I also grew up watching reruns of Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels, and they made a pretty good impression on me as to what the characters should be like. I despised the 80's movie version and the attempted reboot in the early 00's. That being said, I am cautiously optimistic for the upcoming version.
If they manage to keep the Lone Ranger's moral code intact, avoid making either character a buffoon, and tell a good story without being preachy or politically correct, then I think it will be all right.
I am still tickled with my Lionel Lone Ranger set.
