In theory, it’s far easier to sell Batman Begins than Inception, since pretty much everyone knows who Batman is, whereas building interest in an original project takes laying a whole lot of conceptual groundwork.

Now, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will get his own adult-oriented romp with Spider-Man XXX.
All these recent super hero porn spoofs sprung into existence after Batman XXX: A Porn Parody, inspired by the campy 1960’s television series starring Adam West, became the most popular adult film of 2010.
Vivid Video promptly began Vivid Superhero, a porn imprint devoted exclusively to producing prurient movies based on popular superheroes. In the next year, they’ll churn out interpretations of Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor, and even The Incredible Hulk. And while you’ll never see a major cinematic crossover between characters from DC and Marvel comics, Vivid Superhero is following Spider-Man XXX with a Spider-Man/Superman team-up.
The porno version of the Spidey-suit looks better than the one from Julie Taymor’s Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. It also looks an awful lot like the costume sported by Tobey Maguire in the trilogy directed by Sam Raimi. Do you think Vivid Superhero might reboot their XXX wall crawler a few films down the line, as Sony has done with the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man, starring Andrew Garfield as a younger Peter Parker?
