This is why the upcoming Fantastic 4 movie will fail.

warner is ignorant and disrespectful to ask the guy who wrote the dark knight.
to change up his own batman lineage.
after he made batman cool again, with the dark knight.
it would be like marvel asking him to reboot daredevil.
after, he made daredevil readable, too.

that is how stupid warner is.

WB didn't ask Miller to come up with that ridiculous take on Batman, that was something Aranofsky and Miller came up with on their own and WB told them to kick rocks and picked Nolan to reboot the Batman movie franchise instead.

you're talking about 2 different markets. Comic book readers and casual movie goers. 2 different markets, 2 different market strategies. They realized the potential of the movie market but by the time they realized what they had it was too late as they sold the rights to some of their characters.

no, nigfa marvel still owned marvel when the first xmen and spidey came out.
they ruined the quality of the comics and put themselves on the slippery slope to eventually selling to Disney after.
as a matter of fact, they ruined themselves.
with poor book quality in xmen and spidey after blade saves their asses, before that as well.
they never learned from their own past mistakes, on two occsssions.
which is you don't fukk up the source material.
people like you are why we have l'trimm meets ya mama on crackrock level rappers as the mainstays in rap.
it is the same in comics and film.
degrade a quality of product till it is no longer a draw.
then, try to move on to sumfin else.
till, eventually there is nuffin else to move along to.

Some of these franchises are ridiculously huge and have been for decades. It takes a huge ego to come in and think you can do better than something that has stood the test of time. If millions, perhaps billions of comic book fans have loved something over its lifetime, perhaps that means when given the chance, that story will connect with a lot of people. Sure, Michael Bay can make a convoluted Transformers or TMNT and make a few hundred million, but IMHO, egotistical producer/directors like that are leaving hundreds of millions more on the table as well as a lot of love and perhaps immortality as a film maker.

Marvel should just say fukk it and buy the rights back. It couldn't be more than they can afford. Hell, Disney can just used that extra frozen money for that shyt.

Sony and Fox won't do that because that's mad cheddar for them long term. Fox and Sony will never be able gain them profits back if they lose those properties. As long as they got a movie another movie in production they can hold on to the rights. Plus them DVD/BR residuals is all profit for them when they constantly releasing them with the new movies.

Aronofsky and Miller, just like Trank and Kinberg, wanted to wipe the slate clean and introduce audiences to a completely new version of Batman. Aronofsky and Miller's plan was bold -- they rebooted Bruce Wayne as a homeless orphan adopted by a black mechanic named Big Al (instead of Alfred), who later fights crime in a Lincoln Town Car instead of a Batmobile. Warner wasn't impressed with that odd, ambitious vision, and quickly scrapped the project.

recipe for a bomb

you got movie companies out here tanking like its basketball or something.

if you don't want it to be like the comics than name it something else and make original characters.

this is why noah failed so hard.
The bible is considered the greatest story ever written and you got some college grad screen writer thinking he can make improvements to the story?
shyt looked like Noah of Narnia
