Those who went to the film would be so repulsed by how bad it is that they would go read the source material in order to see how badly the filmmakers fucked up, thus finding the books far superior by comparison. This would increase the fanbase and give writers an excuse to continue the comics well into the future. And if, by [[SoBadItsGood some miracle, people liked the film]] they would read the comics ''and'' the filmmakers make a profit.

[[WMG: Frank Miller really DID make this film as a parody of himself and his style.]]
But couldn't market the film this way due to a lack of intrest or contractual obligations. As an adaptation of The Spirit it falls quite flat, but as a scathing self-parody of Miller and his imitators it's one of the most brilliantly funny things this troper has ever seen.
* I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he DID intend to make it as a parody, but couldn't get the money to finance it without claiming that it was a "serious" movie. So that's just what he did, then let the movie speak for itself.
