I got three words for you: Green Lantern movie.

There's a reason comic book movies shouldn't adhere too closely to the source material, and that reason is that comic books are famously convoluted (and long-running, so there's literally decades of material) and most people aren't movie-goers. Add a weak script and a terrible lead actor and bam, recipe for failure. Also major errors and missed opportunities like not including the other Earth Lanterns (chief among them John Stewart.) Unfortunately if you go too far in the opposite direction you get people like David Goyer giving us a bunch of po-faced bullshit because WB confuses grimdark for realism. I like The Dark Knight as much as the next guy but it's basically Heat with Batman in it.

The Marvel movies have the right of it -- maintain the comic book sense of fun, don't change the characters too much, just snip outright the shit that isn't needed, and lure people in with a shared universe. Add to that mostly-decent, sometimes outright good writing (which has largely been missing from the comics for decades) and you have a way for a Marvel-hater like me to get invested with these characters.

DC needs to get on the ball. I'll defend their comics from Marvel fans all day every day but their movies have a long way to go.

I remember being so excited for the Green Lantern movie(because while not my fave DC superhero(s) I still like them, and I was hoping to see more of the non-human GL's, that and John Stewart at a later date), but then we got... that. I do want to see them try again though, and I actually want their movies to take off because there are some DC heroes I'd love to see on the big-screen.

(All my money for a Teen Titans movie, ALL OF IT).
