    I got no problem with Sam Jackson as Nick Fury. He's perfect for the super cool spy guy.

    I have to disagree with the above lists.

    Shaq looks the part. His acting skills are limited but if the character wasn't right it was because of directing and writing not that the actor was miscast.

    Halle Berry was a similar case. If you are going for Selina Kyle she would be all wrong but they were not - yes, this film is terrible but again not totally miscast

    Garner as Elektra. AWESOME. Again if you are judging the elektra movie it is bad. Could the part have been cast better? maybe. miscast - no.

    Devito as penguin. Jones as Two Face. Clooney as Batman. Again you are not judging the actor. you are judging the part.

    Bassinger was a perfect pick for Vale. And really - what does it even matter? second guessing this choice is akin to choosing the best boy grip.

    Pat hingle as gordon - again he was great -and does it really even matter

    Cage was fine.

    Some I definitely agree with:

    Schwartzenegger for Freeze
    MacMahon for Doom
    New Lois
    crosby as WW

    add
    new bat girlfriend
    harry osborne
    mary jane
    nicolson as joker was as bad if not a worse choice as keaton for batman -
    it looked like jack would be great and people questioned keaton - in the end i believe keaton was fine and nicolson was entertaining but he was not the joker

    miscast doesn't mean the actor was in a bad movie. miscast means they were wrong for the part.

    Most guys like Jessica Alba. A lot of people liked the FF movies. this doesn't mean she was the best choice for the movie.
