Batman & Robin (1997)
George Clooney as Batman
Yeah, I think we all know Clooney was awful as Batman, even Clooney knows it! Joel Schumacher literally cast him because he saw a poster for a film starring Clooney, drew the cowl over his face, and thought it was a perfect fit! Seriously Clooney can't disguise himself as Batman, he doesn't use a different voice for Batman, and his chin sort of gives his identity away!
Who could've played the role better: Michael Keaton quit after 'Batman Returns' and Val Kilmer only made 'Batman Forever'. Maybe not the best choices for Batman but I think maybe Daniel Craig or Daniel Day-Lewis could've played Batman! Definitely better than Clooney did!

Sarah Jessica Parker as Meryl Morgan
Parker just can't play romantic leads and she was awful in this! Much worse than Hugh Grant!
Who could've played the role better: Probably someone like Martine McCutcheon, she and Hugh Grant played lovers really well in 'Love Actually' or Uma Thurman, she could've played the role better

G-Force (2009)
Nicolas Cage as Speckles
Nicolas Cage's voice simply didn't fit Speckles! This film was awful and this was one of the dilemmas.
Who could've played the role better: Probably Martin Freeman would've fitted the role better!

Horrid Henry: The Movie (2011)
Actors: Most of the cast
Who would've made better choices?
Any kid who didn't look innocent could've played Henry. Most of the characters look wrong and maybe some of these actors would've been better cast with better costumes and hairstyling!

Actors: Mark Addy as Fred Flintstone
Stephen Baldwin as Barney Rubble
Kristen Johnston as Wilma Slaghoople
Joan Collins as Pearl Slaghoople
Alan Cumming as The Great Gazoo
Who would've made better choices
While most of the actors did what they can, Joe Mantegna is no John Goodman but he would've made a better choice for Fred than Mark Addy. As for Barney, Stephen Baldwin was miscast and so bloody awful! I'm sure Rick Moranis could've reprised the role! Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Collins look quite alike but neither were good for Pearl and maybe instead of Rosie O'Donnell playing Betty, she could've played Pearl instead. And with Alan Cumming as the Gazoo, you could've got Harvey Korman, who voiced the Gazoo on the TV series as well as playing the Dictabird in the first movie!
