I sure hope that's the case- that the heart of it is still there- because a lot of the iconic imagery is not there for me- the Lanterns, the Rings, the Central battery- all of those have been "re-imagined" to the point of near unrecognisability.


It's weird- marvel has been so sucessful by keeping as faithful as reasonable to their characters while DC opts for letting the director set the look and faithfulness to the source material- often a hit or miss way of doing things.
