Ranking Every DC Movie Villain From Worst To Best
36. Selena - Faye Dunaway (Supergirl)
It's nothing short of a travesty that Supergirl had actors as brilliant as Peter Cook, Peter O'Toole, Mia Farrow and Faye Dunaway and still managed to be absolutely garbage.
Dunaway (in top billing) was obviously cast in the hope that she could recapture the same success as Bonnie & Clyde co-star Gene Hackman had as Lex Luthor. The problem, however, was that while he got a legendary, well-written figure to play with, she got a cartoonish monstrosity that seemingly encouraged her to over-act as much as possible.
Her wannabe witch has shades of Bedknobs & Broomsticks, and while the introduction of real magic to the Super franchise was a welcome diversion, it's horribly handled. Dunaway is spirited but terrible and she's saddled with both a horribly cliched script and a diabolically annoying sidekick (who was at one point almost played by Dolly Parton).
