Personally it doesn't work for the non-vigilante characters to die, because they are safe behind a computer screen. If none of the vigilantes die then the suspense is cut. You can't believe all the time that these vigilantes out there won't die. Felicity, however is perfectly safe. This is why i believe your rewrite would work better as a comic and not on TV. It's not an insult to your material, it's just the fact that in comics, the superhero's friends and family are killed but the heroes are invincible. e.g Killing Joke.
