12 Movie Moments That Pissed Fanboys Off The Most In 2016

7. Barbara Bangs The Bat - Batman: The Killing Joke

What a disappointment the animated adaptation of Alan Moore's The Killing Joke was, and no single scene riled the fans up more than the shoehorned tryst between Barbara Gordon and Batman.

After the two argue, Barb manages to pin him down and soon enough starts making out with him. Batman grabs her butt and she takes off her shirt as the scene cuts away, but the implication is clear.

It's so unnecessary and feels like a lazy attempt to justify the R-rating (even though there's no nudity). Plus, Batman's so close to Jim Gordon he'd never do the dirty on his daughter, and the scene also results in Barb subsequently moping around like a lovesick teenager (which is appropriate, given how young she is).

The whole thing is so icky and pointless. What a waste of a fantastic opportunity to adapt one of the best Batman comics ever written.
