Iconic Characters That Movies Can't Seem to Get Right According to Looper

"Sometimes Hollywood does a good job of adapting the source material, staying faithful to the original plot and creating a cinematic adaptation that charms critics and fans alike. Other times, audiences aren't so lucky, and instead, we get a mish-mash of storytelling where the film is at odds with the intentions of the source material. This can be most obvious when it comes to the big-screen depiction of beloved characters. These heroes and villains delighted fans in comic book panels or on the printed page, but when they made the jump to movies, they ended up getting the short stick with puzzling, unsatisfying adaptations — no matter how many times filmmakers have tried to get them right. So let's take a look at such characters that Hollywood just doesn't seem able to make work in films even after repeated attempts at nailing their characterizations." - looper.com
