Agreed, but I do think a Gaiman penned, stand alone screenplay would be the only chance a Sandman movie would have of even remotely pleasing fans and not totally confusing the uninitiated. Sadly, unless it focused entirely on being a stand alone story for fans of the comics it'd probably still fail at both rather than just one of the two.

There are a lot of comics that work well as movies, but something as complex and lengthy as Sandman isn't one of them.
