15 Creepiest Scenes In Comic Book Movie History

3. Batman & Batgirl Sex Scene - Batman: The Killing Joke

People got really, really mad about the wildly unnecessary prologue added onto last year's animated adaptation of Alan Moore's iconic graphic novel, which featured a random, deeply uncomfortable sex scene between Batman and Batgirl herself, Barbara Gordon.

The scene begins with Batman giving Barbara a telling off for her cavalier attitude to fighting crime, and after initially getting mad at him, she suddenly changes her demeanour and, before you know it, the pair are banging on top of a building while a stone gargoyle pervs over them (really).

At best it's lazy fan-service and at worst it mutates the familial bond these two characters had into a sexual relationship with a deeply troubling power dynamic. Everything from conception to execution is skin-crawlingly letchy and awful here.
