It wouldn't work.

Not all comics can make the transition like that. Some can, some can't. And some only need minor tweaks.

Like let's look at some examples.
Hulk - the norton film did well enough with homages, including 80s hulk, and the purple pants.

Spider-Man - How does a teen make something that even adult geniuses can't? (Webfluid and shooters)

X-Men - Spandex suits just look weird in the modern day.

The list can go on and on for won't work.

What can work though?

Stories with minimal costumes, commentaries on society woven within them and more.
Sin City, Watchmen (with only 1 real change so it does count for accurate), Green Hornet, X-23's minis (the team series not so much for costume reasons, but with x-force that can be written as to hide their identities anyway). Among many more. It's a give and take process, that you really have to look at what makes the original great, and if that can be conveyed on screen as is, or needs help to convey it.

*Edit* There are exceptions to this. Deadpool for example, needs his costume, and 4th wall breaking, just as Kick-ass should have been accurate too, instead of reworking it for mainstream audiences. Deadpool specificly is unique, because his setup in Fox, and in comics can still be unified for success. That's always been my main gripe, changing what makes the title great to begin with. Some things don't need much altering, so why does hollywood think it needs to go overboard? Stuff like Thor and Cap so far though, the changes work in their favor. Same to the changes in Iron Man. Things like spidey and X-men need the overhauls moderately so, so long as they don't change the essence. So it's a balance. In some instances, they haven't really strayed far at all inspite of fan whining to the contrary, and can be unified for best results of both, all it takes is a good script writer to do it, not one that excludes anything they feel is stupid without reason. One who balances the pros and cons to the choices, and how to intermingle in the best of both worlds to maintain movie-canon and still make fans happy. In Deadpool's case, they can still use the Fox origin, while adding the aspects from marvel that made him great, in rather deadpool literary style even. While they may have boffed up XMOW with him, I seriously think that was to avoid letting him steal the show from the title character. An origins like flick of his still has room to use what XMOW did, and even fix it, as well as make it longer. His origin itself doesn't vary that much from what they did on screen, his movie just needs to comedicly have his body reject aspects. So Cykes power doesn't work, teleporting comes and goes, and his sword arms dislodge for him to make new admantium swords, cause really, where would he get admantium blades from anyway?

I mentioned X-23 specificly for the reason that her first two self titled minis really have no costumes cept for Cap, Daredevil, and Kimura. This rare instance, the comics can be used panel by panel for story boards, as the story itself is already well woven for a film, including a 'purpose' to the story, among other script techniques. Which really shouldn't be a surprise since it was written by two of tv's best animation writers.
