At this point, I don't think it's reasonable to call it a "bubble." There were a few good starts and stalls a bit earlier on (ie: the Christopher Reeve Superman films), but at this point it's pretty firmly established as a genre, and has been consistently immensely profitable since at least 1989 (Burton/Keaton Batman).
There may be ebbs and flows in the profitability, that's natural for any group of films. But I think calling it a "bubble" ignores that the genre has been going like gangbusters for thirty years.
