Kinda harsh words their. Now don't get me wrong on this but the fact is Spiderman did not stay true to the comics like you state, Being the Fact That Gwen Stacy was his first love not Mary Jane Watson! And the whole teenage angst thing going on in SP3 what the heck where they thinking?
As far as the Batman franchise goes Burton did not send the movies down the road to ruin! It was Warner Bros. as well as
Joel Schumacher with the Last Two Batman Forever and batman & Robin.
I mean come on they told him he could do what ever he wanted with the films. And look what happened Batsuits with nips and a cod piece from hell! As well as the whole Neo-Tokyo look not to mention the fact that Mr. Freeze as well as The Riddler did not have a sense of humor.
Superman Returns was another teenage angst drama! At least Brandon Routh has a some what close resemblance to Reeves.
See the biggest problem is WB owns movie rights to the DC universe so they have last words unlike The Marvel Universe, Marvel has the last say and they are trying to stay close to the comics as well as having to update and make it a little more believable in some aspects.
I hope they do another Superman Movie Minus Lex Luthor, Superman had more bad guys then Lex!
I didn't say that the first movie was 100% cannon, but based heavily from Ultimate Spiderman's first few issues. There are scenes in the first movie that look almost 1 for 1 like the panels in the comic. Note the "almost". A quick check of what I wrote would read something like this "use an actual comic book storyline for the basis of the movie script". The SM II & III movies certainly moved way off the reservation and it really started showing. I believe movie people really do not understand how to do comic heros.
I contend that the Burton Batman movies were successful only due to the Batman name. What comic fan wouldn't want to see one of the greatest comicbook characters on the big screen!
The site http://www.batman-on-film.com has a fair overview/history of all the Batman movies. Burton set the tone for the first four movies and his movies were not so much dark and bizzare and grotesque. His Batman isn't a noble hero, dark, angry but in the comicbooks her is still at the core a hero, but eaten up with bitterness and revenge.
Thank goodness Burton wasn't allowed to do the Red/Blue energy superman movie he wanted to do. And Burton's pick for Superman? Nicholas Cage!
