{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'' the Digimon is thought of as nothing more than a media franchise including a TV series akin to, but separate from, the first two seasons of the anime. Then Guilmon and the others come to the real world and everything changes.
Line 33:
== Film ==
* In ''[[Condorman]]'', the creator of the titular comic book hero is so obsessed with being realistic that he refuses to write anything that he can't do himself in real life. Sure enough, when the CIA ends up sponsoring his antics in order to rescue a major Soviet defector, they build all of the gadgets he's invented, leading to a hilarious [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?]] speech from the [[Big Bad]].
* In the ''[[Hellboy (Film)|Hellboy]]'' film, Hellboy is only known to the outside world as an urban myth and the star of a series of comicbooks. When John Meyers meets the real HB, he complains that the comics never get his eyes right.
* In ''[[Captain America the First Avenger]]'' Steve Rogers is being dressed up and paraded as the mascot "Captain America" as a way to boost the morale of the troops. They not only make films about the fictional character, they also make a Captain America comic-book series.
== [[Fanfic]] ==
* There's a very, very [[Fan Fic Recommendations|good]] ''[[Power Rangers]]'' [[Fanfic]] that did this inspired by the crossover between ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' and ''[[Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation (TV)|Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation]]'', where [[Faeries Don't Believe in Humans, Either|each team thought the other was just an urban legend]].
== Literature ==
