12 Dumbest Comic Book Movie Characters

12. Alexander Knox - Batman

Batman Vicki Vale Alex Knox
Warner Bros.

Portrayed by Robert Wuhl, hapless journalist Alexander Knox was a big source of comic relief in Tim Burton€™s first Batman movie. He totally believes in the caped crusader, which actually makes him more intelligent than most people give him credit for. He comes across as a bumbling fool, though.

In particular, he appears pretty dumb when asking questions like €œIs there a six-foot bat in Gotham City? If so, is he on the police payroll? If so, what's he pulling down - after taxes?"

Stupidest moment: Walks into Bruce Wayne€™s arsenal of ancient weaponry and armour €“ doesn€™t clock that he€™s Batman. He doesn€™t even work it out when Bruce tells him he likes his work - loads of which is about Batman - €˜a lot.€™
