10 Shots That Completely Killed The Magic Of Cinema

6. Batman Deception

Batman (1966)

The pleasure of the Batman and Robin Scale The Building shot in Batman shows and the original film was knowing that they were really just walking sideways along a manufactured set (and not a particularly convincing one at that) - it was a wink-nudge sequence that added to the simple camp entertainment of the show, and crucially it never needed confirmation.

So seeing confirmation - even of something we already knew - takes away that magical little bond between the audience and the film-makers. We're all in on the joke, but its impact requires everyone to keep schtum.
