10 Dumbest Deaths In Comic Book Movies

5. Two-Face - Batman Forever

How He Dies

Two-Face bites the big one in Batman Forever thanks to a case of simple confusion.

As he flips his trusty coin to decide whether or not to kill Batman, Robin and Chase Meridian in the film's climax, he's undone when Batman throws a handful of other coins in the air. In one of the most ridiculous deaths in any Batman movie, he comically stumbles, loses his balance and falls to his death.

Why It's Dumb

It's pretty self-explanatory why this one's dumb. Yes, the coin is Two-Face's crutch, but the idea that such a ruthless killer and strategist goes so giddy and basically just launches himself to his doom when he's distracted by some shinies is insultingly stupid.

He's already proven he's not entirely beholden to the coin's power, because he flips it multiple times trying to get it to land on the bad side when deciding whether to shoot Batman earlier. So for him to suddenly realise he can't live without this totem, leading to a fatal prat-fall is entirely dumb.
