30 Truly Awful Lines That Ruined Comic Book Movies
22. "When it rains..." - Daredevil
"When it rains, it's like there's a rooftop on the world. Each raindrop makes a sound the first time it falls on a surface. Just then, it's like I... it's like I can see again. And I... I just wanna... I just wanna see you." Paging Dr Cheese, you're wanted on the rooftops.
21. "So that's what that feels like!" - The Dark Knight Rises
The moments of humour in Nolan's Batman trilogy range from being odd to being outright infuriating, like this little beat, which does nothing apart from reinforce how far away from a comic book movie the tonal landscape makes Rises. It is also illogical - why would Batman acknowledge one of his iconic quirks? To do so is reductive and damaging, and the moment sacrifices the tone for one short-lived moment of comedy that barely raises a smile. And then of course there's the issue of the delivery. Why the Batman growl when he's on his own?
