Line 325:
* [[Insult Backfire]]: People say that I'm a sick, depraved, twisted, perverted, evil psychopath. I say "Thank You."
** For example, in ''Arkham Asylum'':
{{quote| '''Batsy:''' Filthy degenerate!<br />
'''Me:''' Flattery will get you nowhere. }}
** On ''[[The Batman]]''.
{{quote| '''Me:''' Medical Report! Stat!<br />
'''Doc:''' Y-you had a bad accident. You're a very sick man!<br />
'''Me:''' Flattery won't save you! }}
** ''[[Batman]]: The Long Halloween''
{{quote| '''The Bat:''' ''[[You're Insane!|You're insane]]!''<br />
'''Me:''' Has it really taken you this long to notice? }}
** One of my oldest cases:
{{quote| '''Boy Blunder:''' You're out of your mind, Joker!<br />
'''Me:''' Gloriously so! Isn't it wonderful? }}
** And an even earlier example in ''The Joker's Five-Way Revenge'' (Batman #251). Yeah, I ''really'' like this trope.
{{quote| '''Guanoman:''' Joker -- you realize you're utterly... hopelessly... insane!<br />
'''Me:''' It's my most charming trait! }}
** Subverted, however, in ''[[The Dark Knight]]''.
{{quote| '''Gambol:''' You're crazy.<br />
'''Me:''' I'm not... No, I'm not. }}
** Aaaand played straight in [[Tim Burton]]'s ''Batman'':
{{quote| '''Vinnie:''' You're crazy.<br />
'''Me:''' Ever hear of the healing power of laughter? }}
** Later:
{{quote| '''Vicky Vale:''' You're insane...!<br />
'''Me:''' ''(feigning surprise)'' I thought I was Pisces. }}
** And again in ''[[The Batman Adventures]]'':
{{quote| '''Henchman:''' You're insane!<br />
'''Me:''' I know. I've got a certificate and everything. }}
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: I even [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman/Judge_Dredd_Vol_1_2 faced up] to [[Judge Dredd|Old Chinface]], what a death count! [[Your Head Asplode|It was a real hoot]], but Chinface's got even ''less'' of a sense of humour than the Bat! Jeez, some people just can't take a joke.
Line 500:
* [[You're Insane!]]: [[Insult Backfire|Ain't it glorious?]]
* [[Your Little Dismissive Diminutive]]: Ah yes, your little observation that I use this a lot is quite fitting, especially if you got it from ''[[The Dark Knight]]''. I use it at least six times in that movie.
