For instance, the Tim Burton Batman(the best one ever, in my opinion) doesn't delve deep into his past, we see it near the end and thats it. The movie takes place where he's already been fighting crime and it just goes on from there. The only other movie I know that doesn't do the movie as an origin is the Phantom.
Now the X-men movies aren't origin-based until they made Wolverine's origin and we all know how that went well.
Also the one odd thing about the 2 Hulk films is that they aren't coherent with continuity, the Norton one seemed closer to the show instead of the Bana one. With a rumor the new spider-man series not being an origin story seems to make the most scents. We all know how he gets his powers and costumes, why waste more time and money on scenes we don't need?
Back to the case at hand. While origin stories are always the best place to start with any potential blockbuster series, not all comics need it, especially when the character has a strong fanbase and is part of the pop culture scene. Like should the next Superman movie even need an origin basis, or if we get a Wonder Woman movie, do we need her origin told in a 2 hour movie?
This is not against origin movies, just sorta begs the question. If you know any other comic book movie thats not an origin story for the series and character. good luck with that.
