Technically, the Marvel counterpart to Batman originally was the hero Nighthawk.Wish there was more Black Panther...... Marvel's equal to Batman.
Then they later introduced MoonKnight as another Batman-like character.

IMO, they should rock the Marvelverse. Do a proper tragedy, and end with the (permanent) death of one of our heroes.
If one should die it should be Captain America. Like he does in the civil war comics.
And, of course, he's not *actually* killed. He's unstuck in time...

The comic book Civil War didn't end that way, why should the movie?
There has been many..... Night Stalker from New Warriors was a younger version of a Batman copycat.
But to me, only the Black Panther has succeeded in being a Batman level character.
And because, as you note, Cap does die in the comics - maybe not at the end of "Civil War" but pretty shortly thereafter and as a consequence of CW.
I left that in the spoiler block for a reason...
He got shot, looked dead, and everyone presumed him dead, yes. But, in reality, the bullet he was shot with didn't kill him - it unstuck him in time in a bid by the Red Skull to take over his body and identity. Read Captain America: Reborn for the details.
I would have thought spoilers for an eight year old comic are fair game by this point.
But the movies have different commercial pressures, which can work for a better story here - since Chris Evans' contract is coming to an end, there's good reason to write him out, and either have Falcon step into the role or just retire the hero. Either way, they then get to show that death actually has meaning in their stories and that they have a universe where change is possible.
