Eh this makes more sense than most remakes. Right now gritty, imperfect, or even morally ambiguous superheros are in and The Crow fits the bill, it is also a franchise that has been successful enough to get (I think) four movies made. That and to be perfectly honest the movies could have been a lot better, The Crow itself wasn't terrible but it wasn't great and the sequels were awful.
