Question Of The Day: What ONE Movie Would You Erase From History If You Had A Time Machine (And What Would The Consequences Be)? All things considered, Batman and Robin might well be the worst movie of all time. Recall the visually jarring sets, the giddy, hyperactive performances, the onslaught of never-ending puns (oh, God - the puns!), and there's enough awfulness inherent to every one of its putrid frames to argue a case that nothing - nothing - will ever be quite as bad. Because Batman and Robin, after all, was the movie that turned the Dark Knight into a certified joke - a smarmy, credit card-wielding jerk who cared less about avenging the deaths of his parents and more about partying down. Given its standing as the sequel that drew a close on Batman's cinematic legacy, then, it seems like a no-brainer to wish it had never been made. But then we must consider the consequences - and in doing so, wiping Batman and Robin off the face of the Earth might not be the wisest decision. Had this movie not been made, remember, it's entirely plausible to suggest that whatever would have been made in its place would have been better (it could not have been worse). Which means that, ultimately, the death and eventual rebooting of Batman would likely not have fallen to our god and saviour Christopher Nolan, and what is arguably the best and most accomplished superhero movie trilogy of all time would never have manifested itself. Which is to say: no Heath Ledger as the Joker, people. So maybe it's better to look at Batman and Robin as a sort of sacrifice we all had to make. By sitting through it, and accepting it as reality, we were eventually repaid with the likes of with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Today's question... what movie would you most like to erase from history and then ultimately, what butterfly effect would that cause on the industry and other movies you might enjoy?
