found success on both network and cable programming. Now that they have, it seems the diversification of the genre will continue, web series and videogames are sure to follow. This gives the genre stability and security it has never had. Instead of betting big on expensive projects consistent quality product is being put out on a regular basis. This helps regulate a surprisingly seasonal genre by giving fans something to consume when the movies aren€™t in theatres. It also gives the studios something to fall back on if a project doesn€™t work out. Any smart business with an eye for the future knows diversification is the key to long-term security and success. Individual media platforms, projects or franchises may fall, but the system with roots in almost everything lives on.
