First one should not confuse what Marvel does and what DC does.
Before DC went slightly insane with the first few batman movies (watchable but very bad for fans) they pretty much ruled the comic movie adaptation market. Marvel at the time and before that could not make a working movie no matter what they did.
As for your side note regarding batman begins. I seemed to see this movie as a batman start over and apology for the first few they made. At the end you will notice they did bring back up the joker and his calling card as well. I do believe and hope they will just act like the other movies never happened. Then on my own personal side notes, Batman has plenty of villians beyond the super well known ones and most importantly he has himself which has driven the comic.
I also do not have high hopes for superman and hope to be surprised like you (batman begins). Yet I do not see Warner Brothers/DC fucking around with their flagship comic hero. Problem I see is superman is an odd superhero unlike most others. So coming up with a suitable storyline that is captivating will be very tough.
