10 Worst Comic Book Castings in Film History

7. Tommy Lee Jones As Two-Face in Batman Forever

Tommy Lee Jones could have been a great Two-Face. Just imagine a younger Jones in place of Aaron Eckhart (who was awesome) in €œThe Dark Knight.€ Think about that for just a second. Now think about €œBatman Forever,€ and cringe, gasp in horror, and ask yourself: €œWhat was Joel Schumacher thinking?€ Yes, Schumacher ruined Two-Face and much more about the Batman franchise, but he hired a great actor in a butchered role, and made Jones look like a buffoon while doing it. If Schumacher wanted a cackling, classic bank robber for Two-Face, why not bring on someone with a more slapstick style? Tommy Lee Jones is well known for his serious, dry sense of humor in films, yet he completely and unsuccessfully breaks that mold in €œBatman Forever,€ and the film world will forever be worse for it. Who They Should Have Cast: Tommy Lee Jones, but used him correctly!
