neither toby mcguire nor christian bale were big names before they starred as spider-man/batman, and both are above average actors

christian bale being arguably a phenomenal actor

agreed, both were recognizable though. the benefit comes from the alter-ego (regular guy) being identified with the actor but not the hero himself.

The Hero has to be the hero and no-one else. Otherwise it fails. Parker can be tobey mcguire, but spiderman can't be.

wat about prof x and patrick stewart or ian mckellan as fagneto?

for the record i did not like halle berry as storm. i like halle berry, but she always came across as not taking the role seriously enough

[mmmbeans]

patrick stewart is patrick stewart and prof X isn't a real character in the films, just an embedded plotline. Ian Mckellan isn't a well enough known actor to have an affect. Outside of star trek, same could be argued for stewart.

besides the fact that both of those characters aren't part of the american mythology. Spiderman/batman/superman are on an entirely different level societally than profX or magneto.

/fagneto?

michael keaton as batman

val kilmer as batman

lol george clooney as batman

val wasn't so bad, i actually think he was the best overall of the 3

danny devito as the penguin, and good lord i never liked jack nicholson as the joker, but everyone went apeshit over it

jim carey was ok as the riddler, and the only reason tommy lee jones failed as two face was because of the script

so...

i loved tommy lee jones as two-face. what part of my point are you trying to disprove?

stars without masks don't work?

well for one, i can't name a big ticket actor that i could see portraying superman but would clark kent be any easier?

and even so, they can't just go making steve rogers a ginger or bruce wayne a persian

the thing that makes superman so tough is unlike parker or bruce wayne is he has remained as unchanged as possible, and still looks basically the same now as he did in the 50s, whereas different artists have lended different looks to other alter egos

superman is not allowed to be touched, and as such, demands a specific look

and finding any good actor with an amazing physique like superman is no easy task

no i'm not done editing my post

right. it has to be superman. especially because he doesn't have a mask.

it can't be george clooney dressed as superman. that would be ridiculous. george clooney can dress as batman because as long as he has the cowl up and shuts the f*ck up you forget it's george clooney. Superman doesn't have that advantage which is why they cast no-name actors without audience baggage to play supes.

We're saying the same thing.

even then i would absolutely reject clooney as clark kent, just like i did as bruce wayne. i hated michael keaton as bruce wayne, thought he did ok as batman. i'm one of the few people that only likes batman returns out of that franchise era though

michael bay could make a superman movie and make him an eskimo and millions of people would still go see it

only people like you and i would really give a fug

i still haven't seen the batman with clooney, arnold and uma thurman

i'm not suggesting clooney play superman. but your comment is even more to my point.

the clooney batman is truly one of the great disasters of cinema. it really is worth watching once.

I'd have to strongly disagree. Bale has been doing big movies since he was like 13...but you're pretty much right about Toby McGuire

[davos]

And does anyone think Superman is just kinda lame? I never even liked him when I was a kid.

he's been doing movies since he was a kid...but does anyone actually recognize him as the kid from Empire of the Sun? Or Newsies?

he had a cult following from The Machinist and American Psycho, but that didn't make him a big name actor, just a legitimate one

i personally liked him in All the Little Animals

a small portion of fans were thrilled about him in batman begins, but everyone else was like...

who?

myself i was like...

american psycho as batman/bruce wayne? i dunno about that wtf

glad i was wrong

no i'm not done editing my post

love empire of the sun.

my favorite spielberg.
