Marvel Legacy Upon The Phantom

Some never-meant-to-be-heard words from Joss Whedon led us now to think (and dream) that his Phantom Of The Paradise could be a super hero adaptation of the story, when he talked about The Phantom as "a masked avenger" !
It is a fact that Whedon's involvment with Marvel® universe rang a bell when his name was put on the table, but his course of actions is seldom what was expected : does anybody else spend four months writing, scoring, pre-producing and directing a one-hour-musical episode of a horrific and tragic monster TV show and not only being unridiculous but turning the already memorable television event into a crucial moment of every character's path?
