While he might not be a bad choice i think he's too affiliated with Superman which mostly eliminates him from even being considered for the James Bond role.
i think that stuff above likely keeps him out of the conversation regardless of whether he could play the Bond role well or not.
p.s. i liked him in The Man from UNCLE/Man of Steel as both within my Top 247 movies and Man of Steel would be my #1 super hero movie at this point.

I would say that goes to George Lazenby overall.
main reason i say that is because his overall presence never excelled at being suave or tough as Lazenby was just okay-ish at both (i.e. like not bad, but not really good either) where as the rest of the Bond actors did at least one of those two things well.
even looking at Dalton... i think he had the tough angle down pretty well and, while not as obviously suave as say Connery or Brosnan(as they naturally give off that suave vibe), he could do it okay enough when needed here and there.
but with that said... i think on a mainstream level that Dalton's Bond movies seem to fly off the radar as i doubt they are as popular to the casual Bond movie fan as much as say Connery/Moore/Brosnan and probably Craig to. so i am not surprised to see some negative comments towards Dalton (NOTE: personally i think his Licence to Kill (1989) (8/10) is my #3 Bond movie of ALL of the Bond movies).
p.s. for the record... i like Lazenby's only Bond movie.
