I like that list too! Not sure about Cary Grant as Batman.....I couldn't think of what superhero he would be best as.......

Forgot about Rod Taylor, he should be on my list somewhere.

Tab Hunter as Aquaman? Pretty young, but...

[torgospizza]

Gregory Peck as Batman is an old "dream casting" stand-by (I think t-bolt mentioned him), and that's pretty dead-on.

[madmarva]

I think Mazzuchelli (sic) used Peck as a model when drawing Batman Year 1

As for Cary Grant, I think if you put a 1940s style Batman mask on him, he would look quite a bit like the Kane/Sprang version in the 1940s.
