But Batman wasn't? It seems to me that you just don't like the James 
Bond argument because it goes against what you believe is true.

As for the Batman argument that you like to use, you may not realize 
that there was a Batman movie made in the 60's that had basically the 
same cast as the TV show (Adam West, Burt Ward, etc.). Although I like 
Tim Burton's Batman films the best, he was not the first person to 
direct a Batman movie, and many people like the 60's Batman film much 
better than the recent four films. Therefore, Tim Burton was *not* the 
first person to bring Batman "to life" on the big screen, and he did 
*not* set the standard for the Batman films - he just added his 
personal touch to the ones he made. The 60's Batman film is much 
different than the recent ones, so someone could argue that Tim Burton 
"ruined" the films because his two versions were so much different than 
the original Batman film.

As for other films that have been adapted from books, take into 
consideration all of the films that have been made based on the 
Sherlock Holmes books - many actors have portrayed Sherlock Holmes in 
films and on TV, but that does not mean that any of the films or shows 
are bad. As long as an actor portrays the character in accordance with 
the book, there should be no problem. Of course, I am not saying that 
Arnold Schwartzenegger would make a good Draco Malfoy, but I do not 
think that the movie would be bad if Tom Felton decided to quit and 
someone else took over the role. (I know that you're worried about 
that, so I figured I'd say something about it. Hopefully, you won't 
blame it on the director if Tom decided to leave, like you are with 
everything else. How do you know that the actress who played the Fat 
Lady was "fired"? Perhaps she decided not to be in POA and left on her 
own accord - have you ever thought about that?)
