    First off, one of the main problems when transposing a comic to film or other forms of media, the writers have a nasty habit of going by 'canonized' information as opposed to what is 'authentic' facts.

    The other dilemma is the fact, some producers feel if you hype a famous comic character's name with a film, it doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.

    Case in point, Superman Returns. The producers wanted to bridge between the second and third movie, I'm assuming. But the problem was, fans already had the mindset of Superman from the animated series, where Luthor wasn't some mad scientist criminal and Superman and Lois' relationship wasn't so steamy.

    Thus when the movie went with the traditional characteristics from the original films, not to mention add some questionable elements (like Lois having Superman's illegitimate child), fans were left confused and disappointed.

    As for Catwoman, one only knows WHAT they were thinking...
