8 Actors Who Were Sadly Wasted In DC Movies

3) Tommy Lee Jones – Batman Forever

This one is more of a waste of opportunity than the actor as such. Tommy Lee Jones is actually in Batman Forever quite a bit – after all, he is one of the film’s main antagonists as Harvey Dent AKA Two-Face. The problem here is that his performance is terrible.

Rather than playing a tragic character with deep psychological issues, Jones’ Two-Face is a cackling Joker knockoff – and the film had one of those already in Jim Carrey’s Riddler. This is a real pity, as if Jones brought his A-game he could have been fantastic in the role. As it is though, this is an unfortunate case of a pitch-perfect casting going wrong.

Some say director Joel Schumacher pushed the actor for an OTT performance, while other sources claim Jones was worried Carrey would steal his thunder so he aped the actor’s style. Whatever the truth is, we wish it could have gone another way.
