Missed Opportunities:Batman.

There's been loads of missed opportunities for many pretty actresses performing in films or tv shows, that their characters could have been kidnapped by the baddies, then bound and gagged, then rescued by the hero. 

The 1989 film: Batman, was certainly one of them. I can still remember going to see it at the pics, and I did think it was really good. The film certainly had an excellent cast:Michael Keaton,Jack Nicholson, the late Jack Palance and Kim Basinger. The film's full of action, but it's Jack Nicholson's film. He played the Joker and there is a scene where he kidnaps Kim Basinger,but Kim didn't perform any scenes where she's bound and gagged. I personally don't think she ever did one in her acting career. I also wished there had been something for Jerry Hall,who played Jack Palance's girlfriend, but was actually having an affair with Jack Nicholson's character. The best that was offered, was only a quick handgag scene for Kim Basinger. Simply not good enough, and although the film was very enjoyable, it was still yet,another missed opportunity. Indeed, in the fairly recent Batman films:Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, I failed to spot one pretty actress bound and gagged in any of them.Maddeningly,they showed blokes. I bloody hate that. 

What a waste.

Even so, Jack Nicholson was simply sublime in the film.He really is a fantastic actor, and it's hard to believe that Michael Keaton,Kim Basinger and Jack are in their 70's now.I've posted a couple of my favourite scenes here from the film.
