List of actors who have played comic book characters

This is virtually the definition of trivia. These actors only have one thing in common which is having played a character that originated in a different medium. Can you imagine List of actors who have played novel characters? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:55, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete totally trivial. The definition might be on the fuzzy side too. Some characters did exist as comic book ones, but may have other potential roots. Others may be in a movie like say "Batman" or "Superman", but if the specific character is not found in a comic book they would be excluded. Although this is a list, and can deal with such, it is still trivial.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This list is not what it says it is. For example, Ben Affleck has played both Batman and Daredevil. This list makes it hard to realize this. It really is "List of comic book roles that have been portrayed in live-action television and film".John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:57, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There is no distinguishing between important roles and minor cameos. See the entries on Willie Lumpkin (a Stan Lee cameo in Fantastic Four) and Nighthawk (who is never identified as such in All Hail the King). Argento Surfer (talk) 13:49, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
