It's unnerving and makes it nearly impossible to get into the story when the characters vary from one story to the next. Having said this, (not out of respect for his death, but because he embodied the Joker so supremely and due to his death, no one else can ever play the Joker. That character in every facet has been (pardon my terms) "laid to rest." It makes more sense to change directors -at least someone better at conveying the "vision" and bringing out in an actor what they are searching for. Which is why it's vital for them to do their homework and have the best cast possible from the start . The right director can make up for a lot of what an actor isn't (fortunately and unfortunately). Sometimes, you can have an amazing actor and if the director sucks, all the best acting in the world won't make much of a difference. The only time I feel it's appropriate to change actors is when the next generation of films begin. Superman (unfortunately) is a prime example of it all having gone wrong, though. That was just a complete disaster all the way around. I wasn't a big fan of the choices in character changes they made. "Clark" wasn't too bad, but for the most part, that movie was a major let-down in every other way -from casting to costume re-designing. The only actor that I felt was actually cast well was Frank Langella ("Perry White"). So, I say they should stick with what they've got already. The first 2 were great, but what do I know? I'm just a chick who likes comics.

Nobody thinks of Daredevil fondly and after Spidey 3 (despite how much bank it made) they need to let Raimi do his thing and look forward and not back. Chiklis is too small and also already The Thing. Not sure who could play Kingpin, but not those two. I'm also indifferent to Kirsten Dunst. She's obviously not the ideal MJ, wah, wah, but it's not a deal breaker as long as the movie is up to the standards of the first two. Clark Duncan shouldn't reprise his role.
