What the f*ck? I'm disappointed in hearing this, Mark. It's a pretty narrow minded way of thinking.

"...I think it’s really simple: the characters aren’t cinematic, and I say this as a massive DC fan who much prefers their characters to Marvel’s. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are some of my favourites, but I think these characters, with the exception of Batman, they aren’t based around their secret identity; they are based around their super power. Whereas the Marvel characters tend to be based around the personality of Matt Murdock or Peter Parker or the individual X-Men, it’s all about the character.”

(Via Cinema Blend).

I kinda have to agree with what he said about how the characters are perceived. That's why the stories totally change or not depending on who you have in the book. You can make a Batman book and have Dick Grayson in the costume, you'd pretty much have the same stories. But at the same time even putting Ben Reilly (a clone of Peter Parker) in the Spider-man suit and it would be a totally different book. And what he said about their secret identities. DC characters are the ones in the suit while the secret ID is the secondary. I think, for the most part, they should work that angle for the movies. Minimize the secret ID of the characters unless they really need them for the story. Don't try to make reasons for Bruce Wayne to be shown around town when it doesn't serve anything.
