{{quote|''"Attention [[The Mafia|mafia types]]. Stop hanging out in buildings with skylights. They'll only get broken."''
|'''Chris Hastings''', ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/3p6 Issue 3 Page 6] [[Alt Text]]}}
The modern spin on the [[Sheet of Glass]]. An example of the [[Rule of Cool]].
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
{{examples}}
== Anime
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''. Having a cyborg body helps.
* In the first episode of ''[[Murder Princess]]'', a group of bounty hunters bursts through a palace window on a motorcycle with balls of fire for wheels.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
== Fan Works ==
* The skylight variation is used in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' {{spoiler|when Kyon interrupts a meeting whilst holding a spy.}}
* ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' continuation fanfic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120420222334/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6949110/1/A_Piece_Of_Glass A Piece Of Glass]'' has OC Breech Loader throw a chair at a window, which only cracks. She uses the weakened glass and her running momentum to smash through it and drop three stories to the ground, to escape Arkham Asylum. [[The Joker]], who was using her much louder escape as a diversion for his own, is very impressed.
* As demonstrated in the second page quote, L does this at one point in ''[[Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami]]''. It is completely insane.
{{quote|''"I will have to use stealth instead" said L [[With Catlike Tread|and jumped in the broken window screaming]].'' All this from the world's three greatest detectives. }}
Line 225 ⟶ 226:
* Sal Walters, one of the [[Super Soldier|alien-enhanced abductees]] in ''[[It's Walky!]]'' jumps in and out through upper story windows more often than not, leading comments from her boyfriend about all the broken glass. The [[Big Bad]] eventually gets to cause an excellent anticlimactic moment with Sal-proofed windows. (She then promptly bursts through the ''floor'', but it was a good try.)
* Plasma-Man has done this [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027083333/http://amazingplasmaman.com/comics/32 at least] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027095027/http://amazingplasmaman.com/comics/57/ twice] in ''[[The Incredible and Awe Inspiring Serial Adventure of The Amazing Plasma-Man]]''.
* In ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', this is one of the special abilities of the Dashing Swordsman prestige class, [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0392.html which is demonstrated] right after Elan [[Took a Level in Badass|takes a level in it]].
** The trope is further lampshaded in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0471.html this strip], where Elan explains that the Dashing Swordsmen are immune to damage caused by sharp glass.
** This happens [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0589.html again], but it's the third dramatic entrance on the whole page.
Line 247 ⟶ 248:
* Despite the Joker being [[Genre Savvy]] enough for the above quote, he does a super window jump (from a considerable height) of his own in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Mask of the Phantasm]]''. But then again he IS [[Genre Savvy]] enough to be aware of his own [[Joker Immunity]].
* In the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "Less Than Hero", the mayor attempts to summon the New Justice Team - {{spoiler|Actually Fry, Leela, and Bender}} - while they're right in front of him in his office. In order to not blow their identities they quickly make up excuses; {{spoiler|Fry}} declares that he can't take life anymore and jumps out through a window, and instantly returns in-costume through a ''different'' window.
* When [[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* When [[Family Guy|Stewie]] does this he's replaced with a ''very'' noticeable [[Stunt Double]].
* ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'', forbidden (among numerous [[Moral Guardians|heavy restrictions]]) to depict anyone breaking through glass, caused Spidey to leap through always open or conspicuously, utterly windowless spaces.
