* ''Film/MichaelClayton'': The prologue gives us an in-depth introduction to Michael in a brief scene: he's introduced at a gambling ring dodging questions about a failed business venture (indicating he has money problems), he's suddenly called out to handle a client embroiled in a hit-and-run (telling us his job at the law firm is somewhat atypical), and when he gets there he describes himself as "the janitor" and firmly tells the client that he's probably legally screwed and can't throw money at the problem to make it go away (showing that he's got an intimate knowledge of the law and a grim attitude towards his job).

He has another establishing moment when he and Jor-El are arguing about the genocide of humans. Jor-El tries to appeal to his empathy, and tries to get him to realize how horrible his actions are, while Zod flat out acknowledges this, and consciously chooses to ignore it.

** Denethor gets two introductory scenes, either in the extended version of ''The Two Towers'' or his first scene in ''Return of the King'', namely;
*** In the first, Boromir and Faramir are celebrating a victory, only for Faramir's mood to drop when he sees Denethor has shown up to congratulate Boromir, who's no happier about their dad's presence than his brother. Denethor then proceeds to blame Faramir for the city having been attacked in the first place and just generally criticize him.
*** In the second, Gandalf reaches Minas Tirith and, having just advised Pippin on all the things ''not'' to do to upset him, tries offering advice. Then Pippin sees an openly distraught Denethor is holding the Horn of Gondor, one of Boromir's possessions, and knows what this means. As the conversation goes on, Denethor reveals he knows about Aragon, and believes Gandalf is planning to get rid of him, something he has no intention of going along with. The Steward of Gondor is if not out of his mind then rapidly going that way, and he won't go quietly.
