I wish Hollywood folks would just avoid this guy all together, and stuck with movie business folks; and if necessary to the better comic book crowd, the real legendary contributors of the industry that had genuine talent to create worthy characters, from which those movies are based on, and not some fly-by-night, corporate imposition that more than half the heroes’ fan base hates or barely tolerate, and that most folks would just be happy to see leave.

I agree, but I really don't feel most Hollywood execs are much better. The only real difference is that Hollywood execs don't pretend to be comic fans unlike some of their actors and JoeyQ. (JoeyQ mentioned in CBR's first Cup O'Joe how much he loved Stan Lee's Soap Box as a kid; this is the same guy who previously said he never really got into comics until around the time of his college years with Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns; which is it?) If Hollywood execs were any better, we wouldn't have had to endure Miller's Spirit, Bay's Transformers, or the upcoming G.I. Joe.
