I thought George Clooney was bad as Batman and Arnie was horrible as Freeze

I would add Gal Gadot as WW.

I like Gadot but not as much as Lynda Carter

Clooney was bad but not as bad as Pattinson

I though Arnold was good as Freeze

One I forgot Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor

Yeah, I think Gal was bad choice and I said that back before she was given the role. I don't think the villainess should be hotter than the main character. I thought Kristen Wiig was hotter as Cheetah. I never thought of her as sexy until her role as Cheetah. I should mention I like a slutty looking villainess.

To be fair, I thought Adrienne looked great. Unfortunately, the writing was just atrocious

Ah! A little bit of talking smack. :joker: Here's my list:

Aeon Flux - Charlize Theron: just terrible.

Shazam - Zachary Levi: when goofiness overstays its welcome.

Supergirl - Melissa Benoist: an actor can only be as good as the line they’re given.

The Flash - Ezra Miller: simply the worst.

Meteor Man - Robert Townsend: well…

I like Adrianne Palicki, but there was no saving that incarnation of Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman should not be unlikeable. See also: Cathy Lee Crosby.

I prefer to remember Adrianne Palicki as Mockingbird from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The script looked like it was cut and pasted by an early version of AI. Very little understanding of the source material. At least three different writers wrote parts and no attempt was made to fix continuity between their versions. It was questionable whether anyone read the final script that knew the material.

Re: Worst Superheroine/Superhero Potrayals

The DC movies are just wall to wall with terrible portrayals so it's hard to know where to start. A Superman who isn't Superman. A Wonder Woman whose Lasso is a torture device. A succession of Batmans who range from the inaudible to the invisible alongside several efforts at the Joker and Harley that are just intensely awful.

I will say that I was intrigued by the Adrianne Pallicki Wonder Woman effort just because it was so wrong it might have found something. It's like there's something interesting about such a total departure from anything that makes sense about the character.

On the Batman movies, I think the two Michael Keaton's ones are better than anything that the DC or MCU has produced
