In Columbia's defense, at least the Spiderman movies weren't bad. Ghost Rider sucked but he's not that popular of a character anyways.

The violence in Kick Ass movies was already toned down for the public. There was already bitching from family advocacy groups about the violence and profanity that Hit Girl portrayed in the movie when the actress was only 11 years old. I'm not sure how well it would go (well, I'm sure it would not go well) if they also made a gang rape scene of Night Bitch in Kick Ass 2 as in the comic. Feminist and women's groups against domestic violence would have a field day with that one.
