What's wrong with turning comics into movies? If they hadn't done that, we would have never seen Tim Burton's Batman, Richard Donner's Superman or the excellent Superman II (granted, III and IV sucked, but in my reality, they never existed in the first place), the well-done Flash TV series, the dark and action packed Blade (and from what I hear, the sequel is supposed to be a lot more horror oriented), and Bryan Singer's very competent X-Men.
If you go along Kat's line of reasoning, why make perfectly good BOOKS into movies? Then we wouldn't have to sit through "crap" like, Dr Zhivago or The Wonder Boys or any of those other "bad" movies. Why can't everyone just read and stay home?
There's been a lot of bad comic book movies, but that's no reason not to try and make good ones.
