** In this case, being changed into a piece of candy counts as turning into a new form... at least if you're Vegito.
* This follows naturally in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', where, thanks to Spiral Energy, confidence ''is'' combat ability. Except for wild cards like the Mugann, the Ball is in the court of whoever is delivering a [[Badass Boast]] at the moment.
Line 27:
* [[Batman]] almost always holds the Ball in direct conflict. Three guys with knives or a dozen Mooks with machine guns, it makes no difference. Therefore, the general method of his rogue's gallery to deal with him is to attack him indirectly, especially by undermining what he believes in and threatening those he values.
** One notable exception is in ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]].'' Batman does ''not'' hold the advantage in his first fight with the much younger and stronger leader of the Mutants, and is almost killed before Carrie rescues him. Batman learns his lesson and the next time they fight, ''he'' chooses the battleground and pulls out [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|every dirty trick in the book]] to beat him. This time the Ball is firmly in Batman's court and he wins decisively.
** Batman's true advantage comes at night or otherwise in darkness, the very reason he based his MO and costume on a bat. More than one mook has been ridiculed for thinking he could escape by "killing the lights", so to speak.
