A lot of movies thought to be the worst movies have been rehabilitated by fans over time. The Star Wars prequel films are probably the most obvious examples. Starship Troopers was panned by critics and lost money when it opened, only to be hailed years later as Paul Verhoeven’s subversive masterpiece. Ang Lee’s The Hulk seems to have been embraced by movie critics who don’t like superhero movies.

One film that seems to never escape the Bad Movie dungeon is freaking Batman & Robin. Despite some bold attempts by the likes of Comics Alliance’s Chris Sims — who watched all the Burton/Schumacher movies and declared B&R “the best of the four we’ve watched” — the film is not recognized at large by audiences as a hidden masterpiece.

And yet… the film has moments. Even those like myself who have fallen asleep trying to watch this movie on multiple occasions will admit that there is something pretty good when George Clooney’s Bruce Wayne and the Michael Gough’s Alfred Pennyworth share the screen. Alfred is suffering from Macgregor’s Disease, and it seems that he’s on his deathbed.

In what looks like their final goodbyes, Alfred drops one last piece of advice to Bruce.

”There is no defeat in death, Master Bruce. Victory comes in defending what we know is right while we still live.”

Bruce then flashes back to when he was a child, and Alfred is by his bed reading bedtime stories. After which Bruce says, “I love you, old man.”

It is a scene that deserved a better movie.

Today’s bonus prompt: what individual scenes deserved a better movie around it?
