-- Ra's Al Ghul and Talia in Batman The Animated Series is very much Neal Adams' and Denny O'Neill's character from the original stories they appeared in.
-- Darkseid and the New Gods in Superman TAS is Jack Kirby's vision come to life.
-- Venom in The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon by Greg Weisman is the closest to the original conception by David Michelinie and Tom DeFalco.
-- Green Goblin in The Spectacular Spider-Man is the most accurate to the original Lee-Ditko version than anything that came after.
-- Vincent D'Onofrio really captured the Kingpin from Miller's and Bendis' runs in the Netflix TV show.
-- Jon Bernthal absolutely is Frank Castle.
-- Chris Evans is Captain America. I can totally imagine him as the Cap of Born Again, of Roger Stern, of JMS' Doomed Affairs And Civil War tie-ins. He absolutely is "loyal to nothing, general...but the dream".
-- Jackie Earle Haley is Rorschach.
-- Donald Duck in the 2017 Ducktales cartoons is the closest we have come to Carl Barks' version of the character.
