Help: Dumbest Batman Movie Moments

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Batman- After Batman's stunt and air show with the Batwing, he decides its time to take out the Joker with a ****load of missiles. After taking his supposed advanced technology and putting the bulls eye right on the Joker's face, he completely misses. The the Joker takes out a gun that could not have possibly been in his pants as he climbed down the big cake, shoots down the seemingly armor-less Batwing with one perfect shot.

Bruce should have really checked the specs on that damn thing if one bullet could take the whole thing down and his targeting system was Stormtrooper level.

I don't think it was meant to be a normal bullet. The gun was supposed to be more like a 'cannon', which is basically a souped up gun, like the Joker's one, so more of an explosive shell there.

You are right about the walking down the cake thing, but if you want to no-prize that, you could say the gun was telescopic, maybe, lol.

It was, he collapses it later as he and Vicki are walking up the Cathedral stairwell.

Then that means he pulled it out of his pants, extended the barrel, then put it back into his pants, then took it out again.

Batman Forever - Wayne Manor is supposedly miles away from Gotham City but yet somehow kids who are out trick-or-treating are able to find it.

the unnecesary cameos by EnVogue, Don "The Dragon" Wilson in BF and Coolio in B&R and waste of using Elle McPherson and Victoria Silvesdte (sp)?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Batman and Robin- the "homage" to A Clockwork Orange.

 

[Ipodman]

-Scarecrow riding the horse screaming like a girl after getting bested by Rachel
-The mask taking off/makeup part from BR
-Penguins with missiles,I think that was suppose to be a stupid tension breaker moment
-Vicki Vale asking which car is Batman's
-Vicki not being shocked at all that Bruce is Batman,she acts as if she saw it coming
-Two Face not going after Joker,I just can't buy into it since he knows
that he had something to do with him getting disfigured and Rachel being blown up to pieces
-Batman smiling in BF
-Pretty much all of B&R
-Batman going straight ahead towards Joker after he sees him pulling out the long gun
-Bat credit card B&R
-Bat skates B&R
-Robin pretending to be Batman BF
-The Batmobile driving up a wall with the help of a grappling hook BF

Yea scarecrow was a wimp.... should have made him alil more powerful in that scene

The whole bullet/fingerprint scene in TDK was actually pretty cool if a bit far fetched but why bother going through all those random machine gun tests, right?

That was a unnecessary scene that didn't make any sense at all.

The detective work in Batman Begins made much more sense although it was kind of brief.

Batman Returns - "eat floor, high fiber" oh yeah good comeback right there Batman.

Batman may be grim and dark but he's not a EMO loser, Batman has thrown few one-liners even in the darker comic books.

I will say that the one-liners in the Schumaker films were horrible, I mean one-liners like "I'll take drive-thru" and "chicks dig the car" etc.

If you listen, there is a 'bang' noise like a gunshot, accompanied by a shower of sparks coming from his mechanism, it shorts out as he is rushing it, and it gives out under the strain, he is actually knocked off the van by being hit by the pillar, he does not jump.

What that moment is about is to show Batman apparently putting all his effort into one last ditch chance to get the SC, and it failing. But, then he dusts himself off, quickly sizes up the situation and goes for the 'Bat-drop', and manages to get his prey after all, it's about him never giving up, and finding a way. That's why it's such a cool moment to show the fake Batman looking on in gape-mouthed awe at, instead of just at him punching a thug or something.
It's one of my favourite moments from any of the films, for that reason.

Oh yeah the drop in is so badass, especially with that sound effect. That was something that was definitely very BATMAN and it was more than welcome.

-Vicki not being shocked at all that Bruce is Batman,she acts as if she saw it coming

We don't even get to see her reaction to the reveal, because her unguarded reaction in the moment she finds out is the one that matters dramatically, in regards to the way you mean. What we do get to see is her coming into the cave, having had time to compose herself, so it's a very flat reaction, and scene, and part of the reason why it's the worst secret ID reveal in superhero movie history.

-Two Face not going after Joker,I just can't buy into it since he knows

Em, Harvey has a gun at the Joker's head and flips a coin to decide whether or not to kill him, just as he does with all the people he thought were connected to her death.
That the Joker gives Harvey the gun, and allows him to point it to his head, gives Harvey a reason to doubt his direct involvement as he claims, hence the 'Joker's just a mad dog' line later on.

Batman Forever - Wayne Manor is supposedly miles away from Gotham City but yet somehow kids who are out trick-or-treating are able to find it.

If you want to no-prize that it pretty easy though, a lot of parents escort their kids when they trick or treat, it wouldn't be outlandish for them to take a leisurely drive up to Wayne Manor, where known charitable millionare BW would traditionally have a good haul waiting for the kids, dished out by Alfred.

to all your post. Even so, I saw Vicki pretty disturbed when she came into the bat-cave.

Batman and Robin has tons. The one that stands out the most for me was when Robin wanted his own "sky signal".

It doesn't have tons, the whole movie is a dumb Batman movie moment, except for the scenes with Alfred.

How about when Robin smashed through the wall of the museum on his motorcycle, making a perfect cutout of the symbol on his costume?

Two-Face being a campy watered-down Joker rip-off in Batman Forever is the most dumbest and comic-inaccurate moment.

Two-Face was always a psychologically dark/tragic villain in the comics, he was dark even in the 1950's campy days.

In fact after few 50's appearances, Two-Face stopped appearing in the comics for awhile (possibly due to being deemed too grotesque/dark) until the character returned in 1971's Batman #234 "Half an Evil" by writer Denny O'Neil and artist Neal Adams.

Later his origins got revamped into more detail in the 90's Batman Annual issue and The Long Halloween but they still kept Sal Moroni as the culprit throwing acid in court as it was in the older comics but details were added like how the acid got there, more time given to Dent agonizing in pain which effects the reader a lot more and instead of Batman trying to save him in the court, they had him present as Bruce Wayne.

Having Mr. Freeze smoke cigars was a stupid idea which was probably on Arnold's behalf because he smokes them.

I wasn't too thrilled with Pat Hingle's performance as Gordon, he seemed rather clueless and never helped out Batman, not to mention he never dressed as the Commissioner from the comics, in Batman he would wear some type of police uniform and in BR he would sport a derby hat as if he were stuck in the 40's.

But his worst was in Batman & Robin in which he could easily pass off as an ordinary cop like Chief O'Hara from the 60's Batman.

Well, the killing Batman in Tim Burton's films is based on the 1939/1940 Batman comics, Gordon never helped Batman in those comics and had a smaller role plus he was illustrated a bit chubby.

As for being stuck in the 40's, Tim Burton's Batman films have a timeless 40's setting like BTAS.

 

[union_jak]

Everything about the mise-en-scene of the Burton movies suggested it had a 40s feel about it, excluding Batman. It was deliberately anachronistic, along with the cartoon, to make Batman and his expensive technology look more advanced in comparison.

How did the Joker get all the explosives in the hospital in less than an hour without anyone noticing? Same with the boats.

He's got quite enough henchmen to do the job.

Alfred wasn't a major character in that era either. He wasn't even introduced until 1943. Same with the Batcave. Not everything from Burton's movies was based on the 1939/1940 era.

Gordon was a non entity in the Burton movies. He never developed ANY kind of relationship with Batman. In fact Gordon had about 10 seconds of screen time with Batman in the Burton movies, and that was when he thanked him for stopping the circus gang.

How did the Joker get all the explosives in the hospital in less than an hour without anyone noticing? Same with the boats.

Who said he did that within the hour? He knew Gotham wouldn't just bow down to his rule, and there'd be an evacuation because of his threat. "Those of you who don't want to be in the game, get out now". So he obviously booby trapped the obvious modes of transport they'd use to evacuate the City with.

As for the hospital, since he intended to go and visit Harvey Dent there anyway, he obviously intended to blow it up afterward, because he also took the hospital staff as hostages for his final set up in the Prewitt building. Not to mention he's got the City in his pocket at this point.

All of this was planned in advance because it was his big final scheme to push Gotham, and it's White Knight, over the edge.

Impossible to do without being noticed. Normally I wouldn't care but this is supposed to be "realistic".
