25 WTF Moments From Batman Forever
2. Batman Kills Two-Face... With Coins
People love to complain nowadays about Bane's abrupt death in The Dark Knight Rises, but he's got nothing on the hilariously terrible demise of Two-Face in Batman Forever. Two-Face flips his trusty coin to decide whether or not to kill Bats, Robin and Chase, but as he does so, Batman throws a bunch of other coins at him, causing Two-Face to get confused, lose track of his true coin, and fall to his death as he fumbles around and loses balance. It's easily the dumbest death of a major villain in any Batman movie, and more to the point, has Batman unashamedly causing someone's death despite the well-known no-kill policy the character has. Batman may not have shot him in head or thrown him off a cliff, but he damn sure brought about the circumstances which caused Two-Face's death. With respect though, this is also a basic aspect of the character that even Christopher Nolan's movies have failed to respect, with him causing the deaths of both Ra's al Ghul and Two-Face in the Dark Knight trilogy.
