How many of these people who "care about the characters again" bother to buy the comics starring these characters?
Personally, I bought a few Batman TPB's because the Nolan movies got me interested, but never bothered with the ongoing comics because I've heard how much of an insane soap opera they are. And the Hellboy movie got me to try a few TPBs, and now I'm head-over-heels for that entire comic universe.
Watching the DCAU Justice League show made me want to check out some comics to get more of Hawkgirl. Then I found out that Shayera from the comics was more of a satellite to Hawkman than a character in her own right, and that Timm & co more or less made up her personality from scratch. So I didn't bother.
I liked the first issue of the Dr. Fate series I read.
Anyway from what I can tell mainstream cinema's main problem is mostly financial (throwing huge amounts of money at any and all projects regardless of how well they can be reasonably expected to do).
But I don't have any horse in this race because movies are bad.

I haven't seen it but the soundtrack is pretty good so that means it must be good.
Maybe we need to find more outside writers like China Mieville who can bring a fresh perspective to the genre?
