Should have been Elecktra

I do so hate that Hollywood decides to do the superhero movies and feel like they have to go with big named stars in lieu of being true to the look and feel of the original characters.
I've said it before I'll say it again. The Elecktra role should have gone to Alexa Davalos. She looks so much like the comic book Elecktra and Dare Devil obviously should have been Brad Pitt. Yes I know, big named star, but geeze he was the perfect choice. Ok /end rant.

Now we all know how Hollywood is...Younger woman, and who cares how old the man is. So long as she didn't LOOK like she was a teenager and she doesn't, I think it would have been nice.
Hell we've seen Jack Nicholson date women 3 times less than his age in movies. Brad is still hunky at 42, so a 20 year age difference wouldn't have been a big stretch.
