30 Truly Awful Lines That Ruined Comic Book Movies
6. "...I Don't Know." - Superman (1979)
In the original Superman, Pa Kent attempts to explain why he thinks Superman's destiny brought him to Earth - rather than going the Kevin Costner route of emotionally grand-standing and moralising until his son saw exactly what he was supposed to do, old man Kent's response, rather unfortunately, wasn't exactly helpful.
5. "Chicks Love The Car"! - Batman Forever
Batman the flirt. Awful. To be honest, the entire exchange between Chase and Batman, where the caped crusader is reduced to a coy, flirtatious debutante from a background scene in Gone With The Wind, is mind-numbingly stupid... Dr. Chase Meridian: Last night at the bank I noticed something about Two-Face. His coin. It's his Achilles' heel. It can be exploited. Batman: I know. You called me here for this? The Batsignal is not a beeper. Dr. Chase Meridian: Well I wish I could say that my interest in you was... purely professional. Batman: You trying to get under my cape, doctor? Dr. Chase Meridian: A girl can't live by psychoses alone. Batman: It's the car, right? Chicks love the car. Dr. Chase Meridian: What is it about the wrong kind of man? In grade school it was boys with earrings, high school; motorcycles; college, leather jackets. Now... Dr. Chase Meridian: *Ah*. Black rubber. Batman: Try firemen, less to take off. All of the banter between the Bat and Chase, who amounts to little more than a reduced narrative device, and a rather limited portrait of the female identity, is awkward, to be honest.
