The [[Trope Namer]] is [[Batman]], specifically the 60's [[Adam West]] ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'', who, given his title as the World's Greatest Detective, can easily fall into this when a writer gets into a rut (or is [[Rule of Funny|playing it up for laughs]]). Can also be interpreted as "batshit crazy deduction," or, less often, "lazy writer deduction." |

Compare [[Eureka Moment]], where the seemingly illogical leap actually does have a logical explanation - it just doesn't get explained at the time in order to keep up the suspense; when the last clue is a [[Smoking Gun]], making the previous ones redundant, it's [[Clue, Evidence, and a Smoking Gun]]; [[Conviction by Counterfactual Clue]], where the logic is based on faulty deduction; and [[Right for the Wrong Reasons]], where the logic is correct but the premises are mistaken. Also see [[Only the Author Can Save Them Now]]. This is a natural result of having [[Super Intelligence]]. May look a lot like [[Insane Troll Logic]], except in this case the deduction is correct. [[Epileptic Trees]] are fan theories that look like this. Contrast with [[Clue, Evidence, and a Smoking Gun]] where no deduction is really needed. |
