25 WTF Moments From Batman Forever

17. Harvey Dent's Transformation Is Captured With Cinematic Camera Angles

Bruce manages to catch footage on "GNN" of the incident when Boss Maroni threw acid in Harvey Dent's face at a court hearing, transforming him into Two-Face. That's all well and good, but did Joel Schumacher really need to insult the audience so much by showing clips that were clearly too cinematic to have ever been recorded by court photography? It may be a minor nitpick in the grand scheme of things, but overall it's just showing a blatant lack of respect for the viewer's intelligence. Perhaps the scene was originally supposed to be in the movie proper, but either way, it's extremely lazy and cynical to just assume that audiences would swallow this down.
