Take your pick:
* In one of Bruce and Alfred's many bizarre conversations, Bruce gets this gem:
-->'''Bruce''': Ha, ha, ha! Sworn to secrecy. Ha, ha! Such a thing... Such an octopus of a thing. And I have only an inkling!
**It's a strangely adequate description of the experience of reading the comic, and [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2011/03/batman-octopus-1299616950.jpg the accompanying illustration]] makes it even better.
* After Ra's al Ghul fends off an attempt on his life by a group of the Sensei's assassins, this exchange happens:
-->'''Ra's al Ghul:''' I think that one's dead.
-->'''Alfred:''' Most assuredly. As well the gentleman pinned to the Herodotus volume.
* Sleep-deprived Bruce Wayne ''taking a nap'' on the floor of the bat-cave in the middle of an intense conversation.
-->'''Deadman:''' Doom is at the door and you're taking a nap!
* Right before that brilliant moment, we have Batman’s exhausted, horrified, annoyed and downright snarky reaction to the situation.
-->'''Ra’s:''' He’s decided to kill me and take my place
--> '''Batman:''' Of course, you '''IDIOT'''. You raised him as an '''ASSASSIN'''! What did you '''THINK''' he’d do? You '''TRAINED''' him. It’s what he does!
* Batman, Jamroth Bok, and Primus are fighting Ubu, when a ''giant stingray'' flies out of the ocean and shoots a dart at him apparently out of its anus! The reactions from the characters are priceless:
-->'''Ubu:''' AGK! The thing! The thing! NO!
-->'''Jamroth Bok:''' AHHK... From below... [[NonSequitur it's like a magnet.]]
-->'''Ubu:''' Hell has come for me... no ARRRRGH!
* Batman's reaction to seeing a whale.
-->'''Batman''': Sweet mother of God! A whale? A whale? A whale?!!!
-->'''Aquaman''': Yes... A whale.
* Alfred offering to kill the villain, since Batman [[ThouShaltNotKill refuses]], and Ra's is being whiny.
-->'''Alfred''': Put me in there, I'll kill him. I don't give a [[UnusualEuphemism hydroelectric dam]] about all this flap.
* The arguable signature scene of the book, [[spoiler: Batman [[WhyAmITicking blowing Robin up]]]], is [[BlackComedy dark comic gold]], just for how [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment out-of-nowhere]] it is, even in the context of this book.
-->'''Batman''': Blah, blah. Prattle on you small-minded fool!
-->'''SFX''': THOOOOM
* Robin's reaction to learning the identity of his parents' murderer has to be seen to be believed. Although really, it's Batman's [[{{Narm}} narmtastic]] narration (featuring SkewedPriorities, BrutalHonesty, and no fewer than ''twenty'' ellipses) that makes the scene.
* Batman beats one antagonist with [[WhatsAHenway the henway joke]]. Yes.
