    I don't think Clooney would have been the best, but physically, he could have pulled it off. Moreso than Keaton. He is a decent actor when he's not being "George Clooney, movie star". In B&R, he was "movie star as Batman".

Again, changing things because they feel they have to or something.
        So I guess all you didn't like in the Spider movies were Venom and Green Goblin?

              I agree completely. Of all the guys who played The Batman, at least Clooney looked the best in the role. He was the best-looking guy, with the squarest chin, and the straightest mouth (no sissy puckering). So I thought he looked best in the Bat-cowl.

              But he certainly would not have been my first choice to play Bruce / Batman.

              I wonder what he would have looked like in a more traditional looking bat-suit.

              It's a just a pity that the script and his performance were both so poor. He had this bizzare tick when he delivered his lines that I absolutely hated: It was this strange head shake from side to side that just drove me nuts. It looked particularly bad when he was wearing the Bat cowl.

              Someone in his camp must have told him about that, because he has since stopped doing it in his subsequent roles.

                No one??? No other Actor in the World was available?? I couldn't disgree more!! One reason Burton picked Keaton as Batman is because He worked with Him on Beetlejuice. But there was another Actor in Beetlejuice that, "at the time"...would have made an excellent Batman...Alec Baldwin!

                  And MJ and Harry Osborne
                  I thought James Franco did great as Harry. Sure, Harry had never been visualized as a pretty boy before, but then again, MJ had never been less than drop-dead gorgeous, and Dunst, while not unattractive, isn't the "jackpot" for sure..

                  And how can anyone have that strange Ditko hairstyle that Norman and Harry have in the comics. What is that, corn rows? Corn Rows in 1966? HUH?!?

                    Sorry folks, you can all go lie down. I have the absolute worst super-hero casting right here:
                    Wonder Woman: Who's Afraid of Diana Prince? (1967) (TV)
                    I know there was a link posted here months back about the legendary Wonder Woman pilot from 1967. I've never seen anything as lame, dim-witted, or just plain gawd-awful as this horrid turd, and I defy anyone here to to prove me wrong!

                          Alec Baldwin??? Aww Come on..That's even more laughable than Keaton . Baldwin couldn't even carry The Shadow let alone play the caped crusader.......sure he could pass as Bruce but as Batman? for me no way......
