28 WTF Moments From Batman & Robin

18. This Is Bane!?

One of the biggest issues with Batman and Robin is the depiction of Bane, one of Batman's smartest and toughest enemies who is reduced here to being a near-mute, dumb comedy sidekick. Also, the movie went the wildly over-the-top route when it came to his transformation: he starts off as a twig-thin criminal selected to test Dr. Jason Woodrue's (John Glover) super-soldier serum known as Venom, resulting in a preposterous sequence where the man's body size changes in mere seconds. In fairness, the comically exaggerated look of the character is probably the least of the movie's problems: had the depiction been otherwise good, it would've been nothing to worry about.
