Batman Gambit/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* An example from ''[[Batman the Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' that '''WASN'T''' planned by The Bat: An industrialist who is secretly going broke themes his new casino after [[The Joker]], while all the time denying the connection. He expects this to infuriate the Joker, who will come destroy the place, which will trigger his multi-million dollar insurance policy. Unfortunately, Batman tells the Joker all this mid-rampage and he decides a better revenge is offing him instead.

** Another such gambit involves a gangster and rival of the Joker dying and willing him 250 million dollars. On paper. What ''really'' happened was that only 10 million dollars of the inheritance was real. The rival was banking on the Joker's massive ego not allowing him to admit to being fooled, which makes things hard for the Joker when it's time to pay inheritence tax.
