Is X-men the longest running comic film franchise in history?

When you actually stop to realize that the first X-men film came out way back in the ancient year of 2000, and that we're up to the seventh X-men film without a reboot....that's pretty shocking.

It was the first X-men film that even started the comic book movie revival and what spearheaded all the following Marvel films and kicked DC back into highgear.

Its hard to believe that the X-men film franchise has been running for 14 years and is going to have 7 films without any type of reboot. In this same time period we've seen Spiderman rebooted, Superman have a psuedo-sequel and then rebooted, and even the Batman will be rebooted. Yet X-men is still going. I wonder how much longer too.
