Lately, there has been a focus on source material with some of these kinds of movies. I wouldn't mind if the writers/director/producers went and read the original stories and some of the comics to create their character and world. The bad movies tend to be the ones where the creators took too much "artistic/creative license," while the rest of us go, "WTF?!"
I say base it mainly on the source material, but have it make sense for film. (Which is always a challenge, btw.)
