Some actors have won Oscars, some have played DC characters. These actors did both. Here are all the Oscar winners who have played DC heroes.

While some DC films have been hits and others have been flops, there’s no denying that the actors behind them are talented! In fact, a number of them are Oscar winners.

Christian Bale (Batman)

He was also nominated for Best Actor in american unrest, Best Supporting Actor in The big court and Best Actor in Vice.

Halle Berry (Catwoman)

Halle Berry played Patience Phillips and Catwoman in the 2004 edition of catwoman but it may be a role she prefers to forget. While she did her best to portray a fashion designer who was murdered and resurrected as a mutant cat, the film performed so poorly that it earned her a Razzie. Most actors don’t usually show up for the Worst Actor award, but Halle proudly took to the podium to accept it. “My mom told me if you can’t be a good loser, you can’t be a good winner,” she said at the time. She also, ironically, held her Oscar during her acceptance speech. She won Best Actress for the 2001 film Ball Monster and to this day, is still the only black actress to win the award.

George Clooney (Batman)

He shaded the film, saying it had a bad script, but eventually learned to accept the relentless teasing that came for his role in the film. When asked about flash, he revealed that the franchise never asked him to return. “When you destroy a franchise like I did, they usually look away when ‘The Flash’ comes along,” he joked, speaking to Variety.

He won Best Supporting Actor for Syriac and received nominations for Michael Clayton, Up in the air and The descendants.

Anne Hathaway (Catwoman)

Anne Hathaway joins Christian Bale in The black Knight trilogy as the traditional Selina Kyle version of Catwoman. Unlike Halle’s portrayal of the role, Anne’s Catwoman received far more praise from audiences and critics. Catwoman is just one of Anne’s many successful roles. In fact, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing Fantine in Wretched and was nominated for the 2009 Film Award Rachel is getting married.

Ben Affleck (Batman)

Apart by Robert Pattinson The Batman, Ben Affleck was the last actor to don the Batsuit for the 2016 film Batman versus Superman. Her performance was polarizing as it split the audience in two.
