A real-budget Batman movie set in the 30s-40s is an obvious choice. The technology available at that time (mainly art direction and stuntwork) existed for his kind of superheroics, so things could stay grounded. And the original incarnations of the Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, and (second) Two face would work well. As EdoBosnar said, an FF movie set in the early 60s would work great, maintaining Reed and Ben's WWII backgrounds. I'd like to see this mimic the technology available at the time (or slightly more advanced). So, in dialog scenes, Ben is a guy in a suit, but when he has to fight a big--but not too big--monster, he and the monster are both stop-motion figures (like the elephant in 20 Million Miles to Earth). Flying, flaming Johnny is obviously animated. This would obviously work best in B&W. Spider-Man would be set later in the 60s, in color, with a lot of Pop Art influences--before the Big Apple started to lose its shine and slide into the Taxi Driver era. More grounded than the Batman TV show. Wonder Woman would be great in this environment as well--either version.

Without the Circus of Crime, we would never have the Clown Hulk, who mysteriously acquires the ability to juggle. Every time i see this panel, I feel so sorry for that horse! He's terrified!

The comics are meaningless to them. But the properties are too valuable for them to sell. I can see them farming out the comics at some point. But it will be a nightmare for any company that takes the contract, as Discovery corporate will interfere with everything done. There will be ecevs with no concepts of how comics are done asking for things that aren't realistic. Is that supposed to be "execs," 'cause unless you mean East Coast Equine Veterinary Services, Google's no help on it.
Actually, I'd love to see a system where a creative team--the whole team, not just writer and penciller--pitch a 6- or 12-issue arc and deliver it. No expectation of staying on the book or the book getting pulled from them. The Editor acts like a production exec at a movie studio keeping an eye on things and keeping things running, but otherwise any major story problems are (supposedly) worked out before production starts.

Wasn't there a story that said that in one timeline, a certain blond-haired boy would be called Kamandi and in another, that boy would be called Tommy Tomorrow?Probably. All I remember is a brief scene in COIE #12 which shows Kamandi being found in his bunker by his future foster father, stating that he will grow up to be Tommy Tomorrow.
Cei-U! I summon the faulty memory!
Yeah, this is one of the few things I remember distinctly from Crisis.
On this whole topic, I tend to appreciate "no-prize" explanations that explain disconnects on their own terms rather than try to "fix" things.

The "television secret agent" was Maxwell Smart of Get Smart. He use the phrase "the old {whatever} trick" numerous times. So many 1960s secret agent men to keep straight! ....
