Photography is a distinct medium with its own expectations. People looking for 2d non-photography art generally aren't looking for a perfect representation of reality, so photography does not supersede what they want to see. In fact photo-realistic drawings are viewed as a bit of a meme, especially if it's a picture of some pop-culture character like the Joker. It's worth asking at this point what exactly the adaptation will look like. I definitely agree that there will be more interest in non-2d, non virtual art. But for 2d/virtual artists? We need more than just an "underpants gnome" sequence where adaptation is considered a given. The work of those artists won't be invalidated in a philosophical sense, but the competitiveness of the space will skyrocket. The capacity to live as an artist will be much more restricted and it's already a struggle to begin with.
