Summary
- Batman movies have iconic scenes, but some were cringeworthy, like the Batman credit card in Batman & Robin.
- Overly cartoonish Riddler and Mr. Freeze moments in Batman movies detract from their characters' depth.
- Awkward and unsettling scenes like Batman and Batgirl's relationship in The Killing Joke miss the mark with fans.
The Batman movies have a reputation for producing some iconic scenes, but others were particularly painfully uncomfortable to watch. Batman has starred in dozens of movies across the DC Universe in both live-action and animation. While many of these have been celebrated and produced some of the most memorable scenes in cinematic history, some installments proffered baffling moments that many DC fans are desperate to forget about.
Batman is one of DC's biggest heroes and has appeared prominently throughout the DCU timeline and is expected to play a big part in the DCU's future. Batman's animated movies have been equally celebrated as some of the finest comic book movies of all time. Regardless, both in live-action and animation, Batman movies have featured some cringe-worthy scenes that are painfully embarrassing in hindsight.
