I’m talking about a moment when a villain has the hero at their mercy and then does a move to really show what an utter bastard they are. There’s no shortage of them, but one that really sticks out to me is one line from “Se7en” at the climax from Kevin Spacey as John Doe.

“Oh…he didn’t know.”

Anyone who’s seen “Se7en” will know exactly what I mean. As brutal as that film’s outcome is, that just makes it all the worse.

What’s your worst?

    I alwaysbinterpreted that scene differently, that batman knew what the joker was doing and made the decision himself to save Harvey, because he thought Harvey was that important for Gotham, more so than batman personal feelings for his girlfriend
