Fantastic work!
As for "hokey comic book movies," NOBODY, I repeat, NOBODY is asking for that. Least of all me. What I want are filmmakers who understand what they're dealing with. These are colorful, larger-than-life folk heroes who exist in an equally large and wild world. Even comic book historians like Les Daniels spoke of how these characters are pure fantasy, and that needs to be acknowledged and embraced. One only has to look at how the DCAU brought these characters to life to see how, narratively and thematically, it can and should be done in live-action. (I fully acknowledge that some degree of character redesign is inevitable, but there's a difference between changes for translation's sake and changes for change's sake.) Present these characters in all their fantastical glory, but do so with sincerity, love, and conviction, and don't be afraid to have the characters laugh at themselves and have some fun with the characters when appropriate. It's what separates the class acts like Dini-Timm from the "I know better than the material" antics of guys like Burton and Nolan.
