Quintessential superhero actors

Post by tommy »

I'm not sure about that title, but it's too late to change it now.

Who do you consider the quintessential versions of these characters:

Batman
Superman
Spiderman

Christopher Reeves is Superman.
Kevin Conroy is Batman. If he doesn't count then no one is quintessential they all have issues.
Also no one has really nailed Spider-Man though I do like Tom Holland but he's kinda Iron Lad or something.

We both accidentally added an s to Reeve. Whoops.

Personally, I think Christopher Reeve's Superman is probably the best superhero performance out there.

I agree that live action Batman is the toughest call. Keaton is definitely the best Bruce Wayne, but I'm not sure who the best Batman is.

Batman is the only one I really cared about as a kid and Kevin Conroy is my guy.

It’s Christopher Reeve, guys.

For those older, it’s George Reeves.
