Best Superhero casting

[thunderbolt]

Ok, who are your top TV or movie Superhero actors??

10 Jack Nicholson as the Joker
9 Patrick Stewart As Charlie X
8 Frank Gorshin's Riddler
7 Kevin Spacey's Luthor
6 Tobey Maguire as Spidey
5 Linda Carter WW
4 Hugh Jackman's Wolvie, despite his unshortness
3 George Reeves Superman
2 Ron Perlman Hellboy
1 Julie Newmar's Catwoman!!!!!!!

I think Christopher Reeve as Superman and Christain Bale as Batman are dead on.

I don't think anyone else could have been Charles Xavier but Patrick Stewart. Kelsey Grammar was certainly perfect for the voice and mannerisms of The Beast, however, I think it would have been more effective to get a Stuntman/CGI combination to get the physicality of the character better.

You can't get a better thing than Michael Chikless as the ever lovin' blue eyed Thing.

I can't think of anyone better than Toby Maguire as Peter Parker after doing such a great job on 3 movies.

I'm pretty sure The Riddler wasn't really an A-List Batman villian until Frank Gorshin more or less inhabited and defined the character.

I think Bruce Lee as Kato on the Green Hornet TV show is another performer who brought something to the part that well surpassed his pulp/radio/comic book counterpart.

1. Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, She pulled it off even when it got a little too silly.

2. Christain Routh as Superman, Yeah I know alot of people didn't care for the movie or him but I thought he was perfect for the role.

3. Eartha Kat(I may have spelled her name wrong) as Catwoman, Although I loved Newmar as Catwoman too.

4. Yvonne Craig as Batgirl, I think she was perfect in the costume!

5. Patrick Stewart as Professor X!

6. The guy who played Magneto in the X-Men movies.

Have to agree with T-bolt on Spacy's Luthor.
Chris is the best Superman.
Only one choice on Batman - Bale

Oldman as Gordon

I agree on everything you said except about the BEAST being better as a combo of stuntman and CGI, Grammer was just fine they way he was, but other than that, you are right on the money as far as I'm concerned.

I would like to add Hugh Jackman, the guy was born to be Wolverine (albeit a taller and younger one), I'm so glad Dougray Scott got injured and couldn't play him, so the part went to the Singer's second choice, Hugh Jackman.

Oldman as Gordon

Agreed on all counts.

About the Fantastic Four, like Samurai said, Michael Chiklis nails Ben Grimm to the teeth. The other member who also nails it IMO is Chris Evans as Johnny Storm he's dead on, especially with his humor. The other two I'm not too happy about, Ioan Gruffud is too nerdy and stiff as Reed Richards (who is much more mature and assertive in the comics), and Jessica Alba is just miscast as Sue Storm, don't get me wrong, I think Jessica Alba is one gorgeous woman, but she's just not Sue Storm, the filmmakers should've hired a real blonde, more anglo-looking than latina-looking Jessica Alba with that fake dye/wig of hers, imagine if Charlize Theron was a bit shorter (she's too tall though), wow, she would've made a perfect Sue Storm.

[txteach]

To me, the guy from Smallville (sorry, don't know his name) is the best Lex around.

[EMCE Hammer]

A lot of agreement with others, but I don't see anyone giving any love to John Wesley Shipp as the Flash.

[Brue]

oh yeah, steve i agree shipp is very good

all of these people I believe is the character
many others have done well in their roles

some are an embarrasment to the character (silverstone and macmahon come to mind)

nicholson is often lilsted as a good casting - i totally disagree. entertaining maybe. THE joker - no

Dafoe: great osbourne/ bad goblin
