DC: The New Frontier would also make a great movie. Hell, tonnes of comics would make great movies if they were directly translated over.
I don't think Hollywood respects the audience or the source material enough to do that.

I dunno. With X-Men, LOTR, Spider-Man, Batman Begins, Harry Potter and Narnia, we're finding Hollywood really is starting to respect both the audience AND the source. Note all of those films did not hang their hat on A-list star power either. Rather, solid casting (Kirsten Dunst notwithstanding) and an ensemble atmosphere. The result is that we are indeed starting to get respect in return for our hard earned cash.

I keep hoping this movie will be good. Positive buzz is starting to come out. I have my concerns about the casting, but they, too fit the paradigm above. So we shall see. I hope all my fears get absolved as they did with Spider-Man.
