Worst: Brandon routh as superman



The movie sucked and basically everyone was miscast in that movie, but Routh was fine as Superman. He's a fine actor and I don't have a problem with him. And speaking of that:

Worst: Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane

Best: tie for me between Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine

Worst: Not because I think he was necessarily the absolute worst, but no one has mentioned him so....Jim Carrey as the Riddler.

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'm not sure how Hemmsworth is for Thor? He wasn't bad. Pretty much sums up what I had in mind for Thor.

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


They are not both in the MCU, so it's fair game. You won't see that FF ever cross with Cap.


OP-
Tier 1:
Downey
Garfield
Reeve
Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach

Bottom rung:
Mardsen as Cyclops
Matthew Goode as Ozymandis
Arnold as Freeze
January Jones as Emma Frost
Affleck as Daredevil

Ledger - Joker

He's a villain in a superhero movie. But I don't consider the Joker a superhero

I think he should be included - villian and not a hero? sure thing, but he defined the character in a way that any joke going forward will be help to that standard.

Hero or not, he was the perfect casting for that part, which honestly is the spirit of which this thread is about.

The MOST SPOT ON casting ever in a superhero movie is J.K. Simmons.

NO ONE ELSE can or should ever play J. Jonah Jameson.

I just meant that he's just a guy, not any kind of super power or crazy gadgets

Without a doubt.

Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier is the best.

I can't really cant peg down the worst.

Pretty much the entire cast of Batman and Robin.

On the Marvel side, Topher Grace as Eddie Brock.

Yeah it starts with Reeve as Superman for me. After that it's a tie with Patrick Stewart, Downey, and Jackman.

There's been too many awful superheros to really name

I think the best are:

1. Reeve as Superman
2. Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman
3. Downey Jr. as Iron Man
4. Patrick Stewart as Professor X

Good pick. I thought he was the best portrayal of any Watchmen character.

As for Tier 2:

Keanu Reeves as John Constantine
Tom Jane as The Punisher (really hurt by terrible story)
