The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum: DC Heroes in Live-Action

With the release of Man of Steel nearing, I thought for today's posted topic on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I host a topic where the theme is all things live-action films and T.V. series based on DC Comics' comic book hero and/or heroine characters. Yes, it's been 70 years since the first live-action filmed piece based on a DC Comics hero/heroine came out (that's of course the 1943 serial The Batman). Over the years, we have witnessed the releases of a number of live-action productions based on characters of the DC Universe mythos (like the 1966 Batman T.V. series, the 1974 Shazam T.V. series, the 1970s Wonder Woman T.V. series, Superman: The Movie, the 1990s The Flash, Jonah Hex, Green Lantern, and recently Arrow) as well as live-action productions based on DC Comics heroes and heroines not part of the DC Universe mythos (like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, A History of Violence, The Spirit, Red, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen).

Anyway, in discuciing the theme of this forum post, you can talk about things like what DC based-live-action works are your favorites, what works you find best respect the appeal and essence of their comic book counterparts (example: do you find Watchmen was true to the comic book limites sereis it was based on?), what live-action works you find have lead actors who well looked and/or acted the DC heroe/heroine roles themselves (example: do you find Linda Carter well acted and looked the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman when she starred in the 1970s Wonder Woman T.V. series?), and what DC Comics-based live-actions would you recommend to non-comic book readers.
