It's basically just the same word as underappreciated.

Said only you....I thought it was pretty bad besides a few parts, the opening scene was good but the rest was pretty awful. I wasn't a fan of Tommy Lee as Two Face, he was too sloppy. I liked the Two Face in Batman TAS

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

At the time I remember not liking Tommy Lee Jones' Two Face at all but thinking Jim Carrey did a good job as The Riddler. Haven't seen it in years though so don't know if that would hold up.
And I thought Val Kilmer was a stiff as Batman.

Iain Glen's play on an older Bruce Wayne in Titans is really refreshing. He's the opposite of the bitter asshole Frank Miller version. He doesn't look much like a Bruce Wayne and I can see that turning some off but I really appreciate his approach.

You mean he looks like a real person?

How many 72-year-olds do you know?
