Line 54:
*** "You are gods, and one cannot fight gods."
* This is zigzagged in the second ''[[Batman]] / [[Spider-Man]]'' inter-company crossover. {{spoiler|When Ra's Al-Ghul realizes he's been [[Out-Gambitted]] by The Kingpin, who had been working with Spidey (opposed to Ra's himself) he ''laughs his head off'' and congratulates him for his cleverness, then tells Fisk and the heroes they can leave his stronghold unmolested. ''However'', he then tells Kingpin that the cure for his wife he had promised doesn't actually exist, and the two heroes have to hold the big man back. And as the final page shows, Ra's is lying; the cure does exist, and if not for Talia, she wouldn't have gotten it.}}
* In one Pre-Crisis story, the Prankster seems to be this; after his crazy pranks cause chaos in Metropolis, [[Superman]] eventually tracks him down, only for the villain, surprisingly, to laugh his head off and surrender. Of course, the Prankster - who in this version became a villain after losing his job hosting a kid's television program - had never intended to get away with it; [[Xanatos Gambit| he'd planned all the chaos as a publicity stunt]], and also planned to write a book that he'd publish after doing time, hopefully making a fortune. Seeing as this was his last appearance Pre Crisis, one can only guess how successful it was.
