That's interesting, what don't you like about Bane?
Ooh, I didn't even know he's been involved in other shows! Any recommendations?

Speaking of Lost, a friend and I have a running joke that Sayid is Batman. He's an emotionally tortured tech guy badass!
We consider this a feature of Lost, rather than a flaw.
Good thing I like neither Arrow nor Lost. Although I consider Arrow at least watchable - it's just not great. And the Star Trek Reboot: I quite liked the first movie but was less enthusiastic about the second. I think they're losing it. It's no longer recognizable as Star Trek.
Battlestar Galactica however is awesome - you can argue about season 3 to end, but I don't see how anyone who's the least bit interested in scfi-fi/space opera cannot like at least the two first seasons.

I disagree. Forget "using enough comic source material to keep the nerds in check." It will never be enough, and/or it will be the wrong source material.
Several good movies have been made. You're actually a good example of what I'm talking about. You seem to have a certain criteria for what you would consider "a good movie," and anything that doesn't strictly adhere to that criteria is "a bad movie." So why bother trying to put enough source material to satisfy someone like you when it won't be enough and/or the wrong material? It's a waste of money for studios. Instead, they should be putting money in to movies that will appeal to a larger audience. Adding in all the extra source material is probably going to make people not want to see a movie. Why would someone want to see a movie if they have to go read a bunch of comics just to know what is going on?
Google tells me that Green Arrow didn't show up in Smallville until season six. It took, what? Another four seasons for Green Arrow to get his own series? And really, from what I saw, it wasn't very good. In any case, Smallville went on for 10 seasons. That's a pretty good run. It shouldn't be a surprise that some of those seasons weren't all great. It happen. Over the course of 10 seasons there is bound to be new writers coming in, new ideas being thrown around, actors moving on to do other things, etc. The fact that they were able to make 10 seasons shows that they had a good product for a good amount of time. That being said, I didn't watch Smallville either. Never had the time to watch it. i saw a few episodes. Some were good. Some where not.
Why is wanting to keep the show in Smallville a problem? I think it would be odd to have the show moved to some other location and still call it Smallville.
Actually, I didn't like lost. I saw a few episodes, but never got into it. Abraham's Star Trek movies would have been good if I could have seen them. Too much lens flare made it a pain in the ass to watch. That aside, the movies were good. they were entertaining. Best of all, they weren't some stupid re-make of the same movies that have already been made.

Into Dorkness was a bit of a remake of the Wrath of Khan.

True, and it was the weaker of the Abraham movies. Still, it had enough differences that it wasn't the same thing.

I have to say, I really liked the first Star Trek reboot -- time travel handwavium aside -- and fully intent to see the second one at some point.
The other Trek movies are varying degrees of entertaining, and there are bits and pieces of the various series that I enjoyed -- the overarching plot of DS9 and the second two seasons of Entrerprise, namely -- but I find Trek series to be largely forgettable.
I know, I'm a horrible geek. I'll turn in my members-only dice set.

If it were universally clear what "a good movie" was, they'd all be good. So, there's nothing simple about it.
