I think you mean long before. As after live action movies were releasing, there was no stopping points for both.

Also there is a difference. Live action movies are made with creative talent in charge who studied to perfect the talents they needed to make films and TV. Were there writers in the film biz who put about as much effort into these adaptations as people do into making fanfic? Yes, Smallville being a brilliant example as both creators had no clue who Superman was or what to do to make a good adaptation. However there are more people working on adaptations who have actual talent and effort into making these works of art. With fanfiction, it is all negative as nobody is with a DC writer in their parents basement when working on fanfiction and are only going off of their own idea of what the world is. Which is always never good or creative.
