Anything involving Pat Hingle.
Going a bit off topic into movie, but he simply isn't Jim Gordon in the Batman films. Straight up. Does not fit in any way. I don't look at him and see Gordon. I see Hingle. And I don't like Hingle.
That stems morstly from his Murder She Wrote appearances, where I always find him to be the weak link in the guest cast. (To somewhat bring it back on topic).
Contrast that to i.e. J Jonah Jameson in the Tobie McGuire Spider Man movies. I was absolutely floored to see how they managed to get somebody who fit they look, attitude and mannerisms of what was pretty much a relatively low-screen-time side-character.
Actually in general I'd say the casting choices for the first two movies contributed very strongly to their success. So many of them just fit.
