Oh, ok. I had those mixed up then I think?
Anyways here's some intresting trivia about "The Punisher (2004)" found on IMDB:
(Someone mentioned the skull before and I think here's the reason why it was toned down in both films.)
When the teaser trailer was shown, there was negative reaction to the solid white skull logo which has been the character's trademark in the books. The costume designer changed it to a "worn-down" design that better suited Frank Castle's character in the film.
Scenes were constantly scaled back or cut to meet budget requirements. Effects scenes were almost always done the old-fashioned way with old tricks replacing new CGI. Jonathan Hensleigh discusses this in the commentary track of the original DVD edition.
Jonathan Hensleigh was dismayed before filming began when he learned that he wasn't going to be given sufficient budget for a top flight action movie. He felt he needed in the region of $64 million but was only given $15 million instead, and only 52 days to shoot the picture. Hensleigh had to rewrite a lot of his original script to accommodate this reduction in budget and shooting schedule.
I remember there being some talk about the filming locations also, just cant find the info. Daylight was short and was there a raining season and some things like that?
In Hollywood the budget equals to a lot of things.
I mean even TDK isn't all that complicated, but it cost a _____load of money to make: $185,000,000 (estimated).

Anyways this:
is how I will always imagine The Punisher. This story arc had the most significant impact on me growing up. Punisher WarZone #1-6 (1992).
Story is guite similar to the 2004 movie, only better...
