3->''"Sometimes... sometimes I think the Asylum is a head. We're inside a huge head that dreams us all into being. Perhaps it's your head, Batman. Arkham is a looking glass... and we are you."''

9-->-- '''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}''', ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy''
10
11->They were both Fate's mom, but only one of them was good, which made the coming battle symbolic. Maybe it was symbolic of motherhood, and how a real mother is the one who cares for the child, not the one who gives birth to her (or in this case, grows her in a cloning vat).
12-->-- ''Fanfic/{{Infinity}}''
13
14->Both his and Sabbac's powers stemmed from the same diabolical source. Both of them had done deals with a fearsome and evil entity, and had been enabled to change into a new, more powerful, and more evil sort of being with the speaking of a word.\
15In a sense, they were evil Captain Marvels.

46
47->If confronting a Beast brings a [[TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil hunter]] a moment of doubt, meeting a Hero is like looking into a mirror and realizing you don't much care for the person gazing out at you.

62->''"It is like us. A flowing message. Crawling letters. A living meme. It is not us. It is anti-us, anti-luminosity that crucifies sentience."''

67->''"I keep coming back to that {{tagline}}. 'Your Enemies Shall Define You'. 'Cause it's true, Batman has the best villains in the business beause they all reflect an aspect of ''Batman'': Two-Face reflects his duality, Scarecrow his use of fear and psychological tactics, Poison Ivy his-- er....[[{{Metaphorgotten}} shapely buttocks]]."''

72->''This is the basic problem with any 'evil version of the hero' villain. Because the role of the villain is to be reliably defeated they cannot possibly be an equivalent to the hero, whose role is, after all, to [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin reliably not be defeated]]. (This inferiority is even reflected in his name - [[Series/DoctorWho the Master has a lesser academic degree than the Doctor]])''
73-->-- '''El Sandifer''', "Tardis Eruditorum"
74
75->''Why would Bruckman pursue a relationship with anybody? You would be blighted with the exact circumstances of the moment they would be taken away from you. Instead he lives a depressing existence selling insurance because at least he can [[BlessedWithSuck do some good with his gift]] that way, ensuring that people who are about to lose somebody are sufficiently covered... Hauntingly the connection between Bruckman and [[SerialKiller the killer]] is made perfectly clear: one predicts the deaths and the other makes them happen. You cannot have one without the other.''

77
78->''Elektra works well as a concept for the same reason that Sean Bean as [[{{Film/GoldenEye}} Alec Travelyn]] worked well...she’s the very concept of a Bond girl twisted and distorted. Objectified and abused, treated as a pawn in a game played between Renard and her father, she wasn’t ever treated as a person in her own right. Although obviously not taken to the same extremes, Elektra endured the most cynical version of the treatment regularly afforded Bond girls -- as if she was nothing more than leverage or a body to warm a bed. Bond was never brutal to his conquests, but he used them all the same. Elektra has had enough of being played, and seeks to be a player in her own right.''

81->''I believe Dust is thinking what I’m thinking,” [[VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail Ahrah]] said suddenly. “Dust was born of the wind and earth, leaving the final two elements, fire and water. Steam is born of those two elements. He could very well be similar to Dust.''

84->''He's the perfect nemesis for the little brother. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] is brave and valiant, so he gets Bowser to match strength with. Luigi is fearful and more of a thinker, so King Boo gives him something to overcome, but also a challenge that Mario would struggle with. The hero fights the dragon, the thinker fights his ''fears.

94->''"You don't need me to tell you that [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Marx]] and Franchise/{{Kirby}} look kinda similar at a base level, to the point that you could be forgiven for believing that they're the same species. Marx likes food, likes to have fun, and rolls around on a cute little ball. By all accounts, he should be a sweet ''baby'' just like Dream Land’s hero. [[BitchInSheepsClothing And when he’s not]], the fact that he's in a universe where Kirby also exists just feels… wrong, like a betrayal of not just Kirby’s aesthetic, but of the mood of the Kirby series as a whole. Kirby characters… don’t really backstab each other. Sure, [[VideoGame/KirbysAdventure King Dedede doesn’t tell Kirby about why he broke apart the Star Rod here]], or neglects to mention [[VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad the god of the underworld he had locked in his basement there]], but no one really takes advantage of Kirby to do anything diabolical. Mostly, they just work around him and hope he doesn’t mess their plans up. Even future traitors like [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Magolor]] would at least try to do things on their own before turning to Kirby, and even ol’ Mags was overwhelmed by the power of the Master Crown, losing his sense of self in the process. Marx, though? He’s introduced as Kirby’s friend. He knows what Kirby can do. He uses Kirby to get the ultimate power he craves. And his endgame in all of this? [[ForTheEvulz Just to make all the mischief he wants.]]"''
