Best and worst superhero celebrity castings...

I know how much you guys hated Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern, but after watching the new Judge Dredd, I realized how much Sylvester Stallone sucked as the Mega City Lawman. Still, I think both were better than George Clooney as Batman.
This makes me believe celebrities shouldn't be cast as superheroes. But Sir Patrick Stewart was great as Professor X and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. So who are the best and worst celebrity superheroes...in your opinion?
And let's not forget the villains because Tommy Lee Jones really sucked as Two-face.

Christian Bale as Batman
I really like Hugh Jackman and have become accustomed to him as Wolverine but that casting was terrible at the time. Now imagine someone like Tom Hardy as Wolverine.
Best/Easiest had to have been Patrick Stewart as Prof. X.

a more interesting question would be comparing acting jobs by the same actor who has been cast in multiple superhero/villain roles
Chris Evans: Johnny Storm vs. Captain America
Ryan Reynolds: Green Lantern vs. Dead Pool
Halle Berry: Storm vs. Cat Woman
Chris Evans: Johnny Storm vs. Captain America
Ryan Reynolds: Green Lantern vs. Dead Pool
Halle Berry: Storm vs. Cat Woman

Christopher Reeve wasn't a celebrity when cast for Superman.

Not saying he's the best, but I liked Michael Chiklis as The Thing.

Best: Sir Patrick Stewart as Professor X
Worst: Ben Affleck as Daredevil, Halle Berry as Catwoman and Alicia Silverstone as Barbara Wilson were all pretty awful performances

this pisses me off to this day
the 2 characters are part of the same universe, therefore the same actor should NOT be allowed to play them

Best: bale as batman, fassbender as magneto
Worst: Brandon routh as superman

Brandon Routh was cast because he looked like Christopher Reeve.
Just so I don't rehash the same names. Pfieffer was a good Catwoman even though the movie was God awful.
Reynolds sucked as Green Lantern. Should have been a black guy.

Routh gets unfair treatment here - he looked the part of Clark and Superman - the Story itself was terrible.
Superman - Christopher Reeve
Iron Man - Robert Downey Jr.
Professor X - Patrick Stewart
Wolverine - Hugh Jackman
Magneto - Fassbender
Storm - Halle Berry - terrible lines though
Cap America/Human Torch/Jensen in the Losers - Chris Evans
Dredd - Karl Urban
Joker - Heath Ledger
2 face - Aaron Eckhart
I hated pretty much all characters from Batman and Robin except Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy.
all characters from Daredevil were pretty terrible
I really like James Marsden as an actor (his part in Sex drive was a riot) - but hated him as Cyclops.
**edited to add peeps i can't believe i forgot
