<p>In this <em>Moving Panels One Shot</em>, Laramy and Nicholas dive into one of the most debated topics in comic book movie fandom: are some films judged harshly because they’re genuinely bad, or because a single performance throws everything off balance? From great actors trapped in messy movies to questionable choices in otherwise solid films, we explore what truly makes a performance “bad” — and whether it’s always the actor’s fault. We take an in-depth look at Brandon Routh in <em>Superman Returns</em>, Margot Robbie in <em>Suicide Squad</em>, Jamie Foxx in <em>The Amazing Spider-Man 2</em>, Tom Hardy in <em>Venom</em>, and Katie Holmes in <em>Batman Begins</em>, and we even give some love to Nicolas Cage and his unforgettable contributions to the genre. Join us for a fun and thoughtful discussion about the strange alchemy of performances, tone, and storytelling in comic book adaptations.</p>
