Can we just skip "origin story" comic movies? I think the modern movie audiences are sophisticated enough to figure out the guy in the silly costume punching robots and street thugs might be the superhero mentioned in the title.
"Oh yeah Batman XXIV, who's the dude in the black cowl with bat ears? I wonder why he's a crime fighter...wait, he's Bruce Wayne... no way" <- really???
I remember the first time I read a Spider-Man comic, it took me a while to figure out Peter & Spidey were the same guy. It difn't help that the issue never showed him changing into costume, but I was six years old and in 1974 nobody really knew who Spider-Man was like they do now

Just keep chasing that dream ... best of luck with that.
