History NotSoDifferentRemark / VideoGames

* ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'':
** ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'': At the end of the story, Mainstream Superman admits to Batman that if he was put through the same FaceHeelTurn like his [[EvilMeScaresMe Regime counterpart]], he might react the same way. He hopes the day never comes to pass, though Insurgency Batman tells him that if it does pass, he'll come to hunt him down. In his ladder ending, [[spoiler:unsettled by his fight with his EvilCounterpart, Mainstream Superman decides to ingest a Kryptonite piece that can be remotely detonated by a trigger which rotates between each of the Justice League members, in case he ever goes down his counterpart's path. Appropriately enough, Batman has been denied a shift with the trigger.]]
** ''VideoGame/Injustice2'':
*** In the game's opening, Batman points out how Superman's WellIntentionedExtremist approachon crime after Metropolis has not only driven him and most of the Justice League [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope down a path]] [[BewareTheSuperman of tyranny and fear]], it also transformed them into the very monsters they once fought against.
*** In the tie-in comics, Batman is compared to Superman by a US senator who accuses Batman of [[WhatTheHellHero constantly acting on his own without any input of people around him]], which [[NiceJobBreakingItHero lead to catastrophic consequences]] and hammers home that the only real difference between him and Superman is that Superman was more ''effective'' than Batman. On a much darker side, he elects to use Kryponite-infused [[SupernaturalFearInducer fear toxin]] against [[spoiler:Zod]] when he goes into PapaWolf mode, ''the exact same weapon'' that Joker used on Superman to cause so many problems for the world in the first place. In the game itself, Damian points out whether Batman would have taken the same route as Superman did if the Joker nuked Gotham and killed Damian instead of going after Metropolis, to which Batman is unable to answer.
*** Harley points out to Wonder Woman how she has become very similar to her, namely the fact that they tried to impress the wrong guy (Joker and Superman). Wonder Woman, while secretly acknowledging her role in manipulating Superman down a path of tyranny, [[IgnoredEpiphany responds by stabbing Harley in the stomach]], though Harley survives thanks to Supergirl's timely intervention.
*** After realizing what a monster her cousin has become, Supergirl is all-too-happy to tell this to Superman. [[InsultBackfire He retorts]] by stating that Krypton would have been saved if his father Jor-El had been more like Zod. On top of that, Zod's motivation for his coup in Post-Crisis canon was trying to save his planet from destruction by supplanting its ObstructiveBureaucrat leaders, which is is not unlike what Superman's now doing, and his rather condescending view of humanity as ''needing'' him to protect them is not terribly removed from [[PunyEarthlings how Zod sees them]].
*** Several villains such as Atrocitus and Gorilla Grodd invoke this trope on Superman. Most notably in his arcade ending, Grodd [[spoiler:steals Brainiac's tech to become a GalacticConqueror and impose his order, something which Superman does in the "Absolute Power" ending]].
*** Invoked by Scarecrow in one of his intros with Batman, as both use fear as a weapon against their enemies.
*** As usual is with him in most DC Comics media, the Joker invokes this trope in his StrawNihilist mindset, but many of the characters consider it nonsense, and [[YoureInsane some even call him out on his insanity.]]

* In ''VideoGame/BountyHunter'', when Jango Fett and his arch-nemesis Montross face down for the final time, Montross says "We are the same, you and I." Fett replies, hilariously, "[[DeadpanSnarker Now you're just]] [[StealthInsult being mean]]."

** Fideo invokes this with BigBad[=/=]DemotedToDragon Kageyama and tells him that the reason why he continued to be involved with soccer, despite claiming to hate it, is for the same reason why Fideo continued to play it, he loved his father and his plays (though it's not made clear what happened to Fideo's father).
