The 20 worst superhero movie castings of all time

No one is safe from ridicule. Not even Batman.Batman & Robin / Warner Bros.

With a few exceptions, every actor in Hollywood wants a piece of the superhero genre. Marvel and DC have redefined the movie landscape with their cinematic universes, and anybody with a resume is crawling out of the woodwork to audition for the next big part. With their long, rich histories, it can be hard to cast the right person as a comic book icon. Each unique character is has a specific level of nuance, and while an actor may look the part, that doesn�t always mean they have what it takes to capture the essence of the role.

We�ve already compiled our list for the best superhero casting decisions, rewarding such memorable Cozinhas marcenaria performances as Ryan Reynolds� Deadpool and Chris Evans� Captain America with well-deserved praise. Now, it�s time to turn our attention to the not so happy choices - the performances we�d rather forget than have to ever watch again. We�re not saying these actors are the only bad thing about their films, but they certainly didn�t bring a positive light to an already bad production.

So as a reminder that even celebrities make mistakes, we present the 20 Worst Superhero Movie Castings Of All Time.

We apologize in advance.
