DC and movies just don't mix now. ESPECIALLY after Batman & Robin...ugh!
The reason DC comics and movies don't mix is because they're not taking them seriously.
Burton let Batman be dark, the cartoons let Batman be dark, but the last two movies decided Batman was a f**king clown in an S&M suit, Gotham became some Techno-colored black-light bad trip were people wore the stupidest costumes, everyone acted not like
they do in the comic book but like what someone who's never read one might call "comic book acting"...
I guess what I'm saying is they let Batman become a joke, Burton wanted to avoid the old Adam West version of the character, but those who took up the franchise when he left embraced it, and if DC/WB want any of their heroes to make it on the big screen again they should go back to relying on the comic books not what a hack director and bad writer think a comic book is about.
It also greatly upsets me that M.Night Shamalan was turned down on his bid to direct Superman (he wanted to much personal control, which I doubt would have been a bad thing given he's a huge comicbook fan.)... if you've seen Unbreakable you'd know he could have a made a good movie, actually he probably would make a better Batman then Burton did if given the chance.

My roommate was telling me about Kevin Smith's experiance with the guy who's producing the Superman movie (who apparently used to be Barbara Streisand's hard dresser) and it was pretty funny. He was like "Ok, Superman can't fly. And that signiture suit? No way. And they must be a giant spider in this movie at all costs." Smith didn't get the chance to write tyhe script, but this was before Wild Wild West (which that guy also produced) and lo and behold giant mechanical spider.

Night would do a GREAT Batman. Unbreakable is actually one of my favorite movies. I LOVED the ending. I should have seen that coming.
Don't even get me started on Superman. Your right they don't care about the characters or the backgrounds....basically the legend.
ONE WORD: Smallville.
