When it comes down to it, well-written superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man are hard roles for an actor to play, because of the dual identity. The actor not only has to be convincing as both, but he also has to convey the deep psychic damage that someone must have in order to be able to voluntarily lose their identity within another invented one, and then convincingly perform the inevitable scene where they get discovered. Any character playing another character is probably the most challenging nuance for any actor to have to show, which is why the role that is generally considered the toughest of any players' repertoire is Hamlet.
