It's a fine balance. Comic characters have a rich history. There is always something good about them or they never would have lasted this long. But there would also be a lot of garbage as well, a legacy left over from multiple time periods and different authors.

The idea has always been to take what's good about the comic character, and leave out the bad, when you make a movie. The problem is that most of the time the choices made were incorrect.
There is no easy formula; what's important is that the person writing the script must both have a good knowledge of the lore, and also be objective enough to see when something needs to be cut or altered. No one wants to see a movie with Bat Shark-Repellents.
