I have said this so many times in the batman section but the Keaton and Burton lovers just dont get it,they never will.Michael keaton was so totally wrong for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.He was by far the worst casting choice in comicbook history because of how physically wrong he was for the role.I mean pudgy gut,receding hairline,half bald,short runt,for tall,muscular,handsome,full set of hair Bruce Wayne? what a total joke!!! Some people just dont get it though no matter how much you spell it out to them that THATS the reason they are redoing and restarting the batman franchise because his casting choice pissed off so many die hard Batman fans because he brought no crediblity to the role because he didnt even come close to fitting the part.Tim Burton only cast him be cause he was friends with him and felt comfortable working with him,he didnt care about making the best casting choice possible.I have spoken to so many batman fans over the years both on the net and in real life who hated the first two films because Keaton was so miscast for the role.With Superman,Richard Donner made the perfect casting choice In Christopher Reeve,he so fitted the role,But Tim Burton screwed the batman movies up big time with his horrible casting choice of keaton.Thank god for Batman Begins and Chrisopher Nolan because unlike Burton and schumacher,they seem to understand the batman movies and care about the fans.Casting Christian Bale was a great choice because not only is he a good actor but he fits the part as well and will bring credibility to the role because of that which Keaton could not.Then there is Halle berry who rivals keaton.sorry but she is ugly looking,not at all attractive like catwoman is suppose to be.Horrible casting choice there as well.Dont even get me started on Chris O'donnel.Not only was he way too old for the role of Robin his acting is horrible. Schumacher topped Burton with his casting choice of Clooney for the role.That guy is not good looking at all for the role of handsome Bruce wayne.the guy looks like Eddie Munster for god sakes!!!! 😆

Well, us ppl who like/love the Burton Batmans care more about character than physical appearance. That's why Clooney and Kilmer were terrible, they couldn't do the character at all

Other then those two, I'd say:
- Hayden Christensen and Jake Lloyd as Anakin Skywalker
-Brad Dourif as Wormtongue
-Leo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson
-The kids of Harry Potter (all of them)

I thought he was good as Jack Dawson? Who else would be a better part? Garth from Waynes World?

Well, for us people who hated keaton as batman we care about phisichal apparence so much as performance. One thing without another is a mistake.

By the way, i liked elijah wood as frodo. And wesley snipes is perfect as blade. Stallone or dolph lundgren as blade? Dolph lundgren a great actor? those are some of the funniest things that i have read in a forum ever.

George Clooney in Batman
And Keaton was good as batman compared to anyone else who ever played him (except for the guy in dead end maybe)
Oh and The kid in Star Wars **** I hated that kid.
"Are you an angel" NO SHE IS NOT YOU STUPID PRICK AND NOW **** OFF.

Oh yes and Nicholas Cage in just every movie he has ever been in.

Dolph Lundgren or Stallone as Blade, they aren't really black are they?

Most of Nick Cage's works are written specifically with him in mind. Actors being miscast are usually more opinion than anything.

Matchstick Men was ****ing genious.

The Queen of the Damned was a major culprit for bad casting.

kate beckinsale in "the aviator" wasn't a very good choice to play ava gardner.

i think the one who plays the green goblins son in the spiderman movies (i cant remember his name) would have been pretty good for anakin. he has the innocent evil escence in his acting. Unlike the spoilt teenager acting that hayden christiansen put across.

I dunno know but Kate never seems to fit in any role for the movies. She is not a bad actress, but she doesn't fit certain roles.

i've got to say, ben affleck as daredevil - sucks !
entire main casts of batman from keaton to clooney, r u with me ?

who's he next james bond ? Clive owen, or someone else ?

Now you see, thats what I agree with!

Well he so didnt suit an explorer. (National Treasure). Although Sean Bean really suited the bad guy as he always does. Thinking about it, he always starts off a good guy and ends up a bad guy.

James Bond 007 Goldeneye (I think).
LOTR
National Treasure
there are more but i cant remember the name.

He was a good guy in those Listerine commercials, fighting plaque and the gingivitis.

I still think Pierce Brosnan was so wrong for the role of James Bond and the worst ever.He is not at all a good actor and is always playing himself in all his movies.

Can't really play yourself if all you play is James Bond. Then there's no such thing as typecasting in Mr. Brosnan's world. I've never known James Bond to be a very eccentric character to begin with, anyway?

Di Caprio might not have been stellar in gangs, but I thought the worse choice was Diaz for that film. Daniel Day Lewis was pure genius, in my opinion.

Nick Cage in Gone In 60 Seconds. I love that movie but hes so not an underground gangster. They should have made the main character Ving Rhames

Scwarzenegger was totally wasted as Mr.Freeze in Batman & Robin!
