* ComicBook/{{Bizarro}}s sometimes react like this to human insults, as they consider things like ugliness or idiocy to be good things. However, because of their inconsistently-inverted thinking, they can react variously - sometimes, they'll see it as an insult, other times as flattery, and at least once [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs as flattery and THEREFORE an insult]].

** Anarky does get in a more effective swipe later, though, dismissing the Lord of Apokalips as irrelevent to his quest to understand the nature of evil, because if Darkseid's fundamental nature is to do what he does, and he can't go against it, he's not making a moral choice. Essentially, he insults Darkseid by saying he's ''not'' evil.

* The Joker in ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' is always some combination of a [[TheMadHatter Mad Hatter]] and a CardCarryingVillain, so he gets to do this a '''lot'''. For example, in ''Arkham Asylum''
--> '''Batman:''' Filthy degenerate!
--> '''Joker:''' Flattery will get you nowhere.
** On ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
---> '''Joker:''' Medical Report! Stat!
---> '''Doctor:''' Y-you had a bad accident. You're a very sick man!
---> '''Joker:''' Flattery won't save you!
** ''Franchise/{{Batman}}: ComicBook/TheLongHalloween''
---> '''Batman:''' ''You're insane''!
---> '''Joker:''' Has it really taken you this long to notice?
** An early version of this (at least for the Joker), from Franchise/{{Batman}} #321.
---> '''Robin:''' You're out of your mind, Joker!
---> '''Joker:''' Gloriously so! Isn't it wonderful?
** And an even earlier example in ''The Joker's Five-Way Revenge'' (Batman #251). Yeah, the Joker ''really'' likes this trope.
---> '''Batman:''' Joker -- you realize you're utterly... hopelessly... insane!
---> '''Joker:''' It's my most charming trait!
** Averted, however, in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''.
---> '''Gambol:''' You're crazy.
---> '''Joker:''' (offended) I'm not... No, I'm not.
** And played straight in Creator/TimBurton's ''Film/{{Batman}}'':
---> '''Vicky Vale:''' You're insane...!
---> '''Joker:''' (feigning surprise) I thought I was Pisces.
** Batman gets Joker back in a story from ''Batman: Black and White''.
---> '''Joker:''' You know you’re insane, Don’t you?
---> '''Batman:''' I'm insane?
---> '''Joker:''' Oh sure, I have [[{{Understatement}} one or two small delusions of my own]] but you - you actually think you can stop crime!
---> '''Batman:''' What do you mean? (Smiles) I stop it every night.
* ''Comicbook/{{Wanted}}''
--> '''Adam One:''' Fuck you, you fascist bastard.
--> '''The Future:''' You say fascist like it's some kind of insult, but people '''love''' fascists, man. You ever meet a woman who fantasized about being tied up and raped by a liberal?
** Probably a paraphrase of P.J. O'Rourke who was once called a Nazi by an offended listener. "I have often been called a Nazi... I don't let it bother me for one simple reason. No one has ''ever'' had a fantasy about being tied to a bed and sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal."
** Don't forget Mr. Rictus reply to Wesley calling him a "goatfucker."
--> "I do not fuck goats, Mr. Gibson. I make love to them."
* In Creator/EnkiBilal's ''Nikopol''-trilogy the eponymous characters once calls the Egyptian god Horus an inhuman bastard. Horus doesn't take this as compliment per se, but still explains Nikopol that he ''is'' inheritly inhuman, that is, far above the pathetic human concerns, like morality.
* In the British comic book anthology, ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'':
** ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': Dredd at one point confronted the evil Call-Me-Kenneth, a robot leading all the other machines into a rebellion against the humans. Seeing the horrors of what's in front of him, Dredd proceeded to insulting Kenneth:
--> '''Dredd:''' We had a human like you in the 20th century, his name was Hitler!
--> '''Call-Me-Kenneth:''' Oh yes, I'm a very big fan of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler!
** In the third Dark Judges story, published in ''ComicBook/AndersonPsiDivision'', one of [[OmnicidalManiac Judge Death]]'s victims defiantly calls him a "murdering swine". Death, who is completely obsessed with killing, retorts that flattery won't save his life.
* From ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' #4:
--> '''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}''': Go to hell.
--> '''ComicBook/LexLuthor''': I've been. It's overrated.
* Exchange between Comicbook/JeanGrey and ComicBook/EmmaFrost during Creator/GrantMorrison's run on ''New Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'';
-->'''Jean''': What makes you such a bitch, Emma?
-->'''Emma''': Breeding, darling. Top-class breeding.
** From a recent issue of ''[[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} Uncanny X-Men]]'' that ties in with ''Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen'', when Colossus learns that his sister had manipulated him into becoming the new Juggernaut so he could be as much a monster as she had become;
--->'''Colossus''': You're insane!
--->'''Magik'''(overjoyed): Oh thank you, thank you! I knew you'd eventually understand!
* From the series ''ComicBook/{{Anarky}}'' the eponymous character confronts PhysicalGod {{ComicBook/Darkseid}} and begins to lecture Darkseid on why everything he does is wrong. Just when he's about to use the E-word Darkseid cuts him off and proudly finishes the "insult" for him.
-->'''Darkseid:''' Evil? Yes. I am.
* In ''[[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]'', this exchange between [[VoiceWithAnInternetConnection Oracle]] and [[MadScientist T.O. Morrow]], after she learns that he lied about when the [[TheJuggernaut Amazo android]] would awaken:
-->'''Morrow:''' Letting you think you still had half an hour to assemble the troops was just my way of hanging onto a little criminal integrity, my dear. No hard feelings, I hope.
-->'''Oracle:''' You sick freak!
-->'''Morrow:''' One tries one's best.
* From the ''ComicBook/MetalMen'' strip in Wednesday Comics, #5 - Dr. Pretorius, the villain of the strip, has just revealed that he is wearing a bomb vest, and that his motivation for his attack is that Dr. Magnus, creator of the Metal Men, "stole" the grant he felt he deserved by designing the Responsometers that power the Metal Men.
-->'''Dr. Pretorius''': To '''hell''' with the committee! And to hell with you and your damn amusement park attractions!
-->'''Mercury''': Hey! IResembleThatRemark!
* From ComicBook/MarvelAdventures ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', Erik "Atlas" Josten tries to do this to Hank "Ant-Man" Pym, who had giant-sized to fight him.
-->'''Erik:''' You won't win, Hank. Why don't you go back to playing with your ants?
** What does Ant-Man do? Smile as he realizes [[NiceJobFixingItVillain that's not a bad idea]] at all.
-->'''Hank:''' Good idea (Hank enlarges three ants to waist-level). Get him, boys.
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** An odd exchange happened in one arc between ComicBook/NormanOsborn and his then-henchman Mad Jack. In one issue, Norman tried to pay Jack for completing a job, but Jack refused it, flying out Norman's office window:
--->'''Jack:''' Go to Hades.\\
'''Norman:''' Hades? Why Jack... I've been there...
** Many issues later, Norman gave Jack another payment for another job, and this time, Jack accepted it. The previous incident was mentioned:
--->'''Norman:''' I think it's very generous, Jack, considering that you once told me to go to Hades.\\
'''Jack:''' I thought you'd take it as a compliment!\\
'''Norman:''' (''smirks'') Now that you mention it... I guess I did! (''cue EvilLaugh from both villains''.)
** In the comic where Spider-Man faces [[EvilAlbino Tombstone]] after the villain gains superhuman strength and rock-hard skin, there's this exchange after Spidey finds out about it.
--->'''Spider-Man:''' Tombstone... I hate to be the one to tell you this, but... I don't think you're human anymore...\\
'''Tombstone:''' I know...\\
(''Spidey punches him, but only gets a SlasherSmile from the villain'')\\
'''Tombstone:''' I'm ''better''.
** To make it worse, Spidey comments that Tombston's grip is "Cold as ice... Hard as marble!" Tombstone actually thinks that sounds kind of catchy, and thanks the hero for thinking of it. ("How else would you describe a ''tombstone''?" he laughs.)
* ''ComicBook/TheTick'' is TheDitz, so frequently he'll interpret insults as compliments or simply not understand that they were insults.
-->'''Professor:''' No insult intended.\\
'''Tick:''' None comprehended! (''goofy grin'')
* [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Scrooge McDuck]] is quite happy whenever someone calls him a "tightwad" or a "cheapskate" or a "skinflint" -- the sooner everyone knows that, the sooner they'll know there's no point asking him for money!
** It's apparently a family trait: in one occasion Scrooge and his father were called "Liars and cowards, as well as tightwads", and they took offence only at the liars and cowards.
* At one point Bigby of ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' gets called a "son-of-a-bitch". Since this is [[TheBigBadWolf literally true]], his response is essentially, "Yep, and she was a pretty great mother, too."
* In ''Comicbook/BatmanEternal'', when Jason Bard exposes the new police commissioner as a CorruptCop, ans warns the mayor who appointed him that he's next, the mayor spits out "You're just like Gordon, kid!" Without turning round as he leaves, Bard just says "Thank you".
