10 Things In Batman Movies That Make No Sense

10. Bruce Hangs Upside Down... Like A Bat - Batman (1989)

It's an understatement to say that Tim Burton's Batman movies took liberties with the source material, but even so, the decision to show Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) hanging upside down like a bat in the '89 film - while presumably either working out or sleeping - remains a most peculiar one.

It seems that Burton was trying to imply a more visceral element to Bruce's lifelong association with bats, that he has in a sense "become" a bat, but it ultimately plays more as goofy and weird-for-weird's-sake than actually unsettling.

Though unique character psychology can help flesh out superheroes, in this case it was tough to draw a plausible line of causation between Bruce's fear of bats, Bruce becoming Batman, and Bruce actually acting like a bat, especially as nothing else in the Burton movies supports this pathology.

That's without even considering why Bruce is still wearing his suit trousers while performing the act, but that's a whole other conversation.
