Discussion of anything other than the stuff that goes in the Joes forum. However, off-topic is not synonymous with stupidity. Try to keep this interesting to the rest of us please.

So I happened to mention at work today I was in the middle of watching season 2 of the campy Adam West 60s Batman TV show.

This started a discussion about villains/heroes that were never usedand what if there were more seasons. We started thinking about who we would cast in the roles. I ran some by Spectre and he reminded me of the unused Two-Face idea. We did not look at any online lists to see who others have cast. We also went with Christopher Reeve and Lynda Carter as Superman and Wonder Woman.

A couple of these we couldn't decide on the best person for the role, so I'd like your take...

Ra's al Ghul: Lorne Green
Talia: Natalie Wood or Rita Hayworth
Two-Face: Clint Eastwood
Poison Ivy: Ann-Margaret
Zatanna: Ann Miller
Amygdala: Dan Blocker
Harley Quinn: Goldie Hawn
Black Mask: Tom Jones
Ventriloquist: Michael J. Pollard (could have been a great Mad Hatter too) or Wally Cox
Bane: Steve Reeves
Andrea Beaumont: Natalie Wood/Rita Hayworth
Aquaman: Tab Hunter
Green Lantern (John Stewart): Sidney Poitier
Scarecrow: Anthony Perkins
Deathstroke: Jeff Chandler
Man-Bat/Kirk Langstrom: Paul Newman
Martian Manhunter: Woody Strode or Brock Peters
Clayface: Robert Ryan
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan): John Gavin

Also if you have any suggestions for the ones I've missed, please feel free to suggest them.

My takes--

Ras Al Ghul -- Christopher Lee
Clayface -- John Carradine
Solomon Grundy - Bruno Sammartino

I love Michael Pollard for the Ventriloquist and I'd add Clint Howard playing Scarface the puppet.

I actually considered Clint Howard for Ventriloquist, but felt Pollard was the better fit. That smirk of his.
