He's wrong.  The answer doesn't lie with DC.  It lies with Warner.

If DC wants to make a movie, they have to go through Warner.  This, in turn, means having to go through Warner's producers and other staff who often have absolutely no understanding of DC's characters or what comics are even about.  Ever hear Kevin Smith's diatribe on John Peters in "An Evening with Kevin Smith"?  Rent it sometime, or youtube it.  You'll start to see where the problem really lies.

Marvel has a huge advantage here: they can shop for studios.  They can set time limits on contracts.  They have a say on directors and casting.  And they can refuse the finished product if they don't like what they're seeing.  DC is fully at the mercy of Warner's bureaucracy. 

Carnage was a bit of fresh air at the time.  Consider what was going on with Spidey when Carnage showed up: a pair of robots were pretending to be his parents.  I remember reading those comics and thinking to myself, "sweet jeebus, does this kid have anyone else in his life he can lose?  Oh?  Is that Carnage?  Thank god, we can get back to some superheroics!"

But looking back, Carnage was more than a little derivative.  He was the villainous progeny of a character who was himself the anti-hero progeny of Spiderman.

Hitman is post Nightfall and pre-contagion/no-mans-land.  But its generic enough to fit anywhere, like a 'Legends' story.

He's only been in two issues.  I don't really see him as a tie-in.  More like an homage. 

Jonah Hex, now that's a smart choice for Warner.  I think one of their biggest mistakes when it comes to their comic properties is that they always jump for the big guns first.  And when the big guns tank?  Well, everything else does too.  Hex is just low-key enough to appeal to an audience that isn't familiar with him as a comic book character.
