“He doesn’t understand sarcasm”: Christopher Nolan Had a Lame Comeback Line For Christian Bale’s Batman and DC Fans Can’t Overlook It

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy is considered one of the best Batman movies of all time. From its execution to the cinematic scenes and well-built characters, the movie not only perfectly captures the true essence of Batman but also gives a befitting end to the whole tale.

Yet, no matter how grand and successful a picture is, there is bound to be one or more blunders. And so is with Nolan’s Batman saga, where one particular dialogue is such a cringefest that DC fans just cannot let it go.

The Lamest Dialogue from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises

Christopher Nolan is needless to say a brilliant filmmaker whose ability to craft complex and thought-provoking stories is unparalleled. And The Dark Knight trilogy is a perfect testament to his talent to make brilliant features across different genres.

While all three movies of his are well-revered, the last film The Dark Knight Rises provided a well-executed ending to the whole saga. Consisting of several memorable moments and dialogues, the film surpasses the other movies in terms of emotional depth and action sequences.

However, despite its breathtaking scenes, the movie has one of the lamest dialogues of the entire saga. At the end of the movie, as Gotham citizens are fighting the hooligans and criminals on the streets, Batman appears.

The movie’s antagonist, Bane upon seeing him for the first time since their iconic brawl, states,

“So you came back to die with your city.”

And Batman responds with the worst ever one-liner known to man.

“No…. I came back to stop you.”

The pause and Batman’s hesitance make the comeback 10x worse. The fake and unserious fighting going on in the background is no help and makes the scene even more comical than it already is.

Fans React to The Dark Knight Rises’  Lamest Dialogue

There are a plethora of possible comebacks that Christian Bale‘s Batman could have gotten instead of what ultimately made it to the final cut in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. As is evident in the comments of this YouTube video, fans had some amazing responses that Nolan could have used instead since Batman is supposed to be one of the smartest characters in the DC mythos.
