Poll: The Greatest Superhero Recasting Choices

For some of our most beloved superhero characters, we were unfortunately let down with performances that were not 'ideal' for the portrayals we had in our head. And then... BAM! A re-cast later and we're treated to the character we had always envisioned.

Which of the superhero recasting choices do you believe to be the most superior to its predecessor?

(Please note: Limiting to one option per superhero character.)

After voting, you may discuss the poll here.
