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... -

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"Crayons taste like purple!"Comment

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 BixbyComment

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.Last edited by huedell; Aug 25, '08, 1:53 AM."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'.

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!Peace.. Through Superior Firepower.
