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!

28 year old male likes long walks on the beaches and romantic dinners in the...whoa...wrong posting. Greetings all! If you are reading this, you probably want to know a thing or two about me. I am indeed a 28 year old dude from Oregon, I'm happily married, and I am a creative professional that does graphic design and photography to try (keyword is try) to make money in this crazy world we live in. I'm totally insane about film and the arts, and I have some pretty strong political/religious/social opinions as well. I draw quite a bit of inspiration from film, and often use it as a lens for viewing the world. On this site, you’ll catch me writing about a variety of, well, stuff, and you can agree, disagree, or be indifferent, but any way you look at it, I love a good argument (I forgot to mention that I studied philosophy for two years, so argumentation, as long as it is good, gets me all excited). Happy blogging to all!
