8 Actors Who Were Sadly Wasted In DC Movies

As our previous lists of actors who were wasted in Marvel and X-Men movies proved, just because the comic book genre attracts some of the biggest names in Hollywood nowadays, it does not mean that they are used particularly well. In fact, we often see famous faces stuck in minor roles with the actors seemingly having signed on just to say they were in the film.

An iconic part of Superman mythology he may be, it has to be said that Perry White isn’t the most dramatic part for an actor to play. He’s a safe second place when it comes to comic book newspaper editors (behind J. Jonah Jameson, of course). Naturally, then, Laurence Fishburne is routinely wasted in the role of Perry in the DC Extended Universe.

Though Man of Steel gave him a couple of strong moments, he got even less to do in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Fishburne does the best with what he’s given in the role, but mostly it’s just a shame to see an actor of his talents being sidelined as much as he is. Presumably, he’ll will stick around the DCEU for a while, but with Superman currently out the picture, it doesn’t seem likely he’ll get much more time in the spotlight.
