10 Insanely Dark Batman Moments That'll Never Make It To Film
7. Breaking The Joker's Neck
Batman was always a little on the unhinged side, but he went full psychopath in his old age in Frank Miller's seminal graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns.
Durning one of his bloodier battles with the Joker, an aged Caped Crusader takes the Clown Prince's eye out with a Batarang before snapping his neck like a dry branch.
No doubt the brutal scraps between Bats and his arch nemesis are set to continue in cinema across the ages, but will we ever see the Hero Gotham Deserves perform a neckbreaker on Mister J? Don't count on it.
Although a direct adaptation of the Dark Knight Returns would be a fantastic basis for a future Batman movie, it's dark scenes like this that make it unlikely to ever happen.
