"Walked right into that like a pro. You've done this before, am I right?"
  • Man-of-Bats is trying to surgically remove a bomb from Knight's stomach.
    Just lie back and think of England.
  • El (fake) Sombrero bragging about his overly-elaborate death traps, stating that any other criminal would just shoot their hostages so they can have more time for partying and coke-sniffing.
  • In the aftermath of the police station assault by the Circus of the Strange, Dick is frantically searching for Damian. He finds Damian "interrogating" Big Top (a bearded lady version of the Blob) by basically sticking her head in a small bucket and whacking it with a stick. It's so over-the-top mean spirited that it's kind of hilarious.
  • 'Sexy disco hot' and the following dance sequence from Pyg is hilarious as it is disturbing.
    Damian: You...you just redefined wrong.
  • Batman vs. The Red Hood:
    Batman (Dick Grayson): Don't make me humiliate you in front of your new girlfriend.
    Red Hood: SHE'S NOT MY--
    Batman: *slams his head into the ground* Backstory. Not interested.
  • Seeing all of Batman's most recognisable rogues sitting at an auction in full costume is quite a sight, especially given their irate reactions to the new Batman and Robin interrupting their auction.
  • When Bruce finds himself in the Stone Age, he encounters a cro-magnon who introduces the rest of his tribe. One such member - who has green eyes and laughs compulsively - is identified as "Joker". Bruce doesn't find him funny.
  • Batman invites Catwoman to go on an adventure with him in Japan. She agrees, on one condition: so long as it doesn't involve water. As they work the case, they end up in a comic shop where Selina is repulsed by tentacle porn. At the end of the issue, a hostage is dropped into a tank full of water (and also a horrible tentacle monster), with only Catwoman available to rescue her.
    Catwoman: What was the ONE THING?
  • Gordon in Batman and Robin #16. Having been kidnapped and dressed up in a pink dress, he returns to the precinct:
    Get me some clothes and DON'T EVEN ASK!
  • Batman's idea to prevent people from making the obvious connection between himself and his civilian identity is to go on a thinly veiled version of CBR and spread ridiculous rumors about himself. It works, as all hypotheses about Batman being Bruce Wayne start to be dismissed as insane conspiracy theories.
  • Doubles as a Moment of Awesome in certain aspects, but in Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes!, three of the teachers at the school for super villains that Stephanie Brown is investigating are unnamed expies of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Rihanna. The headmistress is Madonna.
  • Alfred explaining that he feeds gourmet food to the bats in the Batcave.
  • One of the covers is a close-up shot of the Batman Inc. members standing side by side... with short little Damian on the far right trying to get into frame.
    Frazer Irving: This is my idea of a joke.
