Favorite Superheroes in a Non-Superhero film?

[phantom stranger]

So by now, practically every major actor has some connection to a super hero movie. I always find it interesting to see two actors from different superhero films appear in the same movie.

Some of my favorites:

Michael Keaton and Morgan Freeman in "Clean and Sober": You've got Lucius Fox helping Bruce Wayne kick the habit. Can't get any better than that.

Christopher Reeve and Morgan Freeman in "Street Smart": Reeve plays an investigative reporter. Freeman plays a pimp.  One of these is giving me deja vu.

Michael Keaton and Robert Downey Jr. in "Game 6": Well, actually I didn't care for this film but come on, you can't beat that pair.

Reeve and Keaton in "Speechless": Reeve plays a reporter (again) and Keaton plays a...oh who cares? It's Bats and Supes in the same movie!!

And I'm going to give an honorable mention to Christian Bale who finds himself before a Judge played by none other than Pat Hingle in the "Shaft" remake.

Not to mention that shaft also has Nick Fury/ Octopus in it.

A little off topic, but I remember a movie called Super Cops years ago with two rogue cops and Hingle was the commisioner of police I think. Near the end he referred to the two cops as Batman and Robin, little did he know that he would star in the classic Batman '89 and all its sequels.

Wow, how have I not heard of this movie?

Of course, it's just my luck that I can't find a copy anywhere! Not even the trailer. There's some speculation on IMDB that it hasn't seen a release for copyright reasons because the cops are referred to as Batman and Robin but I doubt it. There's a movie called Copland with Stallone in which one of the cops is repeatedly referred to as Superboy. Never heard of any issues with that.

How about the TV movie, The Company, starring Michael "Batman" Keaton, Chris "Robin" O'Donnell, and Alfred " Doc Ock" Molina.


Sphere also has Dustin "Mumbles" Hoffman, Samuel "Nick Fury" Jackson, and Sharon "stupid Catwoman villain" Stone.

It's probably a bootleg but http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUPER-COPS-David-Selby-Ron-Leibman-RARE-All-Region-/250653706174?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item3a5c2007be

[Tarzan1941]

Another good one would be Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. and Batman Val Kilmer.

Plus The Prestige with Batman Christian Bale, Alfred Michael Caine and Wolverine Hugh Jackman.

Also The Package with Lex Luthor Gene Hackman and Two-Face Tommy Lee Jones.

A long time ago I had started a list of all the Batman actors who were in other movies together.  I included Tim Burton on my list as well, but left out producers, best boy, and stand-ins for obvious reasons.  For example in no particular order since this is off the top of my head:

City Slickers
Jack Palance and Tracey Walter

Mars Attacks
Tim Burton and Jack Nicholson

Hoffa
Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito

The Peacemaker
George Clooney and Nicole Kidman

Mad Love
Chris O'Donnell and Drew Barrymore

My Life
Michael Keaton and Nichole Kidman

Johnny Dangerously
Michael Keaton and Danny DeVito

One Fine Day
Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney

Predator
Arnold Schwarzeneggeer and Jesse Ventura

Last Action Hero
Arnold Schwarzeneggeer and Danny DeVito

Cobb
Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Wuhl

Pulp Fiction
Uma Thurman and Christopher Walken

The Real McCoy
Kim Basinger and Val Kilmer

Man on the Moon
Jim Carrey and Danny DeVito

Blue Sky
Tommy Lee Jones and Chris O'Donnell

You folks get the idea.  Let me know if anyone is interested in the rest of the list.  If so, I'll unbox it and attempt to update it to include Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

D'oh!

I forgot "Wolf" with Pfeiffer and Nicholson.


Hmm... I never realized O'Donnell was in Blue Sky.

Yea, it'd be a fun list to look at Tarzan if you have the time.

[THE BAT-MAN]

Hoffa
Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito

Tim Burton also appeared in Hoffa.  check it out.

[Tarzan1941]

Hoffa
Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito

Tim Burton also appeared in Hoffa.  check it out.

That's Fantastic!!!  The next time I watch the movie (it came it out in 1992 and I finally got around to watching it in 2010) I will look for that!  Great stuff!!!
