10 Terrible Things Everyone Forgets About Beloved Movie Characters

Michael Keaton's era of Batman is downright legendary at this point, a cultural milestone for the comic book reading community in how it changed the whole ballgame, like the original Superman before it. However, it kinda missed the mark on one aspect of Batman, and unfortunately, it's a pretty big one.

The reason Batman hasn't put down psychos like the Joker yet (despite admitting that nothing would make him happier) is because he knows how on the edge he is to becoming like the monsters he fights, and if he were to ever take a life, he'd never come back from that moral abyss.

Meanwhile Keaton's Batman throws someone off the top of a belfry. And that's just in the first movie, as the second Tim Burton Batman movie has him murdering at least three people in cold blood in the opening act alone. And very clearly taking glee in the ultra violence, if Keaton's face during these proceedings are anything to go by.

This isn't even a matter of the plausible impossible, he throws a dude down a belltower and we don't see him grab onto anything on his way down. And the way he dispatches goons in Returns leaves no ambiguity as to their mortality.
