    Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          & BTW,... I never knew Rick Springfeild Was a Super Hero. I guess you learn something new everyday,... whether or not you needed too.

            Well, I believe the thread asked for comic book character's real life portrayal. Now, I never read the Human Target comic book, but the television character Christopher Chance wasn't a superhero. He was an ex military man who took the place of other people who were in trouble using high tech disguises.

            THE HUMAN TARGET # 1 DOUBLE-LENGTH 1991 VERHEIDEN! - eBay (item 360034755268 end time Sep-15-08 10:34:37 PDT)

            'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
            Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
            If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                Michale Caine as Alfred? Really? I loathed him as Alfred.
                Same with Scarecrow. Too "I wanna be Jack Nicholson as the Joker" for me.
                Actually, I have to disagree with almost all of the Batman choices. Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman were perfect though.
                Willem Dafoe was too over the top. Which is sad because I like him and I had high hopes.

                Toby McGuire was perfect as Spidey.

                I'll add Arnold as Conan

                I agree with the rest excpet I actually liked the FF movies to a degree. Michael Chicklis made a great Ben Grimm. Doom ruined the movies. The character and the actor just blew.

                  Yes. Doc Ock was the second best cast member of any of the Spidey movies. I thought 2 was by far the best and Ock was the best portrayal.

                    Since everyones picked all the good ones, I'm going to list some that should have/would have been the best:

                    Robert Wagner--Batman (think 60's era---not the growling psychopath of today)
                    David Niven--Alfred
                    Gregory Peck--Commissioner Gordon
                    Raquel Welch--Catwoman...or Wonder Woman
                    Kirk Douglas--Two Face (just imagine this one!)
                    Sean Connery (vintage 1980) Ras Al Ghul

                      Superman- George Reeves. No knock on Chris I love him as Superman but George was given a low budget tv show and made magic with it. Plus he kicked everybody's *** in the first season and crashed through walls like nobody.

                      Batman- Bale is Batman now/ Adam West is Batman every other time

                      Captain Marvel- Tom Tyler is a bad *** mofo in the Repubic movie serials he throws bad guys off roofs shoots them and has an accurate version of the classic costume and the flying effects were great for the time.

                      Wolverine- Hugh Jackman
                      Spiderman- Tobey McGuire
                      Blade- Wesley Snipes
                      Wonder Woman- Lynda Carter
                      Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers- Buster Crabbe no one was better
                      The Phantom- Billy Zane underated fun movie he was a perfect version of him
                      The Rocketeer- Bill Campbell....dead on accurate looks like he walked out of the comic
                      The Flash- John Wesley Shipp
                      Lois Lane- Margot Kidder
                      Catwoman- Julie Newmar
                      Batgirl-Yvonne Craig
                      The Riddler-Frank Gorshin
                      The Joker-Heath Ledger/Cesar Romero
                      David Bruce Banner-Bill Bixby

                        From what I know of Spider-Man comics---it seems Tobey's performance was
                        incredible (I sure was a fan)---so there's that.

                        As much as I'm starting to lose my intent interest in the
                        Reeve SUPERMAN movies...I still think he was probably the best at
                        encapsulating what SUPERMAN meant to me as a kid...and as an adult
                        (presently). The tone in the Reeve movies weren't as finely honed
                        as it was in SUPERMAN RETURNS...but Reeve's performance was excellent
                        ...as was Kidder's "gruff" interpretation of Lois Lane----THAT'S the kind
                        of Lois that I think needs to be shown---a no nonsense "borderline *****"
                        if you will---to balance out Superman's "pure goodness" vibe that I think
                        he should have.

                        And who doesn't love Stamp's ruthless and "full of vengence" Zod?

                        I also have to applaud Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor.

                        As far as the Batman stuff goes---I don't really understand the character
                        from the comics---more from the animated show---but I think Bale is dang good at "being" The Bat (I'm not referring to the one that posts here!).

                        The Joker?

                        Neither Nicholson or Ledger came across as how I envision him on the screen
                        ----BUT I loved both of their performances regardless.

                        Not a big Carrey fan---but Carrey as PLASTIC MAN would probably be great.

                        Clooney is a bit too old now---but I think he woulda made a
                        KILLER Hal Jordan Green Lantern.

                        Debbie Mazar or Jennifer Tilly would make great Harley Quinns if they aren't
                        too old for the role at this point.

                              I'd love to have seen Peck as the Bat-Man instead. Even better, Errol Flynn as Batman and Basil Rathbone as the Joker. Kirk Douglas would have been a kick *** Two Face. If they would have used Two Face on the 66 show, my fantasy pick would have been Shatner or Sinatra.

                                During the early '90s, Eddie Murphy was vying for 'Green Hornet' on the big screen. With Keaton as Batman, a young Murphy would have made a SUPER Hornet. Sounds odd, but under the right director, he would have rocked with some asian guy (or girl..) to play Kato.

                                Seriously..

                                For me, it's still Adam, Burt, Yvonne, Frank, and Julie from the ol' Batman series!
