We’re sure you don’t need us to tell you of why Batman & Robin is so bad that it’s gone down as the most infamous superhero film in history. A far cry from the gothic stylings of 1989’s Batman or the gritty realism of the following Batman Begins, B&R clearly only existed to sell toys – hence the lame, pun-filled script.

Some actual drama did manage to make its way through the mincer, however, in a small scene between Bruce and Alfred. It sees a downhearted Bruce talk to Alfred about the futility of his actions as Batman, and why he became the character in the first place.

In this scene alone, George Clooney is actually a very good Bruce Wayne and Michael Gough, a rock throughout the four original Batman films, gets something to work with as Alfred for a change.

Honestly, we’ve still got no idea how this touching, sombre scene exists in such a gaudy, OTT movie.
