Best Performances

Heath Ledger and Robert Downey Jr's respective performances as comic book characters recently have been in my opinion, excellent. What others do you think are either perfect portrayals of characters or maybe an actor's own take on a character which worked out well.

One I really liked was Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta. It probably wasn't a spot on portrayal, but his voice work was just perfect.

I have to agree with you on Robert Downey Jr's performance. It was fabulous!

I have a list!

Christopher Reeves as Superman

Thomas Jane as The Punisher

Jackie Earl Haley as Rorshach

Jeffery Dean Morgan as The Comedian

Michael Keaton as Batman

Edward Norton as The Hulk

Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man

Heath Ledger as The Joker

and Brandon Lee as The Crow

In my opinion, he was a poor Bruce Wayne, but to date, the best Batman.

I'll agree with you that Hugh Jackman is a great Wolverine. But Toby Maguire was terrible as Spiderman! Topher Grace should have been Spiderman

Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent

Wesley Snipes as Blade

Jackie Earl Haley as Rorshach

Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man

Heath Ledger as The Joker

Downey, jr Tony Stark/Iron Man

Tobey Maguire Peter Parker/SWpidey

Christian Bale Bruce Wayne/Batman

Heath Ledger The Joker

Heath Ledger was wonderful as The Joker. Christain Bale was alright as Batman but I honestly loved Batman Forever's Batman.

Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Jack Nicholson, Willem Dafoe, Christopher Reeve, Robert Downey Jr., Ed Norton, Michelle Pieffer (sp?), Alfred Molina, Tobey Maguire, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Tim Roth, Cillian Murphy, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Ray Stevenson, & Brandon Lee are all people who have pulled off great performances. Yes, some have been better than others but they all did great in their respective roles. Of course this list could've ended up being much longer, but I had to stop it somewhere.

Chris Reeve as well, Wesley Snipes

Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

Christian Bale in Batman Begins.

Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight

Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta

Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man

and of course,

Tobey Maguire as 'dark Spidey' in Spiderman 3.

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr Freeze in Batman & Robin.

I'll throw in Mickey Rourke as Marv in Sin City.

My top two in no specific order
Robert Downey Jr - Tony Strak/Iron Man
Heath Ledger - Joker

Edward Norton as Banner/Hulk
Robert Downey Jr as Stark
Ledger as Joker

. . . others

Ledger as The Joker

Jackie Earle Haley as Rorshach
and finally the underrated Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan; I thought he did a great job.

I've been reading a lot of stuff about were people are bashing Christian Bale as an actor and with his performance in The Dark Knight. The major thing they complain about was his voice. But freakin Jackie Earle Haley who played Rorschach, did a voice just as low or lower than Bale.

Rorshach you could understand. he also is suppose to speak like that in the book! lol Idk Bale was okay. I preffer Michael Keaton or Val Kilmer though
