Alec Baldwin and Ian McKellen star in "The Shadow," a 1994 superhero film flop

Alec Baldwin's 1994 superhero film "The Shadow" was a critical and commercial failure. The movie, inspired by Tim Burton's "Batman," featured a star-studded cast including Ian McKellen and Tim Curry, but failed to impress audiences or critics. Despite its stylish production and attempts to capture a pulp noir atmosphere, "The Shadow" was overshadowed by other superhero adaptations of the era.
