4. Alfred
Perhaps its because most of his co-stars gave such poor performances, but Michael Goughs performance stands out as actually being rather good. Even in the comparably light-hearted Schumacher take on Batman and Robin, the fact that Alfred was dying was a legitimately concerning plot point. Michael Gough made me care about Alfred in a way that none of the other actors made me care about their characters. I was very upset about the possibility of him dying because he was such a crucial part of the series and a redeeming quality of the movie. Without him, everything would be so much worse for both Bruce Wayne and for the viewer. While it was a bit lame that he got saved by Mr. Freezes medicine that looked more like the contents of a glow stick, I was not nearly as annoyed as I should have been, as it meant Alfred got to stick around. Michael Goughs performance was a bright spot in the movie, and all the more impressive that he managed to pull out this great, comparatively subtle performance with such an over-the-top director.
