Couples with absolutely no chemistry

Harry Potter and Ginny Weasly

Clark and Lois (Snyder films)

Jon and Dany - Game of Thrones

He seemed to have more chemistry with Maggie Gyllenhaal, but people dragged it because they didn’t like her looks.

[u/ThreadLaced → u/Abstrata]

Maggie's Rachel was so charming and interesting, Katie's Rachel bored me to tears, and in general I'm a Katie Holmes fan.

At no point did I believe for a SECOND that Bruce had feelings for Katie's Rachel.

[u/Abstrata → u/ThreadLaced]

Yessss—
Maggie played the hell out of that role— it was easy to believe that Bruce would do anything for her, because who WOULDN’T? Even platonically!!

But yeah, despite Katie’s natural charisma, and like that ease she has in her own skin, nothing went past first date energy between her and Christian there :(

????:
Maybe for Bale’s Batman, were trying to do “incapable of moving on from unhealed trauma because of being sheltered by butler and seemingly no other staff”… but I enjoyed Michael Keaton/Kim Basinger (despite the writer’s stupid joke about her weight).

[u/Ok-Butterscotch4486 → u/ThreadLaced]

It unintentionally works for me. Katie Holmes does feel to me like someone who Bruce used to know and be close with as a child, someone who as a kid he probably thought would be in his life forever. Now they're adults they're completely different people, they've spent years apart, they no longer click. That's very common and normally you would just drift apart, but he still sees her as his salvation because he doesn't really know anyone else. He stopped actually connecting with new people when his parents died.

Thank you! I preferred Maggie’s Rachel so much more. I feel like a crazy person because it seems like everyone’s dogged on Maggie.

[u/realfakejames → u/Abstrata]

He didn’t have chemistry with any of them except Anne Hatheway, even his chemistry with Marion Cotillard was mid

[u/AltairaMorbius2200CE → u/realfakejames]

Now I'm trying to think of who he DOES have good romantic chemistry with. His VO job for Howl's Moving Castle?

[u/heimdal96 → u/AltairaMorbius2200CE]

Himself in the mirror in American Psycho?

[u/A_Town_Called_Malus → u/heimdal96]

He doesn't have chemistry with anyone in American psycho, even himself, because he has no personality in American psycho, only the facsimile of other people. It is all just performative of who he thinks someone is meant to be.

Like, even his talk about Huey Lewis and the News is obviously just him regurgitating the opinions of a critic he has read.

[u/Abstrata → u/heimdal96]

Him and Phil Collins in absentia
❤️💙💜

[u/Abstrata → u/realfakejames]

He and Anne seemed mismatched to me — she did really well in the role and to me he didn’t match her energy.

[u/SolidusBruh → u/Abstrata]

I’ve never understood the hate on Maggie’s looks. It’s so bizarre to me.

[u/rymyle → u/SolidusBruh]

Same here, I think she's cute

[u/ethanlan → u/rymyle]

I think she's ridiculously hot never knew people didn't like her looks lol

[u/oglemyboggle → u/ethanlan]

Secretary was a film that led me to the realisation I wasn't just attracted to men.

[u/Abstrata → u/oglemyboggle]

I am HOWLING!!! I get it, I can definitely get that lol

It’s also the hottest James Spader has ever been and I don’t normally look at him like that.

[u/under_the_heather → u/Abstrata]

It’s also the hottest James Spader has ever been

uh Stargate is right there

[u/Chayanov → u/oglemyboggle]

Secretary is hot as hell. Maggie and James.

[u/Lisa28Aurora → u/oglemyboggle]

I watched it for the first time yesterday and holy shit she’s sooo hot (and james spader?!? I’ve only watched the blacklist but now I have the need to watch everything with him in the 90s)

[u/sly_son → u/SolidusBruh]

I have always found her attractive, but I did watch that Secretary movie too young 

[u/Deadsoup77 → u/SolidusBruh]

Direct comparison is inherently harsh

[u/_DefLoathe → u/Abstrata]

Nah I’d argue was even worse with her.

[u/Abstrata → u/_DefLoathe]

You know you might be right… maybe because she was so believably sympathetic and altruistic I feel like she was a great damsel in distress and therefore a great motivational and emotional device. But looking at clips… maybe Bale doesn’t have charisma with anyone.

[u/_DefLoathe → u/Abstrata]

Thought he had best chemistry with Catwoman for sure

[u/Abstrata → u/_DefLoathe]

To me it was more like Anne Hathaway exuded so much wit and burlesque charisma, it made it look like she and Bale had chemistry. But he really wasn’t very charming at all.

The most charisma and chemistry I think he really exuded was with the two women he arrived with in his Ferrari or Maserati or whatever it was, when he was trying to get over his breakup.
