Who was/is the best portrayal of a comic character?

[kept back]

Tell me who you think has done the best jobs at portraying a comic character on screen. Television counts, but I feel animated would be it's own thing. You could pick Val Kilmer as the best Batman, but Kevin Conroy has to be disqualified due to the fact that all we got was his voice.

On your mark...

get set...

GO!

Christopher Reeve as Superman from "Superman:The Movie" only (Superman II not so much with the love thing with Lois)

Adam West/Burt Ward: Batman & Robin
Christopher Reeve (RIP): Superman

Adam West !!!!! For Batman and Robert Downey Jr. for IronMan !

[BlackKnight]

Toby McGuire } Spidey
Downey JR. } Ironman
Chris Reeves } Superman
Huge Jackman } Wolvie
& The Guy Who just played Johnny Storm.... I forgot his name,... However his character of the Human Torch was great imo...
I also liked Picard as the Professor-X & Norton as Banner .

Oh yeah Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman! How could I forget her?

[Earth 2 Chris]

My absolute favorite is Reeve as both Superman AND Clark Kent. Unlike any other actor before or after him, he made the conceit work., which is no easy task. He also portrayed Superman's "boy scout" virture sincerely, and in a way that didn't make him look like a collosal dork in a cynical world. Again, not easy to do.

Also dig Bale for the modern Batman, West and Ward for the Silver Age Dynamic Duo, and Carter, Maguire, and Jackman for their respective roles.

Chris
