I'm not a writer, nor would I try to be. But I also agree with Dave. I would hope, that when DC, Marvel, etc, hire someone to write for their books, it's because that writer offer's something fresh and compelling. Even if they assign a writer to "re-hash" an older existing concept, it should be that writer's "spin" on it.
But as a comic fan, who's been reading about these characters for years, I have formed my own opinions and ideas on how certain characters could be written better.
Especially little used characters that I feel have some potential.
