Spacey would be very good. I'd want to see the performance adjusted a little because James Bond is a more dark and grown-up genre (in this incarnation, anyway) than Superman and needs a darker, drier villain.

You know what James Bond REALLY needs in the villain department? Here, I'll tell you what James Bond really needs. He needs a Rene Belloq, someone who brilliantly psychoanalyzes and subtly influences everyone he talks to. (http://mkfreeberg.webloggin.com/non-intimidating-movie-villains/, jump halfway down the page.)

Bad-guy-against-bad-guy intellectual conflict is always fascinating. Going all the way back to the Connery days, Bond movies have used this to great success, but sparingly (except in CR and FRWL -- two of the very best).

We need to see a whole lot more of that.
