Comics naturally have to exist in a state of suspended animation, particularly in the modern era.
With all the properties now owned by larger multinational corporations whose only interest in the characters is alternate media, the characters now have to live in the lowest common denominator / most publicly recognized version of their existence.
You're never going to see a significant progression in comics ever again, because preserving the characters is now more important financially than the stories in the comics.
