[Insert dirty (but true) joke about John Barrowman and his magic lamp here]
Pretty good list, though I would have taken out Jack Nicholson in Batman (too much Jack, not enough Joker) and added in Mickey Rourke in Sin City either at the fourth or third spot. Yeah, I thought he was that good.
I would definitely have added Thora Birch in Ghost World to the comics list, although splitting it up so that superhero and non-superhero comics-inspired films weren't competing against each other might be in order to do that.
Robert -- good point. I knew there was someone awesome who was missing.
BeRightBack -- hmmm. i prefer Scarlett's performance in that movie... though I totally understand why Thora Bitch's character is more memorable for people and easier to be "into"
"Thora Bitch"? Freudian typo?
I liked the Robin Hood article. But this very important version was left out.
alison -- oh man. how could lundegaard skip that one?
berightback --- oops. i swear to god that wasn't on purpose. but no, i'm not a fan ;)
out of context, but haven't you seen CHLOE yet?
