I fully understand your point of view and the fact that you don’t have any comics ‘baggage’ but that in itself is one of the points I was trying to make. The DC comics universe is so diverse and has incredible storylines (and obviously some terrible) that pulling directly from them to adapt a screenplay could make for a ‘good movie’ regardless of having or not having any comics ‘baggage’. Marvel/Paramount/Disney was in an incredibly weak position with IM being a C list character (at best) at the time of filming the first movie, most great characters’ rights were sold off to other studios and they were extremely limited with which stories they could tell but we all know that the MCU has had incredible success financially and a huge pop culture impact. My point is that WB/DC has almost ZERO of the issues with being able to use characters and stories that proved widely popular in the comics and/or animation. They own all their top tier heroes and villains but refuse to just adapt the best stuff from other mediums to the silver screen which, in most readers’ opinions, would make for ‘good movies’.

I hope that clarifies me wanting them to ‘just do the thing because they already have the thing’.
