2. Batman's Disappearing Eye Makeup - Batman Returns

Warner Bros.

At the end of Batman Returns, the Dark Knight (Michael Keaton) shows up to stop Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) from killing the villainous Max Shreck (Christopher Walken).

At first, he appears to be kitted out in his typical Batman garb, but mere moments before he removes his cowl and reveals his true identity to Selina Kyle, the black makeup surrounding his eyes magically disappears.

Presumably this was because director Tim Burton didn't want to have Bruce Wayne trying to hold a serious conversation with Selina while sporting a pair of panda eyes, but honestly it probably would've looked pretty creepy.

Certainly less distracting than the makeup just disappearing out of nowhere, at least.
