3. Two-Face - Batman Forever
In theory I could have gone for any villain in the much easier Batman And Robin; Ivy, Freeze and Bane are all horribly realised. But the worst example, given how partner the Riddler sort of worked, is most certainly Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face. The recast of Billy Dee Williams irks me, but given his minor roles in Burtons films I'm willing to overlook that in place of the bigger problem. The Two-Face we got in Forever is really only that character on a superficial level; when you get down to it Jones version has more in common with the Joker. Think about it. Take away all the half and half symbolism (if you can call something so overt that) and the character himself has little relating him to the original; hes just another generic crazed madman. Even flipping the coin, Dents defining characteristic, is negated here. When the option he wants doesn't come up he just tosses it again. Thats less chance and more chaos, similar to a certain clown prince of crime. This flaw was referenced in The Dark Knight, where a pre transformation Harvey threatens to retoss the coin, which Batman swiftly stops. Nolan's film may be better remembered for the Oscar winning Joker, but it certainly knew how to do a cracking Two Face as well.
