30 Truly Awful Lines That Ruined Comic Book Movies
8. Lois' Entire Poem - Superman (1979)
Seemingly testing out Superman's ability to read minds, as well as declaring her undying and worryingly sudden infatuation with him, Lois recites a poem off the top of her head to enthrall and delight him. Sadly, the writers of the script clearly had no poetic training, and simply borrowed the empty sentiments of teenage waste-basket fodder to drive a hugely important scene. The result requires a new definition of cringe-worthy, which is definitely not helped by Margot Kidder's horrendous line delivery.
7. "I'm not going to kill you... but I don't have to save you." - Batman Begins
It's not a particularly bad line, again, but sometimes the lack of subtlety in such an important moment is as notable a crime as writing a garbage piece of dialogue. This retort from Batman to Ra's Al Ghul as the train they're on hurtles towards certain death is just horrendously on the nose, as well as being somewhat questionable in the wider context of the character over the trilogy.
