    It was a minor role, but Nightcrawler in X2 was really well done.
    John Wesley Shipp as the 90's Flash was awesome.

    Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is another great one. Can't imagine anyone else playing the role.

    Wesley Snipes as BLADE was clutch too.



    Your favorites?

    Jack Nicholson as "Joker"...People OVERRATE Heath Ledger's Version, Because it was THE Last Role of his Life...Nicholson's Version was BETTER, in REED's Opinion...

    Robert Downey, Jr. was BORN to Play Tony Stark...The LOOK...The Perpetually TROUBLED, Party Boy Lifestyle...Absolute PERFECT Fit...The Role RESURRECTED Downey, Jr.'s Career & Made him Arguably THE Biggest Box Office Attraction in Hollywood...He's Such a NATURAL Fit for Stark, the Iron Man Suit has Become a BIT PART of the Storyline...

    These 2 Instances IMMEDIATELY Jump Out @ REED...

    REED HATED the Choice of Jackman as Wolverine, INITIALLY, but as You Stated, it's HARD to Envision ANYBODY Else Portraying Him, Now...Halle Berry SUCKED as CatWoman, but was Pretty Decent as Storm, in REED's Opinion...Chris Hemsworth as Thor is Spot On, as Is Patrick Stewart as Professor X...

    Christopher Reeve was Superman. All the other actors before and after him suck in comparison.

    Like the majority comicbook nerds, Panchy INITIALLY groaned at the casting of Michael Keaton as Batman, but IMO turned out to be the best of the bunch.

    Both Danny DeVito & Michelle Pfeiffer were excellent as The Penguin and Catwoman. Arnold was badly miscast as Mr. Freeze.

    Buster Crabbe was born to play Flash Gordon and who else but Bruce Lee could have been better as Kato?
