The red-flag is when writers have a pre-decided, set in stone conception of a character based on nostalgic memories of reading comics as a child. He wants writers who want to find the most interesting versions of a character and most interesting stories involving the character, and work tirelessly to turn those into something that works as a movie. The red flag is nostalgia and coming in knowing exactly how you want to make the movie without doing any real due-diligence. He is not looking for people unfamiliar with the characters or comics.

And this is why you get Game of Thrones season eight and the Rings of Power. This is why a perfectly cast Henry Cavill leaves The Witcher. "We had to make it modern, put our stamp on it, make something that reflects our world, see people like us on the screen..." This attitude is how shite gets ruined.
