Should comics remain as comics???
   

I would just like to know what others think of the recent spat of comic to movie conversions that is occuring.

Most don't follow story lines, although I know a script is more limited in comparison to a comic book.

I know Hollywood is all about the cash cow...but I find them to be demeaning something I grew up with.

For example: I am torn in regards to the possible movie of The life and death of superman...the comic and even the novel were very good, can the movie do it justice??

Your thoughts?

No movie can do true justice to a well written comic. Still, comics can be made into good movies.

I concur. There's no way everything in a comic character's history can be translated to the silver screen. They have to be distilled down to their essence and even then it doesn't always translate well.
